Thank you. Terrible. The beauty of the Mystery is its use of white space - large areas of blank or solid color space that allows the viewer's eye to rest while focusing its attention on the main design component/s.

Rounded rectangular @ 4mm x 6mm

I wore my Mystery today

With rep watches, it is impossible to say. Under normal circumstances (a gen watch that has been regularly serviced by a professional watchmaker), a year of idleness should not cause any problems. But much beyond that & the oils begin to dry out, which can cause problems. In either case, I would recommend having any important watches professionally serviced prior to your trip abroad. Then, upon your return, check your other (unserviced) watches to see if the crowns or hands are stiff when you try to rotate them. If so, have the watch serviced before something is damaged. Bon voyage.

The movement is also loose inside the case, so another reason to send it back. Of course, there is no guarantee that you will not have similar problems with the next 1. With reps, that is part of the game.

Most reps contain used/unserviced movements. Furthermore, the 'factories' that make them have little or no QC, which is why so many reps are DOA or fall apart soon thereafter. However, any higher-end rep that is used within its specs & professionally serviced every 5 years should last a lifetime.

When you unscrew the crown, the stem should automatically be in the winding position. Gently wind the crown about 40 turns & it should start. If not, the watch needs service. Either contact the seller or take it to a local rep-friendly watchmaker.

I could not agree more GMT for me today

Current retail on a new 93150 with your choice of endpieces (501B, 580 or 593) is $925.

I second the Acetimer recommendations.

Ditto.

Now, that is what I call a correct hand stack. Nice work, Laz.

As has already been said, replacing the dial is not financially realistic. Keep in mind, also, that if you do find a gen dial, you will either have to replace the ETA movement with a gen (& mod the case to fit) or modify the dial to fit the ETA.

Get well soon, Lani.

I make nails & romance the dead (technology & publishing).

Have a safe & happy summer Zig (& Jen), wherever you are.

Ending the work week wearing my beater As you can see, this evening I switched over to a dual time zone model from a brand that some of you may have heard of

A good, clear pic of the crown side of the case would answer the question. Click here, but note that these bezels are made to fit gen-sized cases (I have no idea whether it will fit your rep case).

If you check the Collectors section, you will likely find what you seek. If not, I am sure that 1 or more of the collectors can source the model you want.
