I popped the pearl out stuck it in my lathe and polished it like that and then used a 2pm drill bit in a pin vize to make the bezel hole larger then glue it all back together
Thanks Watcher, it is more the colour of the bezel that digs at me, it is just a bit too? well too blue.
Ryaku, i may go for some finedd AR next time i send anything down to Uwe, i sold my black gen by the way so we are equal on the frankens.
Red the basic watch from mary at less than $200 is well worth it, Even had a swiss 2824 fitted! I may relume that dial and sell it on to bring the costs down on this as well.
Oh the rep with the correct HE position is from Mary at watchinternational and it was a great service that i recieved and the case takes a gen tube with out problems just pull out the old one, pop the new on in the freeser for and hour and then push it in (still stiff but that ensures for a good fit!)
Just quick post on this as it is not that special, but thanks to a great deal on a Gen dial movement and hands i started building this on as i have always been a bond fan.
the recipe
Gen dial
gen hands
gen 1120 movement
gen tube
gen crown
gen bracelet (i got a great deal on this brand new)
Rep case and bezel (pearl polished and recessed, but the lume is still crap compared to the dial)
Any one got a gen bezel insert????????
I think the crown guards could be a touch shorter but apart from that i could add AR but the easrly 1120 gens did not have any as afar as i know.
quite any easy project this one.

Guys thanks for all the great times I have spent here,
Thanks for the great friends I have made here, virtually and real
Thanks for all the great information that I have learned from here.
Since I joined this forum back on the 2nd April 2006 my life has had some changes, I got older, and I started a new career and will soon be finishing an old one. I have spent too much on watches that I can only wear two at a time and even then I look stupid but I don’t care!
Thank you all
But in particular the Admin and moderating team for making this place what it is.
There are so many other names that I would like to mention but am scared to do in case I miss some one out but to all those I owe thanks to, THANK YOU
