Wowzers!!! Gorgeous

Gen dial, Taka Crystal, vac Lume hands. Might be my favorite watch of all time. The gen dial with the Taka Crystal is just an amazing combo

Funny, the thread for the $10,000 gold Apple watch happened to show up directly above this, who's dumb enough thread. Awww the irony.

Mine changes daily. Today, this

Aren't the new TC bezels really good and pretty much identical to gen? I know the old ones suck. I have one. :-( was thinking of upgrading to gen or at least his new one soooo....subscribed

^^^^ BTW, maybe this thread needs a warming now for 3717 owners cause if they read it, the'll never be able to stop staring at the triangle. Lol

Wow, can't believe you saw this and remember. Thanks for the watch!! I hope you're doing well and replaced it with something nice. :-) Buy the gen? Just so you know, I'm taking great care of it. I never noticed the triangle. Thank god. :-) Good to know there are people even more critical than me.

I've had a VAC modded (Lume dial, hands, and AR) for some time. Bought it M2M a year or so ago. It is definitely one of my favorite watches. The problem when something makes it to your favorites list is that you start to notice flaws even more. None of you out there with your beautiful 3717 builds helped the situation either. For some reason the VAC AR wasn't for me. It's very good but it has a blue tint, which I know is gen like, but just never seemed clear enough. I happen to be an AR freak and when it comes to AR for black dial watches, Taka is as good as anyone. At some point I picked up a Taka AR crystal from a split up M2M sale. It sat and sat. I finally pulled the trigger and bought the gen dial and it came today so it was project time. First off, check out the difference between the Taka (left) AR tint which is yellow/green and VAC (right) which is blue. When the crystals are just sitting there the yellow/green looks worse to me but once assembled on a black dial watch, the crystal completely vanished. It's soooo good. Next was a dial swap. I must say the gen (left) dial really doesn't seem to be much different at all. Other than the flat Lume markers, it's really hard to tell the difference. This is in contrast to Gen Omega dials that make the rep Omega dials look like a turd when you compare them. Next was assembly. Gen on the right now: Finally finished. I couldn't be happier with the way it turned out. The gen dial with the Taka crystal is just stunning. One of my favorite all time watches.

^^^ I'd never wear that buckle but I do love it. Very cool

That's an order of magnitude better than a 16800

Swap it with a TC movement. They come with the H4 already installed for about $100. Problem solved. As to the answer to your question...not sure.

Wow, that is modded. Almost can't recognize it. Gasket coming.

Hey guys, like many of us I own the classic seiko 007. The bezel became really hard to turn so I got a new gasket for it. Simple swap and she turns like butter now. I had to order a few so I have at least three spares, which I'm giving away to anyone who needs one. All you have to do is post a picture of your watch in this thread and shoot me a PM with your address and I will put it in the mail. Sorry, this is CONUS only. Also, please actually need one don't just take one because you have the watch and want a spare. May the force be with you!
