  1. Sorry dude... the gen movement doesn't work with the rep dial. (cyclops!)
  2. Well....this is not what I wanted to hear but thanks anyway! Cheers, Sander PS: you have my shipping address right?
  3. Thanks man! The outer subdial is actually metallic silver. It took me about 5 times to find the right silver paint. The subdail hands are painted white and turned out as I hoped they would. Just like the centre seconds hand, I wanted to have them polished but when I removed the paint the hands are just too small to polish them. So the white paint worked well. I also painted to centre seconds hand to match the subdial hands but for some reason I didn't liked it.
  4. The FER004 didn't get much wrist time because I think it's kinda boring. I have tried to sell it but that also didn't work so what else can you do with it? What did I do to transform the standard FER004 into the PVD one: PVD'd the case and buckle Removed the paint and polished the centre seconds hand Painted the chrono hands Painted the sub dial rings Relumed the hands Lumed the dial and crown Chiefs AR I think it's much better looking now.
  5. Materpiece Raymond! You'll probably keep it the rest of your live.
  6. Gen dial, strap and buckle. Chiefs AR.
  7. Its a very nice watch indeed. The only question I have is why did you buy it? I
  8. No, nothing beats a gen one
  9. Although the standard AR on the V3 is really good, I would always give it to Chief for a new coating. I'll post some pics as soon as my crystal is back.
  10. The V3 dial is actually very very dark grey, just like the gen. The funny thing is that it appears to be a little brown under the standard AR. I have the gen dial and also this one seems to be brown under the crystal. This is not the case when you hold the dial in you hand so for some reason the blue crystal makes it brown Just waiting for a AR
  11. I'm a little confused.... If I'm not mistaken, the 40mm doesn't exist in the old model. you have the 5066 which is 36mm and the 5065 which is 38mm the newer model is 5165 for the 38mm and 5167 for the 40mm. can someone please correct me or confirm this? I'm really getting to like this one but I want a gen strap for it. if the 38mm doesn't exist, it would be pretty tough to get one
  12. I'm sorry to hear your story. Hope you'll get them back savely and in good working condition. As B16a2 mentioned, recording to Ziggmeister it is a pretty good movement if it's serviced. Mine is still running though (for about half a year now) without a problem. Good luck man!
  13. Great looking watch man The AR en DW fix would be a huge improvement though. Maybe also ad a gen crown
  14. Fu..ed up a new gen panerai croc strap. I don
  15. The gen movement doesn't take the rep hands. you have to change gears or get gen hands of course.
  16. oh man, that's another $650,-.... how do I explane this at home?
  17. Too bad, until now I had the excuse that it was too big for me. Now I'm getting really nervous. Can you make a side by side pic?
  18. He Mickey, Pics are great man. Really love it. If I remember well, you also have a 6.5
  19. I'm not really a breitling guy......but you project really inspired me to build one myself! Thanks for your time!
