Gen parts on Rep Sea Dweller?

[raywj]

Hello all,

I have a rep 116660 sea dweller that I have an opportunity to put gen parts on. I have a friend that has a gen face, date wheel, hands, bracelet, crown, etc. Is it possible that these things will fit on a rep? This will be the first time I am trying this, so I don't know if I need to mod anything for fit.

Thanks

It depends on what your base watch is and which dealer you bought it from, in regards to most of the parts you stated.

The dial feet will need to be cut, there is a good tutorial on how to do this on yuki's site, a rolex date wheel is not interchangeable with an eta movement and neither are the hands.

I've never done anything to a deep sea, but I can confidently say that the hands and datewheel won't work. Unless, of course, you have a gen movement.

The rest of the parts I have no clue.

Thanks for the responses,

I guess the only thing to do is open it up and see. I don't have access to a gen movement, but maybe a clone would work.....
