HauteHippie Posted September 1, 2008 Report Posted September 1, 2008 Another project coming together...
Guest carlsbadrolex Posted September 1, 2008 Report Posted September 1, 2008 Un, yeah... Cant wait to see that one done!!! I dont care how much anyone yells about the rep Breitling dials... There is NO dial like a GEN!
UB7 Posted September 1, 2008 Report Posted September 1, 2008 (edited) Wow!! Looks amazing, is that a gen b13?? Be sure to post pictures when it's completed. I've never taken apart my gen skyland or evo in fear that it will mess up the water resistance but its good to see that I have a beautifully finished movement waiting inside. Btw, someone on breitlingsource has about 10 dials of all different colors - may be a good opportunity to pick a few more up i'm sure people here would be all over it. Those old bigwings dials are so much nicer than the new stick dials IMO Edited September 1, 2008 by UB7
concepta Posted September 1, 2008 Report Posted September 1, 2008 U got the movement on Ebay? I was in that auction ;-)
ravishingrick Posted September 1, 2008 Report Posted September 1, 2008 Wow... That is going to be one sweet watch!
Dario33 Posted September 1, 2008 Report Posted September 1, 2008 Beautiful parts -- looking forward to seeing the final product.
HauteHippie Posted September 1, 2008 Author Report Posted September 1, 2008 U got the movement on Ebay? I was in that auction ;-) Yep. It just ended today, actually. And considering that the price of a generic 7750 + Lello DW is as much or more than the closing price of this auction.... I have to consider it a great deal for a gen Breitling movement and date wheel.

llsteve80 Posted September 1, 2008 Report Posted September 1, 2008 I was watching that one too. Chief, do you have a snipe program? I really want one but there's so many.
importr Posted September 1, 2008 Report Posted September 1, 2008 Wooowwww! Those gen bits look perfect! I am really looking forward to seeing this, Chief!
cskent69 Posted September 1, 2008 Report Posted September 1, 2008 Another project coming together... SO - you where the one I was fighting! Congrats! I wanted that one - but ran out of bank account.
ubiquitous Posted September 1, 2008 Report Posted September 1, 2008 This one is shaping up quite nicely! Looking forward to seeing the finished product, chief!
bwhitesox Posted September 2, 2008 Report Posted September 2, 2008 Chief Are you going to be using the new rep case SA for this franken.? The reason I ask is that the old case has a screw in crown and crowntube but I believe this movement has it's own internal screw in mechanism that does not use a threaded crown tube. The new rep case has a non threaded tube like the gen, Much better AR coated glass and the correct length hands although they may need Robs touch to fit them to this movement. Nice project my friend..Look forward to seeing this one finished.
paulw Posted September 2, 2008 Report Posted September 2, 2008 I can give you a good price on a non-branded gen ETA 7750 if you're interested. I might be interested in that Gen 7750 Chief. Just need to work out whether it will fit in my new Skyland without any issues.
