marrickvilleboy Posted March 26, 2006 Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 yes its been done, quite a few members have done it. Ranging from putting in OEM 007 dial, to Standard SMP dial to GMT dial. dial feet are a little shorter on the OEM from what i've heard, some members had to use Double sided tape to make sure the dial stays on, but generally it should be fine.

mysql Posted March 26, 2006 Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 I thought about it, but the price I found for OEM bezel was $149 range, so I decided my $200 SMP didn't need one that badly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thealphabeta Posted March 26, 2006 Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 I'll be looking to add teh OEM dial in future but only if the price is right! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
takashi Posted March 26, 2006 Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 I can confirm this: Genuine Seamaster Pro dial will fit ETA2824 nicely. no need to double sided tape it. I have done this on my 4th gen Orange PO. Changed the dial to 007 to make this a fantasy watch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsph Posted March 26, 2006 Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 hi guys, yes, i've come up to the same problem -- it almost doesn't seem worth it to get a genuine dial that costs exactly half of the rep watch itself. also, the particular watch i like (2254.50) has a very well done dial, it seems, so the only reason to switch to the gen dial is, well, the lume. no other reason. now, i am a lume fanatic, but the gen dial just seems to cost too much. i wonder how much a re-luming is, though (eg, palpatine). i know some people have had success getting dials and things off ebay, but i haven't taken the plunge due to not being sure of what i'm getting. jsph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
