SSTEEL

Started to strip this case down, and will be practising some case mods on it for a franken, the Swiss ETA will be going in my TT sub. Removed the bezel, and insert from this LV sub, and was surprised to find a difference kind of bezel spring, and click system probe.

Ok mate, looking forward to it

Any news matey?

Excellent, thanks Dan!

Welcome aboard

Cheers guys, thought I was going mad lol.

Ok, found a gen Hulk, now remember, these measurements are only going by my onscreen photos, and do not depict actual sizes, but does give a insight of differential sizes. 9 marker = 154mm x 62mm 6 marker = 157mm x 54mm Sp after all that, I'm even more confused lol, looks like the BP sub has the correct 9 marker (thicker than 6).

I will try and find a genuine Sub square on photo, and carry out the above, and post back what I find for you.

Ok, my findings are of the second one I posted above, the measurements are as follows.. 9 marker = 138mm x 50mm 6 marker = 152mm x 53 Of course, these are only computer screen reference. I would be interested in anyone with a digital calliper to get readings.

I have the bench top one, blue with area for watch, and a red button on the front.

Just noticed our member BeR10 posted a photo of a BP sub in another thread, and it looks like the 9 marker is at the 6 position. You can clearly see the 9 marker is bigger than the marker at 6 when it should be the other way round.. The one below is a sub someone is selling, they look pretty much the same. I will get my onscreen ruler out, and post up my findings.

Nice humble collection my friend. I'm not too far behind you

Yes, looks like it to me after looking for carefully at them for a while. I was always under the impression the 9 and 6 markers were identical, but obviously not, unless this is a placebo effect.

Hi Laurent, and welcome to RWG, if you have a case back opener, remove the back, and take a look to see if there is anything obvious causing the issue. If you can't find anything, then contact PT, and ask if they will either repair, or replace. This can take time, so you maybe best as you suggested getting a local watchsmith to repair it, but seems an odd fault, but sec@6 are problematic.

Cheers for the info, really helpful

Only minor things which can be rectified by yourself if you are handy. You mention a TD from the past who is no longer a TD these days. Are you referring to Eddie Lee by perchance?

Can you not replace the BP tube for gen? Great work though my friend, you are just like me, I love to tinker, and experiment I agree, the gen AR is killer.

Welcome to RWG, and greetings from Finland.

Impressive. Is that an actual gen bezel ring there too with the cut outs in the metal? Like this gen..

Please do let us know how you get on, and with a photo if you can. Hopefully for your sake, its just a lose rotor screw, and tightening it will fix your issue.

They say that, but from what they have sold someone else about the CrPO is that they are waiting on stock to be completed.

Which other forum did you buy this from? The member who sold it to you could well be on here too.

Looks great, and I see your later photos the sub-dial @6 is corrected. Did you remove the hand, and reset it to the 12 position, or simply run the chrono for a while, and reset?
