Clark’s has a Tropic 39 that I used on my build all those years ago... to me it looked pretty good - not sure how close to gen but it was definitely not the top hat/flat dome style that’s for the newer replacements...
Hmmm... now that I look at it the 12 marker doesn’t quite line up with the crown - is that normal? Also, do they make a no rehaut engraving in black or just LV Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
These look ok to everyone? It’s been awhile since I’ve ordered a new watch, so was hoping everybody could help me out with the QC pics... [emoji4] Only thing I could see right off is the bezel insert doesn’t seem to be 100% aligned right, but that can be fixed. Mainly looking for stuff with the dial or DW. Thanks so much!

So does this have the right movement? I hate the confusion over SA vs SH... https://puretime03.com/submariner-16610-ln-black-metal-bezel-jf-1-1-best-edition-on-ss-bracelet-sh3135.html# Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Beautiful! Gen? If not, where'd you get it? I was looking for one a few years ago and only saw the dual faced ones powered by a quartz movement... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
+1 - I have my gens and my fiancée and my engagement/wedding rings insured through them. Great service and reasonable prices. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
@freddy333 - Do you mean that they sought the Asian market, and the styles popular there, rather than sticking with their "tool watch" origins? Curious as to the increase in case sizes - is that actually popular there? When do you suppose the shift happened? (Please don't take this as political/trollish/etc - actually curious about this idea, as I'd never really considered it before) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Cool - thanks for the advice. It's a gen watch and a gen dial so no issues there. Point taken about messing up an expensive watch/ dial though... Maybe I'll see what there is in my area and worst case give it a go myself. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
So I just bought a gen luminova dial on here and wondered if it is in the realm of possibility to switch it out oneself... I'm pretty handy with watch tools and am comfortable working with reps but wanted a more expert opinion with regard to gens. Are they that different? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Lol - same goes for a lot of my stuff! That sounds cool... At the risk of derailing who were some of the artists? Sent from my iPod touch using Tapatalk
Nanuq, I think I speak for a majority of the music community when I say we hate you right now... Also, sweet Fender... Too bad I was born in the '90s! Sent from my iPod touch using Tapatalk
The hands don't look too bad. Lume is a little orange but I've seen that before... Overall nice work - not bad for a build it yourself.
