Looks gen, just from the back... could be wrong though

Its fairly beat up 

I have a genuine sub box if youre interested

Im in Melbourne

would your gen dial fit a BP sub?

Yes it would fit the case, you would need a yuki 3135 or genuine 3135 or clip the feet off the dial to fit it to the movement you have  

If you're after a Gen dial I have one let me know

Cheers

Nothing should be vertical except for an engraved model/serial - M and V in a 16610. Some say late Z also had engravings but again vertical. One of the only downfalls of the TC and that it doesn't accept a Gen 93250. Get a Sean and polish it, becomes near Gen.

Haha I have a Gen bezel and insert just need a new retaining ring, willing to split?

So gen crystal heights vary? Or did I read that wrong?

I have measured some gen crystals versus say Clark's and TCs and the thickness from the gens as I have found varies from 2.21mm to 2.18. With a gasket of 2.73mm I was able to get the right height. Patience is key. If you have a TC crystal(I think TC sells his at 1.8mm ) and a 3mm you'll be too high. Yours looks a tad too high, but not ridiculous. Water resistance is more important

Thats a pic before it's polished and before I put back in the tension ring. It works it's just a bit tight.

Thanks!

Ive looked... nothing that shows a D serial specifically. It must vary through the years. There are pictures but none that show how high the crystal is because it looks different from each angle.

The reason I ask is that the bezel on my all gen (with a Sean case) rotates without a tension ring inside it but it raises the crystal a fair bit. Not sure whats correct! Sitting flush and not rotating or sitting higher and rotating.

I think the retaining ring is aftermarket.

These are the only reference pics I have.

Is the crystal on mine (bottom pic) too high??

Hey guys,

How high does the crystal sit above the bezel on a D serial (2005/2006) Submariner?

Anyone have any pics of a gen and how high or flush the crystal sits?

Thanks!!

The Sean has the closest rehaut to genuine.

Even the TC rehaut is wrong for a non-engraved rehaut sub. it is too vertical and not angled enough for anything other than a M or V serial.

Cheers!

The top case the M95xx is a Sean/ETA Swiss case. The M58xx is not a Sean/ETA Swiss case. Can tell by the finish and the serial number.

Cheers!

Out of curiosity, I too have a Sean case will all gen parts would you be parting out or selling whole?

Sean quotes around 300+ for it, I have to agree with the others. I think only 2 of the 3 dials work from factory.

That looks like a Sean 6263

Nice watch!

Quick question, did you use the standard Sean tube?

Whats the Sean case thickness like compared to gen and compared to the TC? Anyone know?

How do you replace that pin?

In terms of clasp I like the newer glidelock clasp for minor adjustments, its clever

I have a Sean 703 crown for sale if you're interested let me know. Good luck with the build!

Regardless of what Rolex do people will still buy them and they will still be popular. The style doesnt completely deviate from previous models. Im sure people would have had similar conversations from 1680 -> 16800. As ubiquitous mentioned its an evolution, no one can stop it!

+ 1 on the dial an hands but bezel looks great!!

One step closer now! Does this case fit a genuine movement??

Great job!

Any pics? or link to a thread panerai?
