docthor Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 Hey crew ,I was able to get me a SO abyss chrono and I love it.But...there is one thing I don't like.The bezel has squarish dots between 60 and 15 instead of the round dots like the gen.I'd like to change it with a gen bezel but don't know if the chrono is able to take gen parts...Sent with my wooden drums via Tupperware Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The original gen Abyss had the squarish dots and then the later releases of the gen Abyss has the rounded dots. So the look you have on your rep is in fact accurate to the original gen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docthor Posted August 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 Jaa...you made my day mate Indeed...I haven't done a proper research. I just googled some pics and saw that on all of them the dots are circles. With your hint I found some pics of early 2011 abyss chronos with squarrish dots, great.Now I only have to change the movement to swiss 7750 to make it my superrep Sent with my wooden drums via Tupperware Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may also need gen hands too. Unless your Asian 7750 has issues why change it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docthor Posted September 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 Rep hands will fit an ETA 7750...Domi did that swap for me two times before (IWC and TAG) and it wasn't a problem at all.The a7750 doesn't have a problem yet. But...reliability is very important for me and therefore I change (well...let Domi change) all movements on my reps for swiss ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kernow Posted December 29, 2015 Report Share Posted December 29, 2015 Have you any advice on where to find gen Breitling parts?Well, I'd start on eBay, then both rep and gen forums. Maybe also suppliers like Cousins and Otto Frei. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
