Rob1 Posted February 1, 2007 Report Posted February 1, 2007 Got a new Seamaster Pro recently, one of the new batch with the missing hour marker at the 3 o'clock position. I'd like to correct the the missing marker and wondered about replacing the rep dial with a gen dial. Does anyone know how much the gen dials are, where I could buy one and whether it is an easy swap? Is it a watchsmith-only job, or can an idiot like me do it? Many thanks for any help you can offer.

Bought a used one on ebay for $35. www.ofrei.com has them for $150 I think. i haven't swapped it out yet but they said any watchsmith could do it.

You didn't by chance get this from a seller in Australia did you? If so, PM me the item number, as I have a feeling you may have gotten screwed. Jim

For $35, I highly doubt that it's an OEM dial. When you get the dial - check the wave patterns (better than the rep) as well as the lume (way better than the rep).
nietzsche0904 Posted February 4, 2007 Report Posted February 4, 2007 Do the SMPs accept retrofitted parts?
