I want to thank Domi for doing a great job with my Heritage! He changed the dial to gen which I bought from Ebay and also relumed the hands to match the gen lume. The lume is 1:1 to dial and it glows! My first modded watch so I am really excited!

Unfortunately he could not do the AR this time so the watch will next go to Uwe. The gen dial makes a huge difference although the AR is not done yet.

And a crappy picture of the watch and old dial:

Thanks Domi!

Damn, I didn't realise you could pick up gen dials!

I will need to keep an eye out...


What did the dial cost, if you don't mind me asking? :)

Hi Mate,

There's one for sale again:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/BREITLING-O...187?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2c5f220d5b

The price was pretty much the same as I ordered mine some time ago. It really does a difference! And should be 100% gen. I also know where to get gen hands if you need (at least some time ago they were available).

Blimey, not that cheap for a dial! Good value compared to the cost of a gen watch though :)

It looks awesome!

But... am I the only one who really can't see a difference between the two dials in the pic?
Based on what I can see, I'm not sure I could justify the cost.

Maybe I will post a better picture later but the basic differences are: misaligned lume dots, 12 o'clock markers too close, misaligned P and A in superocean/Automatic. My watch is version 1, the next versions have some things better for the dial, some aren't. And one thing that I noticed is the ground color of the dial, it is completely different in gen dial.

Just to show you folks how it finally looks:

And the amazing lume that lasts and lasts:

Compared to Hublot:

I am really satisfied with the results and it seems that Hublot will stay in the box a lot...
