Guys, round 2...
Does this look right? Its a gen tube, does it sit close enough to the case? Should that collar on the tube be recessed in the case?
Ive misplaced my gen crown somewhere so I cant test it! It will come up soon enough
Its a TC for sure, it has the same PJ code on it. The seller has multiples of these he had the same listing sell for $600 and used the same pictures. Its absolutely criminal to sell rep parts as Gen grrrrr!!
I think a gen 93250 is slightly too small in width to fit a TC case, that one of the primary reasons I went a Sean case. The lugs on the TC do look amazing though!
Great build its a TC case with a V3 bracelet, genuine dial, crystal and
+1
Give-aways include:
- the "14" on the plastic on the 1st pic, was the same on my V3
- Bezel teeth dont look deep enough (definitely a genuine insert)
- Hand stack
Lugs are too good to be a Sean case
Londongeorges crystals are genuine and AR'ed
Congrats!
The difference is between a 16610 (which had holes and no holes 16610T) and 16800 which is earlier there are variations in the bezels. Someone else can explain the specific details.
Which gasket? The one under the crystal retainer?
Also guys quick question, if I was to retap the hole, what kind of tap should I be using a bottoming, plug or tapper? Ive read the size is M3 x 0.35 but which kind of tap to use:

All the watch parts stores look like they have the "plug" style taps.
Thanks
Guys trying to tackle the next problem, non rotating bezel! errr. So ive got the retaining ring on, tension spring and click spring in and the bezel on and it wont rotate! What could the issue be??
Im trying to do little as possible to avoid any damage and have been ok so far. But drilling the case isnt something im keen on.
Definitely a gen bezel so not sure what the problem is. I havent been able to gen the bezel on when the tension + click spring are there?? Dont wnat to use more brute force lol
Thanks for the heads up, is tapping the hole best left up to someone who knows what they are doing?
As for the bezel assembly I went all gen so I wouldnt have any headaches and everything would just work! So much for that!
Drilling out the hole sounds difficult and tedious has anyone done any write ups on the mentioned mods?
Thanks!
Its driving me insane! One of the 93250s is in perfectly with a 2mm spring bar, the other side wont stay in unless I use a 1.8mm bar and then its slightly loose! then there is the trouble with the tube and the bezel! Arggghhhh rep life!
