ubiquitous Posted November 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 Finally got around to knocking this one out... Gen crown/tube installed and I also swapped my old chief AR'd crystal for a fresh, minty chief AR'd crystal that I had waiting in the ol' parts box. These additions compliment the gen dial, hands, Swiss 7750 and German day/date wheels nicely methinks. Looking at the project thus far, I reflect upon my prior statement made at the subject header and can only reiterate- It is indeed all about the little details! It takes living with the rep parts to appreciate the gen parts even more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HauteHippie Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 It sure does, doesn't it! The crown and tube is huge - as strange as that sounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modelizer Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 Nice R! Welcome to the gen 3717 crown/ tube club! It turned out to be a huge improvement, didn't it?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_rymeister Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 Very nice build mate,got my 3717 recently just trying to gather up a few parts to mod on it. what sort of money was the gen crown and tube? Cheers Ry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryaku Posted November 6, 2011 Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 Couldn't agree more..... for example I fall in love all the time for the seconds central hand. The rep hand is completely white whereas the gen hand has a silver tube. Love it!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelizer Posted November 6, 2011 Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 what sort of money was the gen crown and tube? If my memory serves me correctly, I think it was in the $100 region when I got my set few years ago. But you can always check the current rate with one of our "in house" providers..

the_rymeister Posted December 26, 2011 Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 Hi mate how is the gen tube fitted on the case? Does it thread in or is a case of removing rep tube and bonding gen on ? ive done a gen crown and tube mod on my upo 45 and bonded it on.Thinking of doing the mod on mine. Got the German eta day/date wheels and want to get a relume done like gen. Any advice would be great. Thanks in advance guys. Ry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
