All of the used spring washers I have seen have at least three bends in them. Glad you got it sorted

Someone dropped on the 4th round....

Very nice indeed brother. I'm going a similar route for my wife's birthday gift. Congrats!

7922 and 7924 Tudor dials for eta feet will be ideal to get

I actually like the v3 bracelet. Which number stamping and coronet do you guys have?

There's a nice 7002 for sale currently that will be great as a daily beater.

Women's tan liquid foundation has a great patina to it. Smooth too. Maybe you can apply that to the lume for a smother look

I've said it and will say it again, we need a Sapphire subs subforum. Organized data matrix with all the data for these submariners. Yes, there is a search button, but it can take a whole to get certain basic details.

I am with you both Gavi and CT. I have contact PB before and for this build he is getting the nod. I have a set f gen hands that I will to him for a match. E

+1 to what CT said. Dial looks the part. Post pics soon D!

Looking good!

Speaking lume, is PB the choice du jour for the vintage no glow lume?

One if these days I'll get the 1199. Too Much right now. Happy with the cafe racer though. This year's show sucked! For a Friday I have never seen it so dead and weird.

The stem should have the right size thread an pitch to fit the gen crown. This far I have not had a problem. The gen crown tends to be longer in reach than the Asian one. If the gen tube is used then you should be ok. It is always good to compare the length of old and new tube and old and new crown to see if the length needs to be altered in any way. Incidentally, I have used stems for both the Asian eta clones and the Miyota /DG based clones with no issues.

The ST3135 SHOULD have lug jokes and if you had the case it is easily checked. Alli, I you get tired of the watch I can hold it for you and check it for water tightness. Heck, I have a dive trip scheduled for the spring and the watch can come along for underwater pictures

What Freddy said

Yes, the 3135 has a clock-wise progression, whereas the 3035 has an anti-clock-wise progression. I never said otherwise. Call me lucky I guess

For the gen tube you will need to retap the case for the correct thread/pitch. If you're not reusing the old tube in the case you don't need to worry about destroying it.

Depending on the condition of the insert, the best thing to do is flip it around here and use the funds for a correct 1665.

Chef is right. The y3135 is a CW date change. The disc I have however has the right progression. Sorry for the confusion. When I answered yes, it was in response to the date disc installed on the movement.

MD, ofrei has them and so does ST. For a gen movement, correct?

Don't do it

Y3135 has gen date advance. No issues there.

Yes, but the date disc I had to sand down .18mm or so to fit it it. Still, the best there is out there for the price.
