To my knowledge, movement drops in the noob case perfectly. I also had the opportunity to put it side by side with a friends gen to compare cases and honestly, the noob case is 99% gen at least from the outside.

@GMTG0D so if you add it all up this is about what a genuine should really cost or less...!

Very well done. Congratulations. That movement must of cost a fortune, Why didn't you go with a Tickleshoes/Yuki 3186

Well...once again...I am dripping with envy...

You guys who build these watches amaze me...the good thing is...if I could do this I'd be divorced and even my dogs wouldn't like me...

It's all I would be doing..not sure it's better than buying watches...but much more rewarding....

Very nice !!! 👍

Honestly, it was much less than a genuine one at current market price Right now.The reason it took me a year was that i not only pursued the parts but best possible prices as well. Yes, it is not a cheap build by any means but i still managed to stay in the 50% to 60% less than genuine range.

I figured after after going thru all that hassle that not going genuine movement was going to be a bad decision in the long run. At the end of the day i was able to source a genuine 3186 for $1800 so i could not pass that up.

Yes I know all about you guys. My friend who never got married or had kids but worked his ass off for 35 years is now retired at age 58, has 4 houses , 1 motorcycle, 4 cars . the oldest being 4 years. and a $200,000 boat plus 30 year old river babes all over him...On one hand it's sad because he admits it's lonely but on the other hand you should see the girls!!!!
