Which Movement for Link Chrono Lady

[david262c]

Hello there,

I'm thinking about buying this Lady Link for my girl.

But I'm not really in love with those quartz movements. Is there any possibility to mod this watch with an ETA or equivalent movement?

Thanks for your answers!

David

The link never would re-direct, so I went to the WE site and couldn't find that exact item number. However, the Ladies' Link Chronos I saw seem to be pretty decent reps of the gen:

As for changing it to an auto, that would be virtually impossible. The case is too small for an A7750 movement, and I don't think there is a rep auto chrono movement that is small enough for this case. Plus, the chances of the subdial being in the right place is slim, and the hands would undoubtedly need to be changed. All-in-all, you could spend an extra $500+ and never get it to work.

HOWEVER... the gen is ALSO quartz, so switching to an auto would make it a less accurate rep and a tell that it's a fake.

The non-chrono Link does come in auto. I bought one (MOP face and diamond bezel) with a gen ETA movement (confirmed by watch smith). It's a beautiful watch and an automatic.

Thanks for the infos!
I didn't know the chrono has a quartz movement in gen.

Althought I don't like quartz movements I think I can live with it. Because there's this black version of the link Chrono in steel case without diamonds on the bezel I'd like to purchase.

Thanks again for the info!
