PeteM Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 Hi Does any one know if a 217 gen dial and hands will fit a DSN SWISS H MOVT WITH DAGGER FUNCTIONAL SWAN NECK Or indeed if a gen dial and hands for 000 will fit an Asian Swan neck? If not what if anything can be done to adapt it? Any help would be appreciated Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watchmeister Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 Unless I am missing something all gen dials and hands on the PAM hand winds will work with any 6497 movement (rep or gen) - whether on a 217 or 000. What you want to be careful of is whether the movement you are using has the correct bridge plates for a clear case back Destro. Remember the plates are reversed on a proper Destro movement. That is why there are so many fewer franken 217's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The next step would then be to find a correctly bridged movement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteM Posted January 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 Well I took the plunge and bought the Gen 217 dial and hands as the 000 dial I have is already pretty good in terms of correct logo tilt, markers thickness' etc much moreso than the 217 DSN dial is anyway. On waiting list for gen crystal though I do have an option on having one cut for me but thats only in synthetic. So in meantime I will get gen dial and hands fitted, get CG and lever modded I have a DSN and EL to play with and get crystal AR'd on inside with clear tint AR. I may be able to source a correctly laid out movement but thats a distant hope at the moment. But not to worried on the movement at moment as over here Brits are too polite to ask you to take your watch off unless of course your getting mugged!!
