Guest darthvinh Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 Hi All, Looking for someone in the USA to do a SA gen dial, gen bracelet, and gen bezel swap for me? What is the typical cost? -Vinh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMW760 Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 Why not send it to Smidsy in the UK ? Quick turn around and he does top of the line Breitling work ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest darthvinh Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 So I was informed by Andrew that they are out of the stencil dial in the v3, should I get a v2? pro's vs con's of v2 vs v3, with context that I am going to get gen parts and swap?

Speedman Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 Better xtal and caseback on V2, but better case and pushers on V3. The crown on the v2 strips easily, but the movement in the v3 is a ticking bomb Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HauteHippie Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 Haven't paid attention for a while, but what's the state of gen bezel swapping? Is there a reliable method for installing them tightly with full functionality? Last I checked, gen SA bezel fitment was imperfect at best.

Guest darthvinh Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 SMIDY from rwi can do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HauteHippie Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 So can I... but I can't make it reliably rattle-free on a V2. It's either too loose or too tight. Maybe V3 is a different story. Just curious what that story is. Edit: Now that I think about it, that was with a V1 (where the old rumor had gen bezel swapping foolproof). V2 - I wouldn't even attempt to get the rep bezel off without fear of marring the case. V3 - ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMW760 Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 V3 is the easiest of all. V2 is still a challenge. But like I posted earlier , Smidsy has had success doing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest darthvinh Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 (edited) anyone interested in the new rep PRO II bracelet? Took off 3 links to wear the watch for 15 min. My gen PRO II bracelet came in today and have no need for the rep PRO II. Honestly, I kinda wish I didn't buy the gen PRO II for 400$ Edited April 12, 2011 by darthvinh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually priced around $375-350 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
