DJ rep band on gen case?

[truthrocket]

1. Will my DJ rep band fit on a gen case?
2. Can I take a gen dial and put it in my rep (so far I have gotten a few different opinions)?

Let's make a bad-ass Frankenjust together and share the perfect formula!

Here's a gen dial on a rep:

Gen Dial is a great upgrade

I have upgraded a few DJ reps with gen dials. It is an easy upgrade. The dial feet will not fit the non-Rolex movement so they can be removed and the dial glued in place. I have had no issues with gen dials size being off and all have fit perfectly. Good luck Cheers

Here are two pics of my DJs with gen dials

This mod can be done pretty easily. Just be careful with removing and replacing the hands, they are very fragile. Get yourself a good hand removing tool for this. Replacing hands can be done by pressing them back on with the eraser end of a pencil, but it does take some patience, and make sure you turn the movement over until you see the date change and position the hands at midnight. Watch out for the hour markers on the dial too. Some gen dials have hour markers that are higher than the rep dial and you may have to slightly (and carefully) bend the minute and second hands up so they dont catch on the dial. The hour and minute wheels can be replaced by taller ones to solve this problem also, but that is something I have yet to try myself. Good luck and share some pictures when your finished

Cheers

Very good advice

Replacing hands does require patience.

How do I get the crystal to sit higher on the case like the gen?

i 2nd that question also ? :?:

As long as the MM is the same as the Gen, it should fit up nicely.....

the only thing you need to worry about is that it may not be as flush as a gen due to the spacing of the springbar holes in the case.

WTF are you talking about. Please repeat in caveman terms

 

[david-syd]

He's talking about the MM as in the width of the lugs,.. being 18mm or 20mm etc....
which is what the orginal question of the thread was about.
