the v3 bracelet is pretty amazing. I have one on my sean case and on my expII. first rep oyster I didnt need to lubricate or work on. it is super tight in the lugs, if there was a thing as negative gap, it has it.
Sean's bracelet is like the TC v2 bracelet I believe. The v3 is may more betterer
You need a gen spec tube for the Sean case. There are very good aftermarket ones so you don't need gen.
Did he fix the 16610 to read 16610T yet?
Lastly, and this is hard to tell in assembled but is your cyclops crooked?
Can't wait for pics! Thanks for sharing
Serials went Y,F,D,Z,M,V (2002-2008)
I have seen pics of a Y, with holes, that looks different than a Z.
Fid has a point, you could just go for the M as it does have a M serial. Hopefully it has 16610T and not 16610 like mine.
I meant the thickness top to bottom not side to side for the lugs. The slightly thicker case shape was really noticeable when I put the v3 bracelet on. Maybe my case is just made wrong and that's why it looks like it does. On a side note I like your builds Fidhle, really inspiring...
Mine is marked M too, but it's also marked 16610 with no T, so it should have holes. A Y serial can be 2002-2004. The case shape, at least mine, has slightly thicker lugs, like a bunch of early Y serials I've seen.
Anyway I'm happy with my build so far. And I am very impressed with all the other builds too! I also love the discussion that all the builds are creating. It really makes this the best forum in the verse!
I bought my Sean case well over a year ago before the TC craze. At the time it was the best there was. The bezel is very nice. I haven't handled a TC so I can't comment on it. My gen parts are Y serial, and my opinion is the Sean case is based off a Y serial as well. I wa told he use to sell it with or without lug holes.
At some point I may Lookinto getting holes drilled. But it has been a very long build and when she returns I just want to wear her for a bit.
Great pics chief. Insert looks good, All I can see though is the low crown position
My gen insert snapped into my Sean bezel, with a bit of effort, but it's there. The bezel insert was used so maybe it was made smaller by the installing and uninstalling over the years allowing it to fit the Sean bezel. Or maybe I just got lucky.
My build is up north, I'll post pics when she returns from service.
We have added coverage for my 1675, my wedding band, the wife's jewelry, and actually had one on my old mountain bike before I sold it. It ia not a lot of cash for the peace of mind.
Anyone know if they are doing individual serial numbers like v1? And it's also odd the WR went from 100m for v1 to 30m for v2. The dealer I contact prior to the full listing was put up said it would be 100m. Maybe they are just being cautious. I was hoping to swim in this one and 30m isn't enough for me to feel comfortable.
It might fit in some cases, but Sean's case tolerances are tight and I know that the 3135 fits perfectly. Let us know if you get one to fit..
3135
Diameter = 28.5mm
Casing diameter = 28.1mm
Height = 6mm
3035
Diameter = 28.5mm
Casing diameter = 28.1mm
Height = 6.15mm
