I am more familiar with 1665s, but what you did looks good to me.
Cheers, Freddy!
Is that the "ultimate" SD from the cartel or a different version? I have an Ultimate and have been wondering if a TC dial and hand upgrade is worth it.
This is the superlumed version, i think it differs from the ultimate.
Theres a gen crystal in the rolex forum website. Its pricey but its worth it.
Thanks Tony, I have seen that, its a bit too dear for me at the moment but I will get one soon.

This project was a weird one for me, I fell in and out of love with the watch throughout the build and had it for sale for a while before deciding that I actually love it more than any other watch I own or have previously owned.
The turning point was when a TC dial and hand set arrived on my doorstep, the dial blew me away and confirmed that I needed to complete the watch and keep it. Not that the original dial was bad but this is on a whole new level.
The case is a Superlumed SD case originally from Trevor. In my opinion its better that the SSD and although the crystal is probably better on the SSD on the whole I think the SLSD just pips it. The bracelet is TC's 93160A that is absolutely incredible, by far and away the best rep bracelet I have handled. The datewheel is a TC V2 and the tube and crown are both from the master that is TC.
I decided to add a gen insert and this made a huge difference to the look, you just cant beat a gen insert and its a must for a convincing build.
The movement was a swiss eta 2836, however it started running really fast, so I bought a new movement from cousins and its now running great
Full specs as follows:
TC dial and hands
TC V2 DWO
TC tube and crown
TC 93160 Bracelet
NOS Gen Insert
Crown Guards Shaved
I have a gen crown that I wanted to install,but unfortunately it wont fit the TC crown, so im on the look out for a gen tube. I would also like to add a gen clasp and divers extension plus a gen crystal at some point,but at the moment the coffers are empty!
Anyway here are some pics,

Gen insert installed, cant wait for my TC dial to arrive!

I am no expert either but based in the incorrect 10 spacing on the insert, I would say rep.
Umm, think I will steer clear unless it goes cheap as chips.
Also, is that a movement holder for an ETA? I cant imagine the gen has one?

Im not huge deepsea fan, so I dont really know much about them, however I came across this whilst browing the bay of thieves -
Can anyone confirm authenticity?
