Hello community, I want to buy this movement and I need your all might wisdom. Is a good idea to buy this timepiece? Can I find all its parts ?

Thanks all of you.

 

Well the watch looks as though it's been more times around the block than Stormie Daniels. Signature parts are all there and it looks as though the rotor got into a serious scuffle at some stage, probably with other components in a parts drawer. Some screws are a bit burred.

I suppose it depends on which parts you're looking to salvage. Any use of the train bridge on another movement will render it a franken.

Cheers

Thank you this is a long term project I hope. I´ll take my time looking for every piece if it's necessary. This movement can be adapted to a Seamaster frame right ?

 

Depends on the case and the dial you source to match it. The dial on this 168.018 is flat and hence the cannon pinion and hour wheel will be of the "low" variety and will fit flat dials and some very marginal domed dials.
