Caught a rare bird. But as an apprentice of the Purists, something should be done to make it more beautiful. The case is steel, which is a pity not in 18k white gold, and the standard 3300 movement with rhodium plated brass rotor also looks a bit ordinary...
Quite a dedication to make it perfect
Congratulations on making it happen. So you 'just' sourced a rotor from a discontinued reference and it matched the movement? Cool achievement
Congrats on the achievement, I would not even have thought about doing such things, changing the rotor, it is the first time I hear/see it !
By the way did you notice any change in chronometry/precision ? I would assume the movement is set based on his rotor and hence changing the rotor (weight, balance etc.) could change the timing precision ? Overall a very nice watch, if there was 1 thing t...
Usually the setting of rotor is the last step of movement assembling,
and the rotor itself is isolated from the power train along with the escapement by the spring barrel, so nothing will happen to the accuracy by changing the rotor. On the contrary, the efficiency of winding is believed to be improved with a gold rotor (wh...
These watch companies have to make money too. Don't complain.
Just buy the rose gold version. But the 3300 movement is great on my Laureato. I don't mind it having a stainless steel rotor. Btw. Very nice 1966 Gp. 👍 Geross.
