HauteHippie Posted November 29, 2006 Report Posted November 29, 2006 I think I remember someone saying they did do the Silix transplant, and someone obviously has done an OEM transplant. I wish they would post pics... I will post pics of a Silix transplant today.
HauteHippie Posted November 29, 2006 Report Posted November 29, 2006 1)correct date window shape I believe that the trapezoidal shape of the gen date window is so subtle that it is totally irrelevant. Here's a pic of a gen. You can hardly see the trapezoid blown up like this. At normal size on the wrist, forget it.
Craytonic Posted November 29, 2006 Report Posted November 29, 2006 I couldn't tell the difference in person.
flavor flav Posted December 24, 2006 Author Report Posted December 24, 2006 I couldn't tell the difference in person. me either.... what trapezoid? in person it looks the same.....i really can't tell.
TK471 Posted December 25, 2006 Report Posted December 25, 2006 It's possible just to find the crosses? Great watches, by the way.
zetterdawg Posted December 25, 2006 Report Posted December 25, 2006 I can't see any rep maker taking the time to cut a trapezoid or whatever shape the OEM uses on the window either. I think I remember someone saying they did do the Silix transplant, and someone obviously has done an OEM transplant. I wish they would post pics... that was me. I think I was the first to do this. the watch is perfect now. I love it. No pics right now, sorry!
HauteHippie Posted December 25, 2006 Report Posted December 25, 2006 The Zigmeister did a cross transplant on mine with a dial lume.... It makes all the difference. Now if I can ever find endlink screws for the damn thing I'll actually get to wear it!
HauteHippie Posted December 25, 2006 Report Posted December 25, 2006 Lumed and cross transplanted....
flavor flav Posted December 25, 2006 Author Report Posted December 25, 2006 Lumed and cross transplanted.... i've seen chieftang's in person and i can say the dial is amazing! i'm waiting for my dials to arrive so i can do the same.

bertieng Posted December 25, 2006 Report Posted December 25, 2006 Any idea how to get the cross off the dial intact? It is kind of fixed by glue on the legs on the back of the dial.
vaccum Posted December 27, 2006 Report Posted December 27, 2006 Beautifull watches....the pics are awsome!
HauteHippie Posted December 27, 2006 Report Posted December 27, 2006 Any idea how to get the cross off the dial intact? It is kind of fixed by glue on the legs on the back of the dial. Yea, you gently pry up on the legs and snip them off. Once you have the cross extracted, flatten it back out and glue it directly to the new dial.
