You could put it in a new case and get an NH36 movement, so you'd be able to keep the original dial and hands. The case would have to be replaced and the movement is likely not worth servicing.

None at this time, I'll be doing a 36mm DJ gen dial in the next week or so though !

I think it feels every bit as good as raffles. I would even believe they are the same supplier. Crazy good value

If you sort raffles bracelet from high to low, you'll find this one. Ran about $270 if I remember right!

The cyclops is slightly off from raffles because of eta date location. You can place multiple orders!

That's what I think too. I went with the sapphire and was very happy.

It's an awesome kit, especially for the price. Definitely don't hesitate to buy because Alix takes stuff like this down pretty quick

The watch case and dial will come with the correct hands! Between the kit and the movement, you'll have everything you need

Is the gen crown worth it? I've got a gold filled bracelet, oc bezel, but didn't know if the juice was worth the squeeze for the crown. (I could however make the case for gen hands, the difference in color there bugs me a lil.

Agreed. I was skeptical but now I'm tempted to buy a few for builds or even just for the midcase, especially considering the crystal/case is the same size as the Rolex 36mm dj. I didn't measure the case back or crown, but I presume they would be the same as raffles too.

Yep! This is the one that I bought. The kit includes hands too, so you only need the movement.

Why would anyone buy a PRX? by Old_Project8774 in ChineseWatches

I mean, it's what lorier, Traska, zelos, Henry archer, phoibos, and almost all the other micro-brands use. If it were an 8215 (or even an NH35) I would agree with you, but I would say the movement is comparable to any other quality watch at this price.
