cougaree Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 I think I'm going crazy with this watch style. I think with proper gen parts, the SOH makes great franken. The head without the strap is a project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mastrmindalliance Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 Nice one! I love my SOH. Which do you prefer to wear, the SOH or SOHC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cougaree Posted October 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 For now, it's my SOH. That is because I just got my SOHC yesterday and hesitate to used my brand new gen breitling mesh band. Everything on the SOHC is perfect except the crystal seems not installed perfectly. One side is slightly lower than the edge. Is it correctable with crystal reinstall? Do you know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krpster Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 What gen parts (aside from strap or bracelet) are you refering to to make a franken? I have not been able to find any for the SOH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bike Mike Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 Nice Wei! Love my SOHC! Love the retro style of this watch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cougaree Posted October 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 @Alleyoop, I bought mine from another member. They are hard to find with good prices. Very beautiful, but the downside is it makes you don't want to use it to make it less new @Krpster, I'm thinking of gen hands and gen dw, maybe gen dial. I agree they are very hard to find, but I remain optimistic. We'll see, I will let you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cougaree Posted October 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 Thanks Mike! Will wear it today on a gen leather band. The ocean racer came with the watch is nice but not really my style. I will probably use the mesh bracelet once I get the crystal fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cougaree Posted October 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 Does anyone know on the gen SOH or SOHC the crystal is above the outer rim or flush with the outer rim or just under the rim? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cougaree Posted October 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 Thanks for the pics Mike! If you were me, would you take the movement out and pop the crystal a little with crystal press from underneath? Frankly, I'm afraid to break the crystal.

buckeye Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 As an FYI...I bought one of the 24mm suppaparts mesh straps that people are buying for their Ploprops and fitted it to my SOH....perfect fit. I do have an extra clasp, so I'm gonna see how hard a project that is. But for $50 it's really nice and fits my 6.75" wrists! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
