Are these 4 parts the only ones you ended up swapping in the end? And can I please ask how much did it cost in the end? Thanks
It’s not really necessary to do the winding intermediate gear anymore since the Dandong version is now perfectly adequate. So the three parts that you’d want to upgrade for a “gen like experience” would be:
  1. The balance complete
  2. The pallet fork
  3. The escape wheel

In my case it started gen but since my one gen 3235 had serious issues I had to strip it down and replace or mix gen with vsf parts, now my project is 98.99% gen few parts still vsf but just yesterday ordered few other parts to get on to my 3235 movement which then will eliminate even further vsf, my project costed me £3980 I recon by end with all gens parts on case with gen 126610LN hands and crystal and gaskets will be £4300 let’s say for this money you can get nice fully gen two tone DJ 36mm or omega for just under £2900, or even Tudor brand new for £3600 not going to even mention Breitling with their vast collection great watches! Got gen Colt Chronograph on steel bracelet 2017! Stunning watch
