dluddy Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 Well, I'm afraid you are in for a challenge. First off, the Gen hands will not work on an ETA movement. Second, you need to find a Rep Explorer II that was manufactured in 2006. This is the only one that had the correct dimensions to accept the Gen dial. I know, because I tried them all and ended up finding the old Trusty model in order to complete mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

its_urabus Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 hmm, well, let me know if you are going to sell. The noob factory expII can take a gen crystal, and the one dluddy speaks of can take a gen dial. My expII has a gen tube and crown, the rep tube will not take a gen on any. my chs movement came from a non noob expII. it needs new hands, as mine are not very good.

alligoat Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 Here's By-Tors review of the white dialed ExpII: http://www.rwg.cc/members/Review-ROLEX-Explorer-t61210.html Like dluddy says, it's the old Explorer II case from the noob factory. The newer cases are too big for the gen dial, as I recall. Really a shame, I'd love to have a white dial with the correct black surrounds and an eta wrong handstack.

Ok, well that is very bad news gentlemen I still have a genuine black dial in my parts box and intended to build a franken. I know hands wouldn't fit an Eta but I thought the dial would fit the Noob. God, Concepta, it seems we're in the same bad boat Unless a nice member would sell us 2 watches from 2006 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
