danza1812 Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 Well I can consider this complete now. Crystal for me was the best mod. It's just a shame the AR coating isn't a little more robust. Gen bracelet finishes off my franken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
If you see Kay Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 how does Chiefs or Taka's AR compare to the gen crystal. I had a Chief and a Taka AR done on another watch, but wondering if I should get an AR coat or just splurge on a gen crystal. Eventually I'd like to get dial and bezel mod too, but firstly is the dial swap then the crystal mod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbutlerman Posted March 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 Congrats Matt! Now we really have twins I am wearing mine today too, btw. @If you see Kay - The gen has a totally different hugh. I had a chief's on mine and while it looked really good, this one look better. I don't know if it's the quality of the crystal itself or what, but, it does make a big difference, even when compared with a Chief's AR job...

watcher Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 That looks very sweet. I have just begun modding my 5th generation 42PO today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danza1812 Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 Hey Db2 have you considered doing the he valve? I can't help feeling that's the only tell now, but I'm not sure if I'm losing perspective and becoming a little obsessed!! One more on the wrist today.

dbutlerman Posted March 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 Probably becoming a little obsessed. As far as I know there is no big different between rep and gen he valves... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watcher Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 Here is a pic of the gen He valve I have just fitted to my 5th gen 42. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbutlerman Posted March 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 Thanks watcher! Apparently there is a difference. Crap! Another on the todo list... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watcher Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 Sorry ! I don't think the 4th gen is too bad but it is bloody awful on the 5th gen and it had to go!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryaku Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 Agreed, I'll try to replace it with a hv from a 45mm UPO. I have to admit the gen bezel makes a huge difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
