so much want! has anyone pulled the trigger on one of these yet?

Is there anyone who can compare the subdials' spacing between Gen dial and Rep one?
I've got Gen dials for a long time waiting for a rep watch to be a base for it, no rep yet sadly.
I bet 8F 5500V takes 7750 mod movement, pretty sure the subdials won't fit the Gen dial.

Or would be there any other movement that fit Gen dial's subdial spacing? such as Val23, st19, Landeron or whatever? Manual movement is also okay if I can install my gen dials into a case with a movement that fits.

Do you have proof of this? The picture and video looks like it does in fact line up but would really appreciate your knowledge.

Nice, please share pics and feedback when you receive it

I ordered a blue dial and hopefully will franken it with a silver dial.

I ordered a blue dial and hopefully will franken it with a silver dial.

Just in case, gen 5500v steel with silver dial has smoked/darkened hands and indices as opposed to the bright silver on the blue dial, so if there's still time it might be best to try to change your order to a 8f silver dial. Or you can try a gen black reverse panda dial, easier to source than gen blue dials and have the same hands as blue.

Let us know how you get on with the franken, I know I've been considering this myself.

Good luck

Good catch! I’ll switch it over to a silver dial and find a watchsmith who would be interested in doing the project.
