Omega Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 ... I am just waiting for my double AR crystal from K2222! Today I got my movement from my watchsmith - serviced and regulated. I mount the dial and hands on the movement, and I replaced the logo from a silix-dial on a Ultimate from Andrew, here the result: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omega Posted November 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 Looking good! With the AR'd crystal your on to a winner there! Thanks, the only thing that disturbs me is the lume! But one day... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b16a2 Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 Yes, however, for a short period I found the UPO does shine ok, it's just over the longer time period when you notice the lack of longevity. Im waiting to get mine back, its geeting the AR, full relume, and the little feet chopped form the symbol, cant wait Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viennawatch Posted November 3, 2007 Report Share Posted November 3, 2007 (edited) This is sweet! I swear, Im becoming the biggest hypocrite! I comment on posts about how modding is too much and that you might as well buy a gen, but when I see all these pictures and read all the comments about the modding and servicing steps, I just can't resist. I think i will go full length with the PO... Edited November 4, 2007 by Viennawatch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fitmic Posted November 3, 2007 Report Share Posted November 3, 2007 How did you remove and replace the logo? Was it hard to do? What kind of adhesive did you use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeroen1985 Posted November 10, 2007 Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 Please tell us how you changed the logo!! Maybe a little How-to???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted November 10, 2007 Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 I recon that silix should sorce a load of dials and sell them just so that people can nick the logo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega Posted November 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 Sorry for the late answer... 1. Push the logo from backside with a needle out, the feet are glued. The holes for the feed are in same distance from each other, on both dials (Silix and UPO). So you can replace them without problems. 2. Put a drop of glue on the feet again from backside. BTW: You need a 10X lens, minimum! Don't start the job without, you can easily do scraches on the dial! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LegendofSpeed Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 i got two silix dials (one for chinkie and one for me) and i was wondering how it would actually work... i think i shall let The Zigmeister have fun with that when it goes to him for the re-lume and all that....

Omega Posted November 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 That's the result, very cheap but powerful solution: (BTW: I used a new ultimate dial, the markers are brighter) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I should ? Cheers Stephane I was very impatient before I started to collect and mod reps. Even on movements I am doing now little repairs! It'a relaxative hobby... Trust yourself!
