Based on my reading of the forums, the parts I'm going to get or have already:


  • Gen hands
  • Gen crown and tube
  • ETA 2824 datewheel
  • Sunny crystal
  • eBay bezel insert

My question is, is it worth me getting a genuine dial vs getting the rep dial relumed? Would anyone add anything to this list that makes sense in terms of bang for buck?

Personally I did. The gen dial is perfectly lumed, perfectly spaced and the texture is ever so slightly different to the rep.

No dilemma between reluming the rep dial and getting a gen one.

Except you are reluming it on your own...

I got the gen dial. It's pretty impressive with the Sunnydale crystal.
