HauteHippie Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HauteHippie Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TK471 Posted December 25, 2006 Report Share Posted December 25, 2006 It's possible just to find the crosses? Great watches, by the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zetterdawg Posted December 25, 2006 Report Share 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HauteHippie Posted December 25, 2006 Report Share 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bertieng Posted December 25, 2006 Report Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
