007omegafan 0 Posted October 20, 2012 I picked up a beautiful Omega Seamaster chrono from Mary and love it... but I decided to franken it and recently picked up two pieces from a mod on RWI. First we've got an authentic seamaster chrono bezel.. I'm really excited to have this put on I also picked up an authentic seamaster chrono dial My question regards the dial. Only after buying did I notice that the dial I bought is off the older style chrono. So, the extra lume markers at 6 and 9 along with the white lettering for seamaster (instead of red). But the subdial hands on my rep are red as is the seconds hand. So i have a few options : - put on the bezel and sell the real deal dial - put on the bezel and real deal dial and leave the red subdial and seconds hand - put on the bezel and buy/install real deal white subdial and seconds hands (another 20 or so bucks). The other issue to keep in mind is that the older chronos had a different caseback than the new one (like mine). Any thoughts? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SliceMaster 281 Posted October 20, 2012 Honestly neither of them look any good But since Im such a nice guy you just send them too me and I´ll take good care of them...might even put in some cash not much but... Just kidding mate, wish I would have seen that sell before you, but if you consider selling the dial let me know asap ok Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Pap 0 Posted October 20, 2012 I will chime in since i am the responsible of this incoming project :P the old style dial has also red subdial hands And to help you more with your decision this is how mine looks. Almost done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
007omegafan 0 Posted October 20, 2012 (edited) Oh NICE i didn't know they offered it like that. Do you know if they offered it with the white dial, red hands, and this caseback? Edited October 20, 2012 by 007omegafan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Pap 0 Posted October 20, 2012 Yes, mine has that case back. As for the white dial i think the factories are offering only blue and black. If you want a white one you must get a gen... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
007omegafan 0 Posted October 20, 2012 (edited) Pap yours looks so nice I think I'll have to do the install Guess it's time to order the gen date wheel And my bad.. I meant do you think the factories sent out the blue dial with white seamaster lettering, red hands, and the caseback i posted Edited October 20, 2012 by 007omegafan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Pap 0 Posted October 20, 2012 Hmm, white lettering one? Nop, i don't think so, at least as long as i am around i remember they deliver the one with the raised logo and red lettering. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jcagara08 31 Posted October 20, 2012 IMO the just remove the rep insert and replace with the insert from the gen bezel you bought which looks to be from the titanium version cause it looks a little darker (ref model # 2298.80.00) mind you and put on the Gen dial, replace the rep dial (Cause rep lume sure sucks), I would stick or mod the sub dial hand to make it look longer and because you will have the old model look, maybe orange is better than red color on the subdials.. don't mind the caseback, no one will see it for sure. Just my 2 cents. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
007omegafan 0 Posted October 20, 2012 (edited) This gen looks good.. i suppose this is what it would look like Edited October 20, 2012 by 007omegafan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The AR definitely sucks balls.. I noticed it immediately because I got this shortly after receiving my 42 PO from Mary (the ar on that is much nicer). I wonder if anyone int he US can do the ar job?
