The TC tube and crown are both water tight. The gen crown will just be an addition for yourself as I did in my case. E

D, get the TC one

A gen eta 2836-2 fits perfect in that case. With a raffles ring. I'm very upset because after reshaping the lugs and fitting the TC v3 perfectly. The Clark's bezel pops off the insert. Same thing with a gen. 90% done! But couldn't take it on the trip.

I am so tempted!!!

Clark's tubes are awesome. I just installed mine and the gen crown fit right in.

I have always loved the idea of sourcing watches from your birth year etc. 1973 is a toughie though. The Tudor 7159 is a favorite as well as maybe a 6263 and of course a SD

That is what I have read in the past before as well. Those gaskets when used in other brands are friction seal gaskets. You need to create that mechanical seal sort of speak. Recently I have read a few posts where people are applying a bit of silicone to the gasket(cannot find them now though)

Haven't posted in a while. 7032 for me today E

CT, I will send you pictures of the pearls tomorrow. The movements with the correct movement ring should be no problem. I hope. Stupid question, is anyone using silicone grease for the crystal gaskets, or just sliding it dry?( no pun) E

Thanks man. SOOOO simple. I may have a few 2836 DWs around. Just need to get a gen DW and try it out. Will have to wait. E

Ok brother, PM me the trick for the gen DD on a 2824. E

Quick and great reply. I guess I'm ok with the 3035 case and a 2836-2 movement then. Checking out the specs for the 3035 and the 2836-2 are similar

I wanted to ask you Stilty about the choice for the 2892 movement. How did you use the Gen date wheel on there? how was the stem height/angle say compared to a 2824? Thanks for sharing. E

While using the ST case for a 16800 build I wonder what right movement to use would be. I have a 2879, 2836-2 and a 2824-2 all gen. I want perfect stem height as well as good fit of dial to rehaut and movement ring(as I'm not using a gen movement. E

The ST crystal ring is a [censored] to press in. Gen gasket, Clark's or their (ST) still no go. Hh, I still have to get to you about the other case btw. E

^^^ ding ding ding... You may onto something there.

I would play with different gaskets. I'm getting a ST case for the 16800 build which was supposed to be a birthday present to wear today, but things come together in due time. Red thanks for all the great comparisons btw. E

All great watches. The gwsd is the best of both worlds and always a classic. Good on any type of suit(wetsuit or dress) and looks great with a pair of jeans as well. Mbw is the way to go. Get the Asian 2836 and save money for something else. The a2836 is a great movement for the money. E Eric, where were you surfing at?

With raffles make sure the diameter is not 29mm. Feet location was never a problem with any of his dials. E

I know BK trims his to fit a gen insert without shaving off the insert. perhaps those crystal rings from TC can be shaved in the same way.

^^ I guess a taller gasket and the Clark's assembly will do the trick? E

Sounds like you did receive the wrong parts. E

I wish they were. These I bought(hate to admit) from WSO. We shall see how good or bad they are. BTW, I'm home now. Took all weekend for the certs. Water logged as mo-fo though. I missed being in the water. I took the SSD v2 case with a DG movement and plain dial just to see if the WR was there. i have to say the watch is better under water than my 7002 that I was using for the first two days. doesn't feel too heavy or too light. The bezel stays put and took more than a few tan hits. Visibility under water was insane also. I Super lumed the sterile dial a month back and had matching hands. I really just wanted to test the case and setup. BTW, TC's bracelets are THA BOMB!!! Back to your regular scheduled post. E

Depending on how good the dial is this can be used to make a 14060m with the COSC print. Change out the markers and use different hands.

I guess the 501s will have to do for now.
