Would it read your body temp or outside temp cause I feel like your body would throw off the tempature reading and visa versa but I could be wrong.

Bezel turns and feels exactly like it should only last official thing this watch needs is a pressure test. What do you guys think this watch will do?

Awesome man can't wait to see it. What's the difference with my dial and yours?

Well my long and adventurous journey to making the ultimate sub has come to an end today and am happy to announce I am finally finished with this build! there is nothing more you can do here!!! on to the pics and details of what happened today Everything is set out for assembly by RWG member mymanmatt Brand new mint insert from rolex ready for install Brand new gen crystal, retaining ring, click spring ready for use which if your all are wondering the genuine retaining ring will be a very very tight fit to your sean case and its best to use a genuine rolex bezel ring as well for the best results. the feel of the bezel rotating is just amazing and I feel that 90% of the reps can't seem to land this distinct feel on the bezel rotation and the clicker spring has a firm loud click as well. Genuine fresh serviced 3135 movement. during the installation of this movement mymanmatt noticed that the movement does not fit the case very tight and has free side to side play. this was not an issue as soon as the movement was secured. I am not sure if this is the case on all sean cases but was with mine. (no pun intended) Now to the build. Here we have the crystal set and lined up ready for the retaining ring to be pressed over the crystal. Here we have the retaining ring over the crystal ready to be pressed and one thing to notice on the sean case is that the teeth on the case back are a little too wide on the case back as it is not a perfect fit to the bergeon case back opener. The bezel is pressed slightly over the crystal and is lined up to be pressed in. its important to note that you check the position all around the watch to make sure while pressing in the retaining ring that it is even on all sides as to not damage any of the components on your bezel assembly Bezel is pressed in fully. The bezel ring, spacer, and click spring are all assembled and all there is to do at this point is install the insert. Using TC's amazing V3 bracelet which gives this watch perfect SELs Only thing left to do is ad these 2mm spring bars to the watch and we are good to go! which by the way there is absolutely no wiggle at all with these bars set in place. its going to take some wiggling and prying to get them in but just work with them and you will have very desirable results. Now on to the completed watch. I would like to thank Matt (mymanmatt) for his wisdom and assembling the watch for me while I sat there and learned a few things and DCPARK87 for coming up with some very essential parts for the build (sean's case, gen bezel ring, TC v3 bracelet) ENJOY!!

very nice man looks sharp

16610 is the best fitting divers watch ever made if you ask me...or any of the vintage stuff just plain light and easy to wear...DSSD is literally a divers TOOL and to me should not be worn outside of the ocean haha
-
So ultimately the sean is the best case for 16610 builders?
-
I just sold a 16233 case set sorry guys!
-
Are you experiencing a sharp pain or dull pain. Maybe it's just the physics of the watch...it's massive on my wrist and can hurt just from the weight being thrown around on my wrist
-
INSERTS ARE IN. I have TT blue TT black and pointed 4, flat 4, I have patina insert, GMT pepsi and coke. No vintage stuff at the moment. I will make a post later tonight in the sales section so please do not discuss price here as this is just a PSA
-
I have a few patinas in very beautiful dark brown and good worn look.
-
Yes it will fit I had one with gen insert
-
Clarks has a new batch that really is amazing

Will look into it!
-
ah I got tired of waiting...
-
Well they are more reliable as the 7750 naturally runs at 9 so no extra gears so if you did a COR your gonna have a nice runnin watch.

I found the gen retaining ring to be smaller due to the tight fit compared to

Ya I did notice that my TW springbars rusted after a few weeks of showering

Actually sharks are attracted to shiny objects so joke is on the wearer
