Carrera Day Date Mods?

[nauticatom]

Hey folks, I had a few questions... I've picked up a Carrera Day Date from Shinewatch, and I typically order Panerai, so pardon me asking some simple questions.

I bought a sealed ETA movement from a forum member, to replace the 7750 that comes with it (fixing the day/date font issue).

What else do you recommend doing? has anyone swapped the dial for a gen? Gen Bracelet? I remember someone giving their review a few threads down and saying that the bracelet felt cheap, so I found a few on ebay, didnt know if they mount right up or not.

anything else outside of the usual stuff, (sealing, etc.al)

I plan on this watch being a daily wear to work, switching out between my PAM 299 and this.

If you put a Swiss movement in you should go for gen hands. The pinion sizes are different to the A7750 version.

A gen dial will also go on there. A lot of money. Now the badge is better it may not be essential.

SSTEEL built one with loads of gen parts. Search either on here or RWG.

I have only modded a CV2014 with gen movement and hands etc and silver screws and day/date disks on the day date.


Need sec @ 6 module for daytona.

Thanks for this... Do you have any links to Gen stuff? I tried searching the bay, didnt come up with much... re: hands, I am going to send it off to speedy, I would like to go with Gen hands / dial, bracelet..
