Do you know if the Breitling Super Avenger Gen dial easily fits the new reps?

I have a 116660 dial but the feet (or pegs) on the back have broken off. How would I repair this? Or is there someone that can be recommended to repair this for me? Thanks!

Best bet would be to use dial dots

What a crazy old thread! Does anyone happen to have a link to a dial swap? I have a PAM GEN 024 dial in coming and would prefer to study prior to fing up a few mvmts.

Forget gen dial for Panerai. At the moment they are really really tough to source and can easily fetch 500USD and up just for the dial.

Anyway hand sizes on ETA2892,2824,2836,Coax Cal 2500 and 1120 are all the same... again let me to wonder that all ETA28xx series has the same hand sizes (I got a debate on this topic with my own watch tools seller, he can't believe my observation but yet to prove me wrong).

So... linking back to your post, the genuine hands won't fit Asian ETA.

Agreed. Also, given that most rep (NOOB) PAM dials are like 99.9% close to GEN it's not worth it

Please could send me one point me in the right direction. I’ve checked eBay already, nothing.

I’m looking for a IWC BIG Pilot iw500912 Black dial.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

For Hublot Big Bang V6.5 it is also possible to swap the dial to gen :) Be careful there are also 41mm gen models that are not repped, make sure to source a 44mm dial. :)

Does anyone know if it is possible to swap a gen IWC Big Pilot 5009-01 into a rep 5009-12?

Long time reader, first time caller – I have a ladies 31mm Datejust from BP factory with a A2824 movement. Would I be able to swap the dial for gen? I've tried searching for an answer but as far as I can tell no one has posted about modding a 31mm size watch before.

Here are pics of the watch, if that helps: https://imgur.com/a/g6x4VP5
