ryaku Posted August 18, 2007 Report Share Posted August 18, 2007 Finally i did my first transplant. Genuine dial and date/date wheels. Frankly it hasn't been so easily (if you are messy like i am it's a miracle not to lose anything) and a couple of times i thought to give up and throw that damn replica away. But satisfaction is huge at the end. I'll let the pics do the talk, though my photo skills are crappy as usual. Thanks to all those guys helped me with tutorials and private messages (special mention to Pugwash and Rbj69 and The Zigmeister of course). By the way, replica dial is very accurate, few and minor flaws except for the shiny subdials. In genuine dial subdials are not that shiny and it's pretty evident in the flesh. Is it worth getting a genuine dial? If you love this watch, yes, definitely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pugwash Posted August 18, 2007 Report Share Posted August 18, 2007 The Zigmeister did mine, but I'm nearly brave enough to change the datewheels on mine too. Nice work and great watch. Damn, the wheels help even more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
