@Unreg --> thanks!...wow...great info...tremendous...i'm "starting" to get this all... R-

beautiful work...well done!... R-

very nice read - and as always - a nice reality check from The Zigmeister!...

thanks, Christos!...

also learned the technique of holding/steadying a screwdriver with a set of tweezers...geeky, i know - but a darn nice little tip... R-

My current collection: The dear departed:

if it was me, i'd send the watch back and get a complete replacement...why go thru the hassle and risk of something going wrong...so unless he planne to give you a dial AND some refund, i'd insist on sending it completely back...but unfortunately this will take time...most dealers will only send you a replacement after receiving the returned watch...so figure that a return/receive will take a 15-20 days - if you are lucky...but many of us have returned watches successfully with various dealers... one other point - avitt is right on the crystal...addtionally, there's always uncertainty in transplanting parts from one watch model to another - even with watches known to be from he same factories - but more so, when made in different factories... my 2 cents... good luck!...R

nba - to my knowledge, the old lume dots are carefully removed...and then new lume is applied...and it should be applied flatly - not in a blob... enjoy - R

well done, Christos!...nice to see that white arabic Navi again!...R

Unreg - well done...thanks for doing this...very appreciated...R question: is there a rule of thumb - for the various series - regarding the placement of the lever and the thicknesses on either side of the lever?...

very cool, P... looks like he has a nice assortment...

in a Breitling mood lately...

The gen blue dial is wellllllll - just gorgeous...the dial color is just right - as is the matte finish...another really understated advantage of the gen dial is the power of the white paint on the dial...it's simply much brighter... I've yet to see the completed watches as Mike just finished the swap-out this weekend...for those wanting to know - here's what was done... Components: v1 ss Chrono Avenger white dial watch, v3 grey Skyland Avenger watch, gen blue Chrono Avenger dial, Skyland blue hands...Josh is one of the few that still carry the v1 ss white dial Avenger watch - last page of his Avengers...it has a high-beat "decorated" movement - same as the v3 Skyland; exactly the same case as the elusive discontinued ti Chrono Avenger; but has a short 6 o'clock leg of its chrono hand and a lousy "rep" datewheel - both corrected on the Skyland... The blue gen Chrono Avenger dial was sourced through Concepta...cheers, my friend!... The gen blue CA dial and Skyland hands replaced the grey Skyland dial/hands - and then the blue dial Chrono Avenger "assembly" was installed into the v1 ss Chrono Avenger case...The white dial Chrono Avenger "assembly" was then installed into the Skyland case... As Andreww has requested, I am now able to movement the dial "assemblies" into the various cases...so it should be a fairly easy process to move the gen blue dial assembly into the v1 ti case...the only real issue we've had in the process is getting the darn movement retainer clips back on - they require a little tweaking since the dials have slightly different thicknesses... Thanks for looking and for the comments...this has been a fun project... As I mentioned in the original thread, I owe a great deal of thanks to andreww for his comaraderie, encouragement and knowledge - and most importantly, his friendship...and of course, to our Mad Scientist, Mike, for his passion and skills in putting this all together - we've had a blast working together on it -- and while he knows his Breits, he still is clueless when it comes to rep versions I rattle off... You guys rock... This is a classic project of how well RWG works!... R-

I promise, A!...There was no way I was going to send Mike my ti CA!!!... So now that the gen CA dial is mounted on the Skyland movement, I can move it in out of the various cases... oh yeah - don't ya like how the factory got the blue of the Skyland hands pretty darn close to the gen blue CA dial color!...sweet!... R-

wishful thinking on it ever going FS... that gen dial is friggin awesome...oh - did i say gen?!...

man - sure would be nice if they repped the Olympus...
