    Thanks ismy I think I can get a whole new parnis for about 10 more than just a movement so I'm very tempted.

    It would be nice to stat from scratch too though

    probably even less really mean I sold a cal dial fully working and it went for under £50 ( not a love of cal dials out there) so if you look second hand probably cheaper then a movement ...

    a lot of mods have to be done for the fun of it when the parts cost as they do ...

    take the seiko if you got an old seiko say you been using hard for years then it's fun and cheap to buy a dial / hands / insert but to do one from scratch just not cost effective sad truth of it .

    if you doing for keeps then all good buy the parts over weeks / months/years then it's not too expensive ..

    plus look at trade threads for parts too thats a good cheap way to source them ...

    thats why I stop the Russian modding at one time the pw was like a five each and that gave you most everything you needed apart from stems and case so that was like say £50 for those so was cheap and fun but seem the 3602 was well favour so the p.w pries have really gone up as that was one of the easiest movement to use as it had the 3 o'clock crown ...
