thats true but its better than nothing and i would settle for a decent dial in a 16610 case. rehauts can also be ground down a bit use a shorter profile gasket and really no one is going to notice without a side by side comp
14060 dial is the same size as a 5513 dial.
however, TC may be able to help us out soon, by making some 16610 dials that have an hour marker at 3. easy enough to put into a 16610 or a star time 16800 case. remove the cyclops on the crystal (which ive done easily with a chisel and a few stout whacks) , once he completes his ultimate 16610 sub to his perfection hopefully he'll give this project some attention. maybe showing some support for the idea will reassure his potential investment.
i think their parts are finished by hand from a mold, i have seen asymmetrys in my case batches, between thicknesses, sometimes the grind away too muhc --or not enough, drill lug holes slightly off. cases made on monday may differ from the same manufacturer if made on a friday. just my experience
very nice TC! how bout an open 9 and open 6 datewheel with a flat top 3 while youre there
i have a printable high res file ready , all they have to do is print it, let me know
i wouldnt go by the pics on either site to make your descision, these cases are hand finished and the CGs are never consistent or slope the same between two cases, similar yes, but side by side from the same seller you can see a difference.
