Well after my recent experience doing a 2824 upgrade to another Ronda powered watch I just had to snag this off the forums when I saw it a couple weeks ago!

Still trying to decide on the hands and whether or not to try to apply some real lume to the dial but there is definitely a chronometer grade 2824 in this Orsa's future!

This is my first Orsa and so far I am very impressed!

Is swapping movements an expensive undertaking? Aside from the cost of the 2824 itself...

Just the cost of a new set of hands! It's a direct swap otherwise!
