Wow! Some great pieces. Tried to pic a favorite to highlight but couldn't choose just one. These your shots Marty (ie: did you go)?

Hey Dutch. Share with me too please

What Asian movement is in the watch now? That will likely dictate which movement you can swap in.

Nice pair. I almost brought myself to get one of these on a few occasions but never did. Wish I had

Never seen a video add for Breitling before. Cute but a little lame at the same time I am pretty sure I would be late for the next "appointment".

Date wheel font is special for the SOH. But yours has it already so no need to change. The V1 came with a stock ETA so was not matching the gen.

That is freaking awesome! Both of them.

Very nice pickup. Getting hard to come by these days. Gen dial is possible but not necessary. Like maxman said a relume of the dial and hands goes a long way. See link in my sign below. As for movement it depends on what is under the hood and what you plan for the future. If it is a Swiss ETA then a service is in order. If a clone then you could service it or let it go until it dies and then replace it with ETA. No matter what you do enjoy that beautiful piece.

Looks pretty sharp. So does it have an inner and outer rotatable bezel? Nifty to have 2 24hr hands. Are they independent?

Very nice trio for sure. I don't wear my Seawolf as much as I should. Perhaps tomorrow

Wow. They really do not know how to effectively run a business. I do not know the ins and outs of movement/watch manufacture and sales but I cannot imagine it is significantly different than automobiles with which I am intimately familiar. To turn around and say "screw you" to all your existing and previous customers and leave them with no alternative is just insane. Can you imagine taking your car in to get fixed just to be told "Sorry, we cannot sell you parts. You will have to buy a new car from us instead." Oh well. Like already said, others will step up to fill the void.

Very cool. Thanks for the link.

Hot! It really makes the dial pop.

Normal. Although it fluctuates depending on the time, day, week, etc. Sometimes I start the day at normal and end up at loose.

Welcome to RWG! There is a plethora of knowledge here so I am sure you will find the direction and guidance you seek. As maxman said, you will be up to speed in no time. In fact it looks like you already are. You have started your search for a new PAM at the perfect time. The releases in the last few months have really stepped up a few levels. Almost can't go wrong now Have fun with your search and make sure to share your experience and results.

Hello hello! Welcome aboard.

Welcome and thanks for sharing with us. Great way to start your time with us here. I think your PO looks great. The centering of the pearl is excellent which used to be one of the more noticeable problems with the rep. I have the PoC with orange numerals on the dial and they too are on the red side. So normal I think. As for being called out, I think 99.9% of people would not be able to see it so no worries. Just enjoy.

That is gorgeous! Very promising.

I suppose I should have clarified my response better but it looks like you got your answer anyway

I think no. IIRC you need to disassemble the date wheel etc. Best to confirm via eta.ch procedure as I don't have it handy. P.S. that stem arrive yet?

Like Ronin said, it is not really worth going down the rep path for a gen that generally sells for a reasonable price. Also, like has been said on here many times before. If not shown as a trusted dealer section, they are not trusted. Stick to the list and you should be OK. Although, not sure if they sell the watch you are looking for.

Caliper?

Wow. You got that answer fast. I hope it was correct advice. Just to cover the bases perform the following. 1) While holding the crown tightly in one hand pull back the click from the ratchet wheel to allow the barrel to unload it's energy 2) Slowly release pressure from the crown and allow it to unwind....slowly...until all power is released 3) Remove bridge covering said pube 4) Remove offending pube 5) May as well clean the bridge and also pinion with some rodico while it is off 6) Re-assemble bridge 7) Lube where appropriate Steps 1 and 2 are key. If all power is not released from the barrel the movement will go kaploey when that bridge comes off and damage will ensue. Hope you get your pubes in order

Thanks R. Happy thanksgiving to you and all the fine members here.

Z you really need to work on your quoting my friend Almost couldn't see your response.
