jtiis Posted August 10, 2013 Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 I have a gen GMT IIc dial coming and will be installing it on the rep movement. What's going to be the process and should a noob (on mods) dare do such a thing? TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
concepta Posted August 10, 2013 Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 What kind of mov? I think you need to clip the feet... I did it a couple of years ago but can't remember :-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtiis Posted August 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 Standard rep mov in BP GMT IIc. Pretty sure will need to clip feet also. Not sure how hard that is. I regularly clip my nails... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irolexu Posted August 10, 2013 Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 You will have to clip the dial feet and file down the remaining a of the dial feet. After that you will need a dial ring to install on the backside of the dial so you can then mount it to the ETA. Also make sure the dial coming off the watch is the same diameter as the gen. Could be to small or to big Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmtlover Posted August 10, 2013 Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 Or just try a serviced yuki 3035.. Would be a shame cutting a gen dial Wait stupid answer.. Doesn't have GMT mod.. Sorry 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgtguk Posted August 11, 2013 Report Share Posted August 11, 2013 I've got very little experience modding watches but if your thinking of messing with a Gen dial clipping feet etc and have little experience yourself, you must have balls of steel my friend My advice for what it's worth, grab ya parts and head for a modder you can always practice on the rep dial after !

Agree 100%. high priced hard to find parts are not the stuff to learn on. One mistake, and your new expensive dial is ruined. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sgtguk Posted August 11, 2013 Report Share Posted August 11, 2013 I would agree with that sneed is definitely the man for the job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtiis Posted August 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2013 I'd love Snead but he said he's busy... Just checked sgtguk... Balls NOTmade of steel... Will use a modded or my smithy. Would prefer one of our guys... Other recommendations for TRUSTWORTHY CONUS folk? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irolexu Posted August 11, 2013 Report Share Posted August 11, 2013 Mymanmatt is perfect for high end builds. He's built my super reps, daily beater reps, serviced gens and much much more and is centered in CONUS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgtguk Posted August 11, 2013 Report Share Posted August 11, 2013 I don't blame you mate and yes mymanmatt I've seen some of his work but not asked him to work on mine as of yet, only heard great things though good luck with this one mate and keep us in the loop on the build too will be awesome I'm sure!

panerai153 Posted August 11, 2013 Report Share Posted August 11, 2013 Matt's a member here, you can PM him. Matt's done a bunch f watches for me, and I'm very, very happy with his work. Nice thing about Matt, he keeps in contact, and will give me a call and we can discuss problems, etc.He has a lot of contracts for parts and is able to procure things that most of us would have a hard time finding, at a reasonable price.

jonsydney Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 Another thumbs up for Matt. I sought him out for a franken DJ after seeing iRolex and other post here (or maybe it was RG). Stand up guy, no BS and good communication. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
