ubiquitous Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 T'is very nice, but unfortunately wll not fit a rep 116520- The dial feet will not line up (of course), but a 7750's center hour/minute pinion will not fit the center hole either.

freddy333 Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 T'is very nice, but unfortunately wll not fit a rep 116520- Sad, but true. On a more positive note, some collectors' current rep dials are so good that, even at that great price, there is no reason to go gen.

polexpete Posted October 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 Thanks guys, very interesting. But i was thinking for a donor El Primo in a Franken project like yours Ubi. Will this dial fit? Also Freddy which rep dials are close to the gen? Cheers P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sql_pl Posted October 17, 2008 Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 There is no use for such dial. I actually have a white 116520 gen dial. It does not fit rep because of the canon pinion diameter like ubi said and it does not fit el primero because of subdial location. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted October 17, 2008 Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 Unfortunately, the dial won't fit an El Primero The EP400/4030 has the Subdials configured differently- The subsidiaries are grouped closer together- The 4130 has the 9:00 and 3:00 subdials slightly raised above the center axis, and the subdials are spaced further apart: But it might fit nicely on one of those faux chrono versions with seconds at six and dummy hour/min counters (i.e. with those posts removed and hands affixed DW MM style). As for rep dials... I built this one for my Uncle, which had a pretty decent 116520 dial... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Freddy, can you please give us some .... example of such positivity (not with sec. at 6 7750, please)? Ah, and dealer, please! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, and dealer, please! click me Unfortunately, the reps I referenced came from sites which have since changed their names and/or URLs. The site referenced in Step 1 is Josh's & the site referenced in Step 2 was idolreplicas.com (idolreplicas used to be known as watch-ebay & continues to change names, but the content (& my caveats about them) remains the same).
