I have the current v-series TC Sub case, a genuine 16610 dial and genuine case screws (3135-5100). no movement holder and no tabs right now...

I'm one of the lucky ones to catch a Yuki 3135 when they where available the last time. Now I'm trying to stick it into my TC case with a gen dial attached but i'm having a hard time getting it fixed in there. 

It sit wobbly in there and the diameter of the dial is only a tiny bit larger then the case opening, so it is getting wedged in there all the time when trying to center it and I can't get it to stay in its place. I sourced a pair of gen case screws but they don't seem to hold it in place.

What am i doing wrong…?

Just as a quick follow-up: I was wrong and the Clark hands actually do fit on the yuki.

That being said, I'm still not loving the finish on the Clark hands. They are completely flat compared to the nicely shaped TC hands for example. Gotta keep in mind though, they are a lot cheaper.

Their clone movements are so 1:1 that they even copied the scratches...
 


...oh wait, no, they only cloned the images in Photoshop. 

Can anyone order from ST? On their website it says "no direct sales/hobbists"...

BTW I check several generic 3135 parts on yuki and they all fit

Good news. That make me want to have a spare yuki just for playing around with it and trying out stuff.

What kind of 16610 hands would be a good a good match for the yuki...? I have got Clark ones for now, but they don't really seem to fit. Also they don't seem be superlumed, so they look pretty dark on top of a gen dial.

I've read somewhere that gen hands also won't fit out of the box.

Has anyone ever tried to exchange pants other than the date wheel with genuine ones. I'm thinking gen decorated bridge parts here.
