watchgal Posted April 6, 2010 Report Posted April 6, 2010 I've got a BCE incoming to fit all this too I ordered the pilot bracelet version as with this dial and the strap, it might be a bit much..but we'll wait and see Cool eh? :thumbsupsmileyanim:
watchgal Posted April 6, 2010 Author Report Posted April 6, 2010 Thanks Ken... should be a bit different for sure. Best part is the strap will also fit a 40mm Luminor, so its versatile in the 22mm size
FxrAndy Posted April 6, 2010 Report Posted April 6, 2010 Green? With envy i am sure a few people will be !
Agrippa Posted April 6, 2010 Report Posted April 6, 2010 No-one'll ever see me wearing a watch that red, but I'm certain it'll be very striking indeed. I'm really looking forward to seeing the finished article once you're done whoring it up though.
Navitimer Posted April 6, 2010 Report Posted April 6, 2010 Really curious about seeing it finished!!!
watchgal Posted April 6, 2010 Author Report Posted April 6, 2010 I'll post pics when it's finished. As I mentioned above, I think the strap might be too much.. the bracelet may win here. I also wouldnt mind picking up the Breitling rubber strap.. I think that would be a nice way to tone the dial down
opti Posted April 6, 2010 Report Posted April 6, 2010 wow cant wait to see the complete product Really digging that dial
watchgal Posted April 6, 2010 Author Report Posted April 6, 2010 I got the dial off Ebay if anyone is interested. There's a seller on there that has many B dials for sale. They had another red one the last time I looked.
hackR Posted April 7, 2010 Report Posted April 7, 2010 definitely don't see too many red dials - that's for sure... do you know for sure that the dial/rehaut is the same size for the rep BCE?...just wondering... i put a blue gen Chrono Avenger dial/rehaut into a v1 Chrono Avenger case and it fit perfectly...sometimes with diff crystal thicknesses - the gen leaves a small gap...i have a 0.5mm or so gap on my v1 ti Seawolf - and that's with the gen dial and rep rehaut - rep rehaut is taller than gen rehaut, too...it may sound small - but the gap bugs me... R-
Bike Mike Posted April 7, 2010 Report Posted April 7, 2010 i put a blue gen Chrono Avenger dial/rehaut into a v1 Chrono Avenger case and it fit perfectly... R- YOU put what into what? Sorry buddy could not resist!
watchgal Posted April 7, 2010 Author Report Posted April 7, 2010 From the research I did and questions I asked of members that had done this swap - it fits straight in. If it doesnt fit, then you'll see a red gen dial for sale
P4GTR Posted April 7, 2010 Report Posted April 7, 2010 Looks good. I like it, just not sure I like it for myself. Whos the bay seller?
watchgal Posted April 10, 2010 Author Report Posted April 10, 2010 The seller is 'thediamondcastle' they have a black one for sale now. From the tracking, I should have the watch on Monday.. and might have the dial in by late next week. So I'll update this post with pics when it arrives.
watchgal Posted April 12, 2010 Author Report Posted April 12, 2010 The BCE arrived today. It will be interesting to see how the red dial looks with the tint of the AR being purplish/blue on the crystal
cougaree Posted April 12, 2010 Report Posted April 12, 2010 I bought a black dial from them. It's very nice. I'm in middle of getting my v2 BCE modded also. Good luck to both us I guess FYI, thediamondcastle currently has black, gray, blue and red dial for sale.

Good luck to both us I guess FYI, thediamondcastle currently has black, gray, blue and red dial for sale. Are you doing any other mods as well as the dial? How could one sort out the crystal AR to make it look less ahhh tinted? Good luck to us!
cougaree Posted April 12, 2010 Report Posted April 12, 2010 I actually care less about the AR, but I wonder removal of the outer AR would help anything. Both of my v2 BCEs don't have very strong tint on the crystal. As for my modding project goes, I will also be installing a gen bezel, tabs and maybe crown if it fits. The hands on my will be relumed to match the gen dial. I'm even thinking about swap out the Asian 7750 movement for a Swiss one, but maybe that's something I will have to do later because the A7750 movement just got serviced. Please keep us updated on how yours is going!
chronoluvvv Posted April 12, 2010 Report Posted April 12, 2010 i'd totally RAWK that red-hot combo heck i'm tempted to even go green based on the same idea
Bike Mike Posted April 12, 2010 Report Posted April 12, 2010 i'd totally RAWK that red-hot combo heck i'm tempted to even go green based on the same idea Do it! Been thinking about doing a Bentley GT just for the green combination as it is pure racecar inspired!
watchgal Posted April 13, 2010 Author Report Posted April 13, 2010 Do it! Been thinking about doing a Bentley GT just for the green combination as it is pure racecar inspired! Red goes faster tho! :victory:
