AlexBPM Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 Its not much... but let me know what you guys think. The v2's have been sold out so I was lucky to find one from a dealer. I'll post more later. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexBPM Posted June 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 I dont have very good vision so I wont be able to spot any small incorrect details, but I would like a second opinion before pulling the trigger. Thanks gents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
importr Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 I'm quite certain that the numbers and hands are supposed to be chromed but with a smoked finish? Certainly not matte black http://forums.watchuseek.com/attachments/f15/311198d1281207960-my-newest-aquisition-super-avenger-2009-12-17-11.09.27.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watch looks good IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
importr Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 Alex, do you have a pic from a different angle? To show reflection in the hands and numbers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dustindu4 Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 What's with the black spec on the dial below the logo at like 4 o clock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexBPM Posted June 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 Wow you guys are thorough. I'm obtaining more pictures shortly, but the numbers are definitely silver not black. Its difficult to get good angle and lighting apparently. As for the black speck, I hope thats just dust! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carzaddict Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 WOW thats a great find. its got the most accurate face (no bezel around the date window) where did you get this watch from? the only flaw i notice is the lume dot at 6 and 9, not centered. The subdials are a bit more yellowish/discolored. other than that its great, I want to grab the same one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HauteHippie Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 Looks like a V2. Why do you prefer the V2 over the V3? Either way, with a gen dial, you're good to go with this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexBPM Posted June 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 I wanted the v2 because of the 1:1 case and better AR. The consensus seems to be that the v2 will fit a gen dial and the v3 will not. Not to mention the crystal and bezel assembly is worse on the v3. The crystal is thinner and mounted in conjunction with the bezel. Yuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HauteHippie Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 Well there are many gen dialed V3s out there, but I didn't know about the crystal and bezel assembly on the v3. I like my two V2s for sure. They're keepers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexBPM Posted June 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 Wow chief you totally scored! Those are some gorgeous pieces. Now if I could only find a gen dial for under $200. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dustindu4 Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 As for the black speck, I hope thats just dust! I would ask instead of hoping. If that's on the dial or under the crystal, that's no good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HauteHippie Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 Wow chief you totally scored! Those are some gorgeous pieces. Now if I could only find a gen dial for under $200. Any ideas? I've got a blue small wings dial... but that might not be what you're looking for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexBPM Posted June 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 I've got a blue small wings dial... but that might not be what you're looking for. No but thanks. I'm looking for the same dial above. Gen white numbered dial, big wings would be nice. There are a few on ebay but I'm not going to pay $250, not to mention some of them look fake. Does anybody know any other sources for gen dials? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave123 Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 "concepta" here at RWG use to source gen Breit parts,maybe still does,pm him. Aside from that,diamondcastle on the bay.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HauteHippie Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 I've got half a mind to do a third SA with a white stencil dial... but they aint cheap. Go on EBay and make an offer to DiamondCastle for $199 on the dial you want. It can't hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexBPM Posted June 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 (edited) Go for it chief! I love the white stencil dials. And thanks for the tip Dave. You guys have been very helpful. I think I have I have my first franken project lined up for me. Edited June 16, 2011 by AlexBPM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
