boneyjr 1 Posted October 23, 2012 (edited) This just arrived in the mail yesterday, and it is already off to 10:10 Watch Repair for instillation. Along with it, I sent a gen bezel. Cannot wait for the finished product! I will be sure to post a full pic review when received. Edited October 23, 2012 by boneyjr Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

boneyjr 1 Posted October 23, 2012 Is there big difference between rep. dial and gen. one? Ask Chris to make the picture of both, near to each other, please. This isn't the best picture, but you will notice that the color is definitely off. Also, looking at it in person, you can tell right away that the font size and emblem on the gen are smaller than the rep. Also, underneath the word 'automatic' the '2000 M /' is spaced out more.

hnic 1 Posted October 23, 2012 great i always wanted to change the dial on my black sosfv2 the main tell for me is the S from Superocean can i ask how much you paid for it? Good luck and keep us posted Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
morris133 18 Posted November 26, 2012 Any progress on this Mod? I imagine the gen dial fits the rep case. I'm considering doing the same for my Blue dial SOSF. And the only place I've seen the gen dials offered is on ebay. Any other sources? Looking forward to seeing some before and after shots. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
10:10 Watch Repair 1 Posted November 26, 2012 Any progress on this Mod? I imagine the gen dial fits the rep case. I'm considering doing the same for my Blue dial SOSF. And the only place I've seen the gen dials offered is on ebay. Any other sources? Looking forward to seeing some before and after shots. The dial is fine. The gen bezel doesn't retrofit, the case would need to be milled differently to accept it. The color on the gen dial is a navy rather than royal blue and the lume is super bright.

hnic 1 Posted November 26, 2012 is it installed allready? cant wait to see the pics Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boneyjr 1 Posted December 12, 2012 There are still some minor mods to be completed before I consider this project done, but I wanted to throw some quick shots up so you can see the difference of the gen. It really has a beautiful navy blue color, and the lume is off the chart. Once again, a big thanks to Chris at 10:10 for all his continued outstanding work. and an older pic of the same watch for comparison: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DarkGlass 83 Posted December 12, 2012 You can certainly see the difference when looking at the two shots nice work ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boneyjr 1 Posted December 12, 2012 Oh, I also forgot to mention that the daylight lume on the gen has more of a cream color rather than white... Chris did a great job matching the hands to the markers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

houndoggie 58 Posted December 12, 2012 nothing like a gen dial! Just got one of the new SOSF (Hfactory??) today and the dial is much more similar to gen. The blue is not as navy perhaps and the rehaut lume markers aren't as puffy, but it is a major improvement over the V1 dial. is it possible to transplant the guts of your watch into a V2 case (the bezel seems very nice on it)??

I have been debating transfering it all to a V2 case... The bezel click and fit is what needs the most work on the V1...

I believe a clone V2 can be had for under $200.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Del 4,499 Posted December 12, 2012 Lovely dial! Can't believe you put it in a v1 though - you need a v2 case! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
