ยทI know this might be an unpopular topic but here it goes...
I'm thinking of building a frankenwatch by using the dial and hands of a PO 42mm Ti (calibre 8500) on a 8800 SMP, hopefully swapping the components to end up with 2 working watches. I would have a watchmaker do the surgery so I'm trying to ascertain the feasibility of this project beforehand. Can someone please confirm for me the following:
- will the PO dial and hands fit the 8800?
- will the date wheel from the 8500 work on the 8800? If not, is there a compatible date wheel that will have the proper orientation at 3 o clock?
Any useful information and advice will be greatly appreciated and please spare me the naysaying on my premeditated stupidity, lol.
