beano2004 Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 Can someone please confirm if the first generation of Eddie Lees 196 dials that came with the asian 7750 were interchangeable with the 7753 movement? I always thought that the 7750 dials were different than the 7753 as the date window does not align properly? Thanks bean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sql_pl Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 They are definately not interchangeable. 7750 Daylight has a bit smaller and tiny little bit differently located date window. It won't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coolfire Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 They are definately not interchangeable. 7750 Daylight has a bit smaller and tiny little bit differently located date window. It won't work. Does this mean that only the present 196 dials will work with a 7753? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
promotersf Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 My old case 196 came with a swiss movement from EL that way, maybe a question to The Zigmeister since he owns my old 196. I don't think it swapable though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK471 Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 You know what might fit? A swiss 7753 and a gen dial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beano2004 Posted February 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 what i was not sure was did EL have one dial made for both the 7750 and the 7753 movements? I know the difference of the new dials and i know they will not fit due to the date window . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dluddy Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 I'm pretty confident Kruzer figured out that you need the 7753 Dial... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beano2004 Posted February 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 Im sure Kruzer can sort this out he is the resident expert when it comes to Panerai especially the 196. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWG Technical Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 Not interchangeable, the 7753 DW has a larger diameter than the 7750...you need a new 7753 dial to match the DW placement. RG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beano2004 Posted February 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 The Zigmeister, Thanks for the confirmation i was not 100% sure and i was in the process of buying a el version and i was not sure. Much appreciation. beano Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babola Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 Yup correct, and I learned this the hard way, although a long time ago now :-( The frustration was so high that I pulled a trigger on peepshow's (originaly owned by 'lovepanerai') 196 with ETA7753, modded by The Zigmeister. Well, live and learn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
