Anyone knows how to regulate this movement? I am having a nightmare with mine.

Quite wrong, the Tropic 11 has sharp edge and Tropic 12 has rounded edge. Both vintage.

Thanks, already worked out!

Thanks for the reply! Actually, A drop of oil on the junction of the crowns parts to lubricate the spring solved out the problem completely. The crown works perfectly and it's noiseless now. I used a tiny bit of White Lub or WD-40.

I've got this beautiful 6200 build and all of a sudden my crown started making these really ugly sounds when screwing it down. There's nothing wrong with the movement, if I take out the crown and hold the stem with pliers, press the crown while rotating to engage the internal sprint, the noises are there. Really weird, would be nice to know if there's any way to sort this out without having to replace the crown. Cheers!

Yes, same as mine. The Clark 19 is also 30,2. Case opening measured 30,5 here. It will leave a gap of 0,3mm. There's a Sternkreuz HW 30,4mm that may be a better option...

I have a Clark T19 here that I was thinking about using for my build. Do you know if that's the same size? I'm thinking about sanding it on the base to make it shorter. My other concen is that it stays a bit lose in there. There will be a small gap around between the crystal and the rehaut.

What crystal are you using for that build?

Thats cool, didn't know their catalog. Do they do branded items as well? They only show unbranded on the website. Thanks!!

Done, came out easily. Flamed it to look vintage. Now on to replace the crystal with Clark T21. Any replacement source you guys would recommend for the Bezel Insert? Yuki, WSO?

I still didn't quite figure how to remove the bezel here. Neither the crystal. I have a much better one but dont want to break the original crystal. The bezel simply wont come off!

I've got a rep with 2836 movement but whenever I pull out the crown to adjust time the movement moves a bit inside the case. I have opened the case and tightened the clamp screws but it's no use, the movement ring is still not tight enough with the case. I am sure there's a workaround for this issue without having to try another ring (which would probably be the same)... Any suggestions?

I haven't built a 1016 yet but my suggestions would be: - Swiss ETA 2840 from Swatch - it's compatible with 2836 ($40) - 2836 case from Raffles Dials ($50) - Yuki yellow marks dial and matching hands for 2836 - maybe you'll have to cut off the dial feet ($110) - Zulu leather strap from eBay ($20) or Yuki 20mm bracelet ($72) or folded style from Yuki ($190) - Clark tropic 22 crystal from eBay ($10) - Gen 6mm crown on eBay ($30) - 20mm fat spring bars from eBay ($10) How about that?

How about a 2840 from an old Swatch watch?

Quick observation: you said sapphire crystal, when you should actually be getting a plexi tropic 22 crystal (you cand find a decent one for under $20)
