Red 12, or no Red 12...
I have sent my Habring Felix back for repair after slipping off my wrist while taking it off one tired evening. Now, that it has gone back I can't help but wonder if I should ask for a dial change. A lot of different versions have come out since the original...nothing drastic( no scientific dial etc), but perhaps the Red 12 might splash a little colour in there. Would you do it? A wrist shot of my watch and a photo of the red 12 dial from the Habring website . Thanks!!

Good question!
I don't think they would have a problem with it. They do provide you with lots of extra parts, so as long as one enquires, and rightfully pays, I don't see why they wouldn't. I have of course emailed them, so I'll see what they say. It certainly would be ...
Yes, it is possible.
And as one would imagine the price is fair. I'm still undecided, though!
Well...
This is definitely not helping but what do you want? I find it works either way - with a slightly different character - so it really depends on whether you want the change
It is my everyday watch
Regardless of situation. I do wear it casually in everything except maybe a tshirt and shorts, so maybe the red 12 would help add to its versatility. Had I already a black dialed sports watch I would prob keep it the way it is, but that purchase has been ...
That allows for some flexibility
Then a second dial may be an option. As you would be keeping the original one, you could simply change back at the next service, assuming the black dial sports watch will be with you by then
I'm sure one could venture down the road
Of doing a completely custom dial, but I'm quite fond of the Felix as is. (Saw a very interesting Felix copper dial..)
Easy for me.. Clearly the Red, for a little twist of color.. But a tad more casual then..
The point is : What do. YOU like & want ? But both are cool, that's for sure, so you can't be wrong ! My little 0,02 cents.. Best, hs
Well, less than three weeks
After I sent my watch to the Habring workshop, it is sitting again on my wrist. Absolutely number one top customer service. Dealing with them is always a pleasure. It just reiterates my original decision to go with the watch in the first place and makes m...
