Has anyone tried replacing dial in the Franck Muller Crazy Hours with gen dial?

Question to all FM fans - Will gen dial fit FM crazy hours rep?

[LordRasta]

I'm not into the FM's, but I'm almost sure someone was selling one that had been modded with a gen dial.

Check this thread, ajoesmith wouldn't sell it if it didn't work. For that price you better move FAST.

thanks for the lead!

i know that some have asian movements and it is not clear to me if they accept dial replacements. i think swiss mov should have no problem with it

I have replaced rep FM dials with genuine ones, but not on the crazy model, only on normal models. I can't remember the type, it was this one here.

beautiful work! Was this one with asian or swiss movement? Also, did you have to re-lume the dial?

This was a Swiss model, 2892 I think, I did the relume of the dial, scraped off the genuine lume which was in bad shape, and used Super Lume.

Depends on the model of the rep I'd guess. At a very minimum the dial feet will have to be cut off, since the OEM uses a modified 2892 and the rep uses the standard miyota copy. To fit the model 2852 size case (marked 5850 on the back of the CH rep) I believe the dial should measure 33.5 X 26 or there abouts. The Long"Island CH will not fit a gen dial--the rep case is 1mm too big.
