Gavi, the 16800 has a shallower rehaut than the 16610..

yeah I meant TswissT, tritium dial. That dial on ebay is newer than yours and luminova, you can see it from the rail roman numbers. Of course I know it's for fun, and also our comments are just for chatting

case/bracelet are not gen, wokky and bad SEL fitment, neither the dial which has a ugly coronet and SWISS MADE on a dial that should be swiss t<25 Sorry but it looks like a canal street replica.

I'm in EU so I always use cousinsuk but I guess ofrei works fine as well. Parts nr are these, maybe just the cannon pinion is enough, but for the little investment I prefer to change all of 3 http://www.rwg.cc/topic/146569-parts-number-for-eta-2824-2-4-hour-wheel-minute-wheel-cannon-pinion-and-second-wheel/

A TC build with the TC 93250, dial (Swiss made) and hands and a drilled through is OK. Fat four lumi insert. Crystal with or without LEC would be acceptable. Same combination with the 93150 and 501b end links would look like a pre-1999 build with service dial and hands (and crystal if w/LEC). Original configuration had T<25 dial and no LEC crystal. Basically T<25 is always non SEL, SWISS is non SEL, SWISS MADE always SEL. Choose the insert accordingly.

Nobody would pay 3000$ for a rep with gen movement only. 3135 value is around 1500$-1700$ depending on the sevice history.. plus the value of the rep parts, around 100$. Total value 1600$-1700$ and it will not be easy to sell. What's the reason of having a bad dial, bad case and gen movement? imho gen mov is worth if you add at least a gen dial, crystal and hands. It will not be a "superfranken" or "uberfranken", it's just a rep with a gen movement The dj all gen with a sa3135 yes, will be around 1000$

Congratulations, one of the best sub ever seen. V3 SEL fitting is actually better than first SEL series, but what is surprising most is the correct curve of the SEL. Older rep had too straight SEL leaving a space between wrist and case, and giving a fake looking. Hope to get my V3 soon

in the reps.. for the reps.. gen order is Seconds,Minutes,GMT,Hour

The ugliest rolex ever, imho Not my piece of cake but on the same style the new Yachtie with blue dial, or if you have money to invest the Sky Dweller.

Nice one. It definitely deserves a better pearl and a V3 bracelet, but TC's it's the best LV version at the moment. Crystal looks very good, but I still don't understand why investing big bucks in a AR crystal which is incorrect for this serial instead of using money for other stuff like gen insert/crown/bezel,dwo..

I always change H4 cannon pinion, hour wheel and forth wheel and keep the rest the same

2.7mm

No gmt rep has the gen bezel assembly, you should start from josh's exII, add a retaining ring gen or rep (ie from a TW Sub but in this case you'll have to shave it) and of course a new dial. Not so cheap project but quite easy and very good when completed. Check BK's section there's a tutorial

Got my case today, and I was lucky too, the gen insert just snaps in! Can't wait to get V3 bracelet, hope to be as lucky not to have to trim the SEL. About the fitment on gen cases, no way, v3 will not fit unless you shave the SEL. It's supposed to be 20.15mm vs 20mm of a gen. If yours fits, well the SEL come from a v2 bracelet.

that's gonna be the tougher part lol

Clasp is definitely a v3, swiss made space and different clasp code, PJ4 vs DE6 of v2. TC says 9 out of 10 need to be trimmed, maybe yours are the other 1

you sure it's a v3 bracelet? Does TC already offer complete sub with v3 bracelet? A few pics would be much appreciated

Gen 93250 bracelet from 2007 on does not have 93250 stamps anymore.

Gavidoc's 16800 is gen Yes it's a complete bezel assembly. Tc's bezel is ok but bezel teeth are quite different when compared to gen

Yes, same part reference different click

There is an update about this bracelet on TC's blog, price reduction because actually the bracelet has to be trimmed to fit. My appreciation again to TC for the honesty

Yeah the hole works to lean the screwdriver when resizing the clasp

Has anyone already seen it in person? Looks quite good from the pics, and he says "The bezel is polished and it is very crisp on all the edges"

Gen

I agree it's the best case around. But with gen parts and a SA3135 you'll be close to 3000$. In addition a gen crystal w/ar is not correct for that sub, unless you want to copy a serviced sub, and more expensive than a normal LEC one. Too much
