Could be possible. But you cant see it with bracelet. So not really worth for me
Case, Retainer should be the same everything? Just the ceramic insert/bezel etc
Yes..
The genuine 116520 and 116500 are identical. Since Noob almost "always" build gen spec, their reps should be the same too. You won't know until you try though.

Thanks, that's more like what I was looking for. (The ST case...those guards are too short). I don't believe an ETA will fit into a JF using a SH3135...unless I'm wrong? I was looking for something more comparable to a TC, I guess...BP?
Not really striving for a super-franken
You can use a TC movement holder adapting the 3135 to 2824.

Gen 3135, SH3135 and SA3135 have the same outer dimensions.

Been thinking about this. The 16660 is my favourite SD variant.
We have an amazing rep with the BP SD.I'm just wondering if anyone else already went this way, since the differences between the 16600 and 16660 are subtle, wouldn't it be possible to turn the BP SD into an old matte SD?
Work to do:
- change datewheel
- change dial
- change hands (not sure)
- create larger chamfers
- create thicker crown guards (who's able to laserweld on the forum?)
- different braceletAnyone else who went that way?
Remember that the BP one is larger than gen and "centers" the dial/movement in the case. You'll need to create a custom small "dial ring" e.g. from a nylon gasket.

D**N it!
116600 Noob v7 SA3135 is out of stock. Hopefully 116600 v8 A2824 uses the same case (as the Crown height should be similar...)
Can anyone confirm?

So.. You wanna buy my Tudor 2484 now?

Dial and bezel from the bay? Was watching them too, they were priced well! But another project has to go first. So far I'll have to do with the 3135.
Maloja is a good guy.What bothers me a bit is the crystal, not sure if they've upgraded it with the last release.
But the best ceramic seadweller for sure. Proportions are way better.Should be an easy build, good luck.
Dial and bezel from my own parts source. There is a ceramic insert now for sale on the bay.
Should be an easy build. Lego.

SO, it's finally time for a new crazy gen spec-build.
After a Daytona w/ gen 4130, 16610 w/ all gen parts except for midcase, now we're going the way of the ceramics.
Items will be as follows;
------------------------------
- Noob v7 116600 SA3135 408 USD [ordered]
- Genuine 3135 (brand new) 2400 EUR.
- Hands NOS 175 USD [ordered]
- Dial NOS 650 USD [ordered]
Ceramic insert NOS 650 USD [ordered]
Gen 704-crown 100 USD
+ full tear-down of the 3135, and assembly, and water testing: 450 EUR w/ Mikael @ www.urdelar.se
Keeping rep: Midcase, bezel assembly, crystal, tube, caseback, bracelet.
------------------------
Preliminary cost: 4300 USD
It's definitely way better than the 12500 USD I paid for my gen (which I sold a couple of weeks later).
4300/12500 = 34,4% Franken cost.

Oh my!
I wish you the quickest recovery, and... Compared to a lot of other valvular issues, this one is sorted out pretty quickly!
Take care!

Sadly quite a bit of a let down. Doubt there will be a v2 sadly
I agree.. Dial and hands finishing is quite subpar, original parts are next to impossible to source (and expensive).. One might as well buy the genuine one.

1) bezel insert number size is too small
2) hour hand ok, minute ok, seconds too short

Use a TD..
puretime.io is a good start.
