s.dupere Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 Hi, I have a BLUE sosf on the way, ETA. Im worried since I ordered it because of the color. I really hesitated between black and blue, and I got the blue. I wanted to get a black rubber strap, so I dont think blue dial will fit. (and sorry, a blue rubber strap is NOT nice, IMHO) If I buy the asian one in Black, is it easy to switch the dial to get the black one on my ETA? will it fit? Anybody want to trade a blue SOSF (I havent received it yet) against a black? ETA and perfect condition! Hehe, so much stress and I haven't even see that blue dial watch! I don't want to get both colors because who would get 2 2000$ watches of exactly the same model but different colors? Screams FAKE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

s.dupere Posted September 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 I think the blue dial is better on ss. I dont know, I cant see myself wearing a blue rubber strap. Black with black, james bond style, is so classier. I will probably get my watch tommorow, so Ill judge then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cypher Posted September 6, 2007 Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 I think blue on blue is sportier where as black on white is classier. But hey, thats just me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omega Posted September 6, 2007 Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 You can't fit a dial from ETA to Asia or the other way around! It is possible, but you must take the feets from dial off, and glue it (like kanone). Or you are so professional, and solder new feets in right position!

Pugwash Posted September 6, 2007 Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 If I buy the asian one in Black, is it easy to switch the dial to get the black one on my ETA? How handy are you with removing and replacing hands and dials? If you're determined to do this but you've had no watchsmithing experience, you'd be better off taking the entire movement/hands/dial from the Asian and putting them in the fancy ETA case.

But finaly, I love the blue dial. It looks amazing... I though it was more light blue... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rafib Posted September 8, 2007 Report Share Posted September 8, 2007 so nobody knows if i can change the dial... I don't know about the technical issue of the dial changing, but I had the same dillema a few weeks ago between blue and black sosf, and finally I decided (with the help of some friends from to this forum) to go for the black. I received id about two weeks ago, and I can't take it off my wrist (although I have also a BCE and some others). Because of the A\R it looks blue or black or dark grey depending on the light or angle that you look at it. But I saw the gen blue in an AD and if the rep looks the same I think it is very nice too, and probably also "change colours" because of the A\R, so if I were you I would'nt bother with all this mess of changing dials etc. If you did not receive the watch maybe you can ask your dealer if he minds to replace it with a black dial watch (probably all shippings on your expense), but i think you will be happy with the blue dial too. If you try to replace dial with Asian watch you will end spending more money and damaging this beautiful peace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
