concepta Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 116710 GMTIIC ..can a gen dial be fitted? Anybody tried?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 I doubt anyone has tried mainly because it's too new a model. But the good news is, things have been getting better over the last 2-3 years. It used to big that rep dials were about 1mm bigger than gen dials. And a gen dial was too small for the rep case. But lately things have gotten closer to gen sizes- for subs we're even to the point where gen parts can be used. Maybe if someone has a GMTIIC rep, they could uncase it and measure the dial for you and then you could compare w/ the gen dial. The other good news is that date windows are in the correct position more often these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
concepta Posted November 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 Anyone have a spare GMTIIC dial that can be of assistance?? Need measurements Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elepaolo Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 (edited) Buddy, I'd keep the rep dial. It's one of the few rep dial that can't be distinguished from the gen (I know what I mean, believe me). I don't know if anybody ever had the chance to compare a GMTIIc rep with a gen (I did it): they are virtually undistinguishable, the only tell are the well known slight differences like the colour of the numbers in the bezel and the AR on cyclops.

elepaolo Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 ...but it is still a rep ;-) Yes mate, but even with a gen dial it's still a rep ... . If you want it to be perfect, look for a gen crystal instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know..but the modding is the fun of this hobby. Any idea where to get a gen crystal?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elepaolo Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 (edited) Sometimes a gen crystal pops up on TZ or on the Bay. Never seen a gen dial, unfortunately... Edited November 15, 2009 by elepaolo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
