Good morning!

Joined a few days ago to broaden my knowledge of the Rep World. Have been a member on RWG and RWI for a few months now. Spend more time reading than posting tbh.

From the username you probably get that I am a surfer and spend a fair amount of time either in Cornwall or on the East Coast around Scarborough. I live in the beautiful Peak District national park - I couldn't get further from the sea!! Hence the name.

I've a small collection of gen watches mainly Omega. To replace them all now would probably run to a little over £20k. I've also got a couple of Reps, with another due any time now.

I got into reps because I really wanted a vintage SM300. I couldn't justify spending £2k on a Watchco version and all the full on vintage models are now so expensive with potentially so many Frankens about etc. I really love the shape, look and style of the watch so I'm unlikely to move it on, I'm not bothered about it being called out; I just really love this watch.

Sillix sorted one for me which I've had for three months now. Now I'm considering getting it modded. I need a closer to gen, or gen hesalite crystal first. Then, if it's possible, I'd like to put either a gen movement (562) in it or a 2813 (lower beat rate and closer to original). Currently has 2836. Final mod would be to put it on a gen bracelet, just need the end pieces to do this.

I'm not sure if I can do the movement swap, so any help here appreciated......I know there is a search field

Cheers
