chad Posted October 6, 2010 Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 I decided to swap my slightly scuffed gen dial and new gen hands I just received in the mail into my panda with killed 6 and chief AR. I do not have the tools to do repairs yet..... (been thinking about learning for years) So i had a recommendation here on 47th St in NYC that I had fix a stem on a sinn and did ok work. I needed my aquatimer date wheel reset so I figured I would test them with this repair. The gen hands did not fit, i should have checked but I remember a time when you bought gen parts from people and they let you know what as what with compatibility. Oh well, my fault. So I am left with a silver handed blue dial. I am kinda liking it. I can never tell in person with various reflections which gen is which so getting called it is not likely. The dial also looks just fine with the naked eye which I am pleased with. The rep dial does have a funny lacquer on it after seeing this one in. What do you guys think? Leave it? The bad part of the story is even with a warning the guys at the shop scratched the ar coating badly. It is not visible to the naked eye and only under a loupe but still it is such a shame that no one takes price in there work anymore here in NYC. Never take for granted the people who do good work here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sander Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 Could be nice if you put a blue strap on it. If I look at the hands, I'm not sure if they are gen. If they fit without any moddification, you can be sure they are rep. (gen has different size hand tubes) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
