You mean you want to do a dial swap?

It should be possible, not done it myself, but I am sure someone here will be able to tell you any potential issues in terms of fit etc.

Hey,

Yes, it is possible to swap the dials over but unless you have all of the correct tools, knowledge and a spare set of hands, I would not attempt it. If you know a local watch smith defer to him for sure.

Obtaining the dial will be hard. Ask Andrew (Trusty) but I doubt he'll be able to supply just the dial.

Personally as an Ice Bang fan I wouldn't bother. The V6 numerical dial Ice Bang has a lot of flaws that imho make it an average rep. Where as the version you already have (with batton markers is much better and closer to the gen).

In terms of accuracy you are better saving your money and sticking with the version you have.

(Also, remember that if you swap the numerical dial into the evolution case that you have it will still be matte ceramic and not polished and will therefore be a fantasy model at best...)

Depends what you want. If you want a numerical dial Ice bang as close to the gen as possible try to source a V1 rather than the V6 - it's a much better rep.

Hope that helps you out?
