Actually, I thought I read somewhere here on the forum that the word Chronometer was also missing in the early years of this model, '92 or so, on the automatics. That's why that didn't alarm me.

I paid $60. So, I can live with that, I'll drink a few less this month. In holland we call that learning-money.

BTW: I got it from an ebay seller called edelweiss. And now that I know of the short 3-marker, I can tell that his picture was an automatic dial and he send me a quartz. I feel so violated and dirty! Of course, he doesn't respond to my emails now. Let you know how it ends.

The hunt goes on for an auto dial!

Look @ datewheel position offset between the dials.

yes it's diffrent. So I can't use this? Seller said it was for automatic actually.

You do relalise the gen dial is for a quartz ?

No, I didn't. Ahh that is stupid of me! How can you tell?

Is there a watch there? O, right....

I wanna be that lollypop

nope...

I wouldn't say ugly.

Sure it's not accurate but after all you knew.

Just to be clear: the help I got on this quest was much appreceated!

Got me a black insert from Alpha Watch. To be honest: I think the pearl is freakin ugly. I surely won't use it. Decide for yourself:

Guys,

I got me a gen dial on ebay. It's unused, but certainly not new. I'd like to clean it up before I get it installed. I have no experience in this. I'm sure a few of you have. Any advice on cleaning methodes? Wich cleaning product, etc?

Thnx!

I'm working on a SMP Bond, in black. First, I bought a rep dial from Ryaku, who got a gen. But later on I decided to hunt for a gen dial too. I think it was a good decision...

I hope that is you arm we're looking at....

Look great Hannibal!

I love it when a plan comes together :-)

40mm, same as the old speedmaster date

Identical case as previous, wide subdials.... how hard can it be?

Love it! What kind of strap?

Yeah.. He sells aftermarket stuff. Members bought from him SMP Bond aftermarket bezels.

Is it any good?

Hi all,

I want to buy a set of hands for a smp bond. I saw this seller on ebay, he's much cheaper then the genuine hands from cousins and ofrei:

What do you guys think? Any good? Or is it like my old man says: buy cheap is buy twice...

hi FDG count me in for one too,,,,sent you a PM too.

Very good initiative FDG, this is how we profit from each other! Van A naar beter :-)

It's still in parts, i just received gen hands and crystal with Ar coating.

It's gonna be ready next week..hopefully.

exciting.. I'm still on the hunt for a gen dial. If I don't find it, I use yours..

So Ryaku, yours has a gen bezel then? And gen dial, correct? show us! :-)

HHAHAHA yes yes... damn it.

The diffrence is.. you know it's the real deal! Even though your reps can be superb, the days you wear your gen you grow 2 inches... nuff said.

Congrats on a beautiful watch!

Hey boneventura.. here you go. Hope its zoomed out enough

Very cool!

Hey G,

Can you post a more zoomed-out pic? Really wanna see the strap from a wider angle...
