What sort of money are the serviced crystals mate and is there any where you could buy them from? Ie cousins uk ect Cheers Ry

Think I may have to invest in one of these bezels

Maybe I'll just get a new insert From tc and fit my gen pearl into that, I like your thinking buddy. Cheers for the help

Have they stayed in when you have used epoxy? just don't wanna lose it, definatly think it's the cheaper option to buy insert without pearl,what sort of money do the pearls along sell for? I could sell mine if it's worth it? Cheers guys

Hi buddy nice review , could you tell me if the etaswiss bezel fits on the tc retaining ring and tc case, if so I think I may have to invest in one.and does anyone know if the etaswiss bezel takes gen insert? Cheers guys

I'll post a pic up later buddy, out at the mo, but it's snapped at the top and bottom of the triangle the pearl sits in

Cheers guys yeah I've got a pearl From my last insert which I snapped last week trying to fit into my new sub bezel Not sure if I should sell the gen pearl and buy an insert with pearl fitted or buy a gen insert without pearl and fit mine.

Hi guys I'm looking at buying a gen insert for my new tc 16610 sub as I broke my recently bought gen insert trying to fit it. To try reduce the cost I'm looking at buying an insert without a pearl as I can't really afford another £100 for another insert and was wondering if anyone has fitted a pearl into the insert. I'm guessing they just push is there a risk of losing the pearl or it falling out? Any advise would be great. And yes I'm not going to be installing my new insert if I manage to get one. I will pay someone else to fit it Cheers Ryan

Do all gen sub crystals have the crown @6? Only thinking of a tell on the rep but I suppose you would have to get quite close to notice it . Oh and I like the picture

Hi buddy I found a website that has the serial number years and according to it x is 1991 here's the link if it helps Ry http://www.watches.co.uk/watches/information/rolex-serial-numbers/

Is the Clark crystal the best on the market? I'm guessing it doesn't have the crown @6 ?

I love my 45 upo but now I have received my tc sub and other subs I think I now prefer a smaller watch, a sub is deffinatly the perfect sized watch in my opinion

It's 7 am sunday and it's a frosty morning in uk lakeside

Guys can you fit whatever size gasket to these then? Where would I source the correct size from, would cousins uk have it? I may get the correct size Cheers Ryan

Too late I've just snapped the gen insert and damaged my tc insert and now my bezel is back on and won't turn! I give up with f@#+ing watches!

Man this insert is ridiculous! I don't know how your supposed to gen it in the bezel!

Loving the watch buddy, I absolutely love mine may try fitting the gen insert in the min. Love the Lego diver!

Here some pics of the keyless on the movement in question. And are these the two wheels 1488 and 1530

What do these reversing wheels do? Are these the ones numbered 1488 and 1530? and are these part of the barrell bridge? Sorry for the novice questions. Cheers Ry

Thanks for the help and photos guys, just uploading the photos to my mac and I'll post them up shortly, I'll probably swap out the top section of the movement with both the wheels you referred to and I'll try setting keyless again, I've set them up do many times but must be doing something slightly wrong.its so frustrating because every time I test it before fitting back into case it all works, I must be dislodging refitting the stem . I'll post some pics up to show you . Cheers Ry

Right guys I completely stripped the movement down last night and found the hack lever bent. Replaced it from one out of my 2824. I put the movement back together swapped all the keyless movement parts out of my 2824 which all looked Identical,put it all back together. The movement seems to work fine but when I push the crown back in just before tightening it to the tube if you turn the crown it spins the rotor? does anyone know what I have done wrong? Also the keyless works still plays up. One time it all works fine then another time you pull out the crown and nothing happens! As if it's not connected to anything. You then click in one and move date then suddenly the time setting position works again! Any help would be appreciated Cheers all

Nice work mate

I had the same dilemma when I was trying to remove my tube from the cas, when I got to the point where the tube was crushed and there is no way out I used a small screw driver as I didn't have a chisel or punch small enough and knocked it out from the inside of the case, came straight out with about 2 swift taps with the hammer I got in the watch tool kit You've probably less likely to damage the case by knocking it out rather than using pliers

Mine came in the post yesterday, it was my first Rolex rep and I would love to see what the gen is like because this rep is simply amazing!! And I love the engraving.

What watch you gone for buddy? Strange josh hasn't sent qc pics? Got my tc sub yesterday!!!! Wow is all I can say
