LordRasta Posted November 23, 2007 Report Share Posted November 23, 2007 I'm not into the FM's, but I'm almost sure someone was selling one that had been modded with a gen dial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordRasta Posted November 23, 2007 Report Share Posted November 23, 2007 Check this thread, ajoesmith wouldn't sell it if it didn't work. For that price you better move FAST. http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showtopic=60339&hl= Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milsub5517 Posted November 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2007 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 Check this thread, ajoesmith wouldn't sell it if it didn't work.

RWG Technical Posted November 23, 2007 Report Share Posted November 23, 2007 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. RG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RWG Technical Posted November 23, 2007 Report Share Posted November 23, 2007 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.

archibald Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
