Im still fairly new to reps and watches in general so sorry if this is a dumb question but regarding the skeleton sub, is the movement one that can be serviced by any watchsmith or am I going to have to find a very specific watchsmith? What I mean is that some watchsmiths won’t even look at tourbillons because of the complexity, does the same apply to this custom 3130? I am thinking of modding the appearance of this watch so if I spend that much money on a watch, I want to make sure it runs for 5 years at least lol.

There shouldn't be any additional difficulty servicing this movement. In fact it's completely missing all calendar parts so in that respect it's simpler. The framework will necessarily be a little more fragile, so extra care would be in order but there's not any extra complexity.

Thank you for letting me know that. Im going to create a piece unique lol. New open case back to remove the ARTSAN lol. New bezel with some gemstones to add some flash without making it looks like a rapper’s watch. Exotic leather strap. But movements I have no idea as I’m still learning so I need experts to help me out lol. Thanks.
once you see it in the flesh you wont want to change the bezel insert,it looks awesome in my opinion.
the only thing i would do would be to send it to the prof and get both crystals ar coated,but its all personal preference.

That doesn’t look too bad for a rep. The one dead give away is the balance tab.
Also agreed with KJ. It def looks unbalanced. Maybe they can skeletonize the date plate and add a little rectangle like hublots but put the date on the 9 marker.
I think that would balance it out more but then there’s another entire plate to skeletonize plus, the date wheel bits.
Still. Not too bad for a rep.

Any way to get rid of that “Artsan” case back? Lol. I asked Trusty if a regular sub case back would fit and he said no. If there’s any sort of replacement case back available then please let me know whether it’s open or closed!

Im wondering if this case back would fit this rep? The watch is modeled after the 114060 sub so an open caseback made for the 114060 should theoretically fit.
