monkeynutsack Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 (edited) Will a Bentley Motors T gen dial fit the rep case experts? If not, what would it take? Trimming the dial? What type of movement would fit the gen dial & rep case? I found a dial for sale. Fingers still crossed...

I don't think a gen dial is worth the swap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watchmeister Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 I wonder if it is a stock ETA movement. That might solve the recessed date problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yodap Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 It won't fit. 100% sure. The gen uses ETA2892-2 + DD chrono module on top of it, which means the pushers and crown are not inline. On the rep, they are. Gen dial will fit only the gen movement, and the gen movement won't fit the rep case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 Great info. I had never looked at the Bentley T. I didn't know Breitling had a 2892 based chrono. In that case yodap is 100% right. Rep dial won't match up with the movement and you would have to do the same kind of alterations required on the Ap's which means you are looking at a $2-3k franken of a watch you can probably buy for $6,000 used.

I also got a chance to get a genuine Bentley GT day date wheel. I heard that the teeth are not the same and it would take some modding to fit in rep bentley gt A7750. Do you or any modders know if this is actually a possibility? thanks for the input fellaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yodap Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 That should fit without any mods imo. Gen is a top grade ETA7750, which's day-date wheels are fully compatible with the A7750. I could be wrong though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andreww Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 Guys have been transplanting gen day/date wheels in to A7750s for years. I don't see how there could be a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
