vlydog Posted August 13, 2008 Report Posted August 13, 2008 Tracking comfirms a delivery today for my V2 graphite. For all of those who are enjoying wrist time currently, do you have any modifications planned? Question: Would a movement swap for a swiss 7750 require a new datewheel?

For all of those who are enjoying wrist time currently, do you have any modifications planned? Question: Would a movement swap for a swiss 7750 require a new datewheel? Yes, for the Breitling font - in theory the rep DW should go straight into the ETA no probs - though I dont think anyone has measured the thicknesses of the 2 yet???
Mickey Padge Posted August 13, 2008 Report Posted August 13, 2008 This watch does not really need anything doing to it.... Maybe service the A7750 movement and superlume/relume the dots/hands?..... Cheers!
rckh Posted August 13, 2008 Report Posted August 13, 2008 My skyland already powered by ETA7750. Still consider to send it to relume... check my signature for photos! Best Regards, raymond
b16a2 Posted August 13, 2008 Report Posted August 13, 2008 The Skyland doesn't really require any mods to make it more accurate. A re-lume is the only thing I can think of.
HauteHippie Posted August 13, 2008 Report Posted August 13, 2008 Yes, for the Breitling font - in theory the rep DW should go straight into the ETA no probs - though I dont think anyone has measured the thicknesses of the 2 yet??? So the Breitling font is printed directly to the date wheel, and not on an overlay that is attached to the DW?
Dani Posted August 13, 2008 Report Posted August 13, 2008 i will fix the lume dots, relume it and service the movement or not me but the master will i hope.
italiano17771 Posted August 14, 2008 Report Posted August 14, 2008 i would suggest a genuine pro II bracelet. the rep is done extremely well, although the bracelet is nothing like a genuine breit bracelet. i put my genuine pro II on mine and it feels like im wearing my gen. i also ordered the pro II for my super avenger as well.
dylan Posted August 14, 2008 Report Posted August 14, 2008 nah...no mods here...i'm going to swap out the bracelet for a strap and thats about it.... nothing about this watch screams 'fix me'...sure the lume dots are off....but hard to tell on the wrist... the thing about previous breit reps that irked me are pretty good on this puppy...pearl..bezel..datefont... i'm good to go!
importr Posted August 14, 2008 Report Posted August 14, 2008 So the Breitling font is printed directly to the date wheel, and not on an overlay that is attached to the DW? I'll admit, I'm guessing! LOL but logic would suggest that its printed directly onto the DW - as I doubt that "someone - somewhere" would do a perfect job everytime in applying such a decal?
fotoman Posted August 14, 2008 Report Posted August 14, 2008 hktan leather strap with rivets - not really a mod -
promotersf Posted August 14, 2008 Report Posted August 14, 2008 I got my grey dial from Angus and it's a very good rep, I have the Gen in Black Dial SS. The only thing I plan on doing is sending out to Rob to fix the lume dots and superlume when he's back in full effect. The Pro bracelet is nice, but I just picked up a Gen Black Ocean Racer rubber strap with deployment for this baby!
gilzy Posted August 15, 2008 Report Posted August 15, 2008 Halo, i also just purchased Skyland grey dial and i am thinking to get it relume. Where can i send the watch to relume and fix the lume dots? Any idea? What is his email? Maybe you can list all the names here. Thanks

gilzy Posted August 15, 2008 Report Posted August 15, 2008 When you say fix, what are referring to? He is referring to the lume dots that not aligned properly. When you look closely to the lume dots, you will know what i mean.
jkirke Posted August 15, 2008 Report Posted August 15, 2008 I'd like to eventually swap the movement for the ETA7750. Other than that, this'll be my first rep out for lume, just deciding on a modder. I'd also like to pick up the gen proII bracelet when i get the funds. other than that, i'm in no hurry to send it off any time soon. i't just about perfect the way she is. my only complaint is the bezel click. not as nice as my Blackbird from Ruby, but it'snot that bothersome. cheers all~
