  1. Very interchangeable Chuckyfindly, I just had Misi build one up for me and put it in my TC 16610LV. The date wheel and works like a charm and I'll post a pic of all the stuff he had to change to Gen from the movement. I wear it almost every day and it keeps time perfectly. I also had an extra gen 3135 rotor when he installed. Break down in price is a bit costly but compare it to a Gen 3135 your way a head with a solid movement. It comes dirty and dry so a full service is needed. I paid $320 from Yuki because I brought three movements. I've only used one so far. Like the OP said. They were at my door in 3 or 4 days. That was when I started my build's. The first build was a 16610 from the era of 2003. I had every part but the case, gen. I thought I had brought a Phong from someone over at RWG. Well the Gen 3135 didn't fit and ended up using my TC 16610LV case. I brought another case from TC. So in the process I had the watch maker make the 2003 16610, I decided I still want my TC. But thought about putting the Yuki movement in it. Since the watchmaker is amazing with the Yuki why not. So that build we used all the TC stuff except the movement, Hands, date wheel crown and tube. The bezel insert was switch to gen prior to me. So here is the cost break down of what it took to get the TC 16610LV with yuki to be perfect. Yuki movement= 320 Gen rotor=150 Gen date wheel= 100 Gen Crystal=100 Gen tube and crown=120 Gen hands=200 Gen parts for yuki to run great=280 Service (Clean and oil) yuki= 120 Assembly =40 -------------------------------------- Total= $1430 Now add the price of the TC watch $620 which was the the TC 16610LV type I which pushes it to: Total=$2050 I still have parts I can sell. I have a real eta 2824 with TC date wheel on it. I have the TC hands. TC tube and crown. TC gen spec crystal. Lets say I can get $200 for all that. The new total would be: Total=$1850. I have a keeper for life. It ticks, winds, hands adjust looks like a $7000 dollar Rolex.
  2. Cookie this isn't his full time job. He does watches on the side. It took me almost 7 weeks to get parts from him. You will get them and they are second to none. Just be calm and it will happen. Very trust worthy guy. He just takes a little of time because unlike me, he has a life. LOL.
