I prefer the look of the big date, but the 7750 requires heavy mods to run it. These watches have pretty lousy reliability track records-similar to the Daytona sec@6. Servicing this movement with these mods is also expensive. For these reasons, I would go with the 12-9-6 layout which is the standard 7750 application and makes that version about as reliable as an A7750 gets.

I would keep the V2. It has a better case with correct HE valve and a better crown. Breitlings are known for their AR coatings and "disappearing" crystals. The AR on the V2, while not completely Gen like is still pretty darn good and the absence of the AR is very noticeable. The bezel is also better on the V3.
The are Paris and cons to both dials, but I would not decide to keep or sell one of these watches based on the dial alone. As you pointed out, Gen dials are regularly available for ~$250.00. You can always swap out the dial for Gen which will be infinitely better than either rep dial. The case, however, can't be so easily sourced unless you buy the Gen. So, in short, keep the best watch with the best case and swap the dial down the road if it really bothers you. I would probably keep the ETA movement from the V1 though... particularly if you plan to mod this watch with a Gen dial at any point down the road.

Great looking watch By-Tor. I tried to buy one myself a couple of months ago, but alas they are out of production.
