  1. Well, I can guarantee it is the same case. There is a serial number on it.... :)

     

     

     

    Well, if it is the same case it should definitely fit. I was told the case was an early Sean case and I went with that notion. I could not find anything to argue against it. I was ultimately going to use this case for an early 16610 transitional model as the rehaut seemed shallower than the 3135 cases (Both Late Sean and ST) and about the same as the ST3035 cases but the center line for the stem was closer to a 3135 case. Things changed and I had to sell it.

     

    There is about .4mm or less of difference on the top side of the 3035 and 3135 movements. I wonder if this is the issue here. 

  2. I can take more pictures.

    The problem fitting the movement is that the dial doesn't sit flsh against the rehaut. The way the case is shaped from the inside doesn't allow the dial to go all the way against the bottom of the case. It leaves a small space and because the dial is not flush the screws that hold the movement down don't have enough roomto even fit in the movement.

  3. i have a gen 116520 case with gen braclet, gen dial and gen hands, gen crystal and gen crown. every gen.

     

    i only need a movement now that fits.

     

    i think a 7753 sec@6 no date should fits with some work. when my watchsmith has done the job i will post some pics.

     

    You want a Zenith movement Chronograph cal 4030. Look for a movado datron from the 70's and there you have it. Don't waste your time with a 7753. It will never fit not will the dial line up.

  4. I took a couple of pictures of the case and caseback. Maybe some of the experts can chime in.

    The supposed to be gen caseback has terrible font and the word "stainless" has the INL so close that is looks like the I is missing.

    Here's a picture of a gen caseback. Note how crisp and clean:

    Here's a Sean Case I bought last year. I was able to find the picture from the original post.

    The bigger cutout for the movement screw to go in is in a different position also. Sean case is at about 10:00 position while the case I received is at 9:00

    Not that it makes a difference but it shows another difference in machining.

  5. I bought a Sean case last month and finally got my gen parts to put a franken submariner together. Today we tried to assemble all the parts but the gen movement didn't fit the case. I had built a franken last year with a Sean case and everything fit pefectly in place. The caseback that came with the case (that was supposed to be gen) didn't fit 2 of the gen subs we tried it on and it didn't fit the TC case I had at my place either.

     

    Does anyone have a Sean case or recall any of the particulars? One the the pictures I have show the cutout for the movement in a different place. I paid a pretty penny for the set and would like some opinions if anyone cares to share....
