kingkitesurf Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 OK here it goes... I finally received my gen Tropic #39 super-duper dome... this one is soooo cool... From left to right: Gen vintage #39 superdome (150$), regular MBW tropic (comes with the watch), gen #39 normal dome (105$), Heflands #39 flat but with a custom made bevel (9$ + some work), regular Heflands #39 (9$). You definitely see the difference... You decide whether its worth the difference in money. The three flat #39 (gen, custom Heflands, standard Heflands) The two domed ones... Gen super, MBW standard, gen 'flat' Here you see how I made a bevel in the middle one (at the top) to look like the gen flat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetsons Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 Excellent comparison & nice photos! Thanks for posting this. I believe Hefland had or perhaps has, a generic T-39 superdome that looked very good on Nanuq's 1665. If still available, it is a killer crystal at a low cost. Perhaps Bob will come along and post a pic of the crystal installed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HauteHippie Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 You have too many. I'll take the gen super off your hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 Great post, and comparisons of the various flavors of the much famed T-39! I especially like what you did with the Helfands 39... Nice touch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
