macjulivert Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 (edited) Snif-snif... But I have the new dial from BK.... And if I have a Sellita? The truth is that I am very pleased with BK's watch, the only thing I buy now, has been a new ring gear because the depth of the teeth of TWB not see well enough. I'll wait to arrive and will post some pictures. Edited January 24, 2012 by macjulivert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6now Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 (edited) Chefcook / its_urabus: Guys, would the SA3135 dial fit the Sean case? Not enough cash to buy the gen dial.... Edited January 25, 2012 by 6now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chefcook Posted January 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Yes, will work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fidhle007 Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 I thought the SA3135 dial was too big? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosnik Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 I thought the SA3135 dial was too big? Yes, it is biger. If you are telling about Puretime Sa3135 Sub Dial, it not fit in GEN or Etaswiss or TC case. It's too big, you need to mill a bit it. Wile you can use Etaswiss dial or Tc one too.

6now Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 Thanks for the replies. So the current dial in the TC case using the 2824- ETA can also be used for the SA3135 movement? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fidhle007 Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 I don't know for sure about the TC dial diameter, I should have one on hand soon enough and I will report back when I have it. I can guarantee you the feet will not line up though... If it does work, that's a very good option for those who already have Sean cases and are looking for internals.

Etaswiss and TC dials got Gen like feet position. Eta need different feet position. Not best, but you can glue dial to Eta movement. Please do not ruined the feet on a Gen dial!!!!!

Please do not ruined the feet on a Gen dial!!!!! The TC Dial DOES NOT have gen feet positioning nor is it the smaller gen diameter. This is bad news for those of us wanting a rep dial for our gen-dimensioned cases but it's good news for the TC case as it means it can take a larger rep dial like the WM9 cases in the past. This gives much fruit to the argument that it is indeed a WM9 V4 case... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watcher Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 Interesting as I have just fitted a gen dial in my tc case and yes I did cut the feet off!!!! My tc dial was exactly the same size as the gen dial but does have eta feet position. The dial is now for sale in parts section. Personally I think going to the expense I'd a gen 3135 is daft in this project so I prefer a strong running eta movement over the current batch of a3135's.

May be your one is outdate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find this really hard to believe, did you actually measure them with a caliper or are you just eyeballing it? It's a difference of less then half a millimeter but it's enough. Unless you've tried to fit a TC dial in a gen or ETASwiss case you may not see that it's too big. Sorry, not correct, I received last ETASWISS version dial, and it got right diameter and right feet . May be your one is outdate. I think you're confusing the TC dial and the ETASwiss dial. Current ETASwiss dials have proper diameter and gen feet positioning but no superlume, TC dials have the typical rep diameter, ETA feet and superlume. It's all about tradeoffs...

watcher Posted March 25, 2012 Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 To be fair I did not measure with a calliper, did not realise the difference was so small. All I can say is that the gen dial sits very well inside the case as it sits on top of the movement holder as it did in the wm9 v3 which the tc case is an Improvement on.

correctime Posted March 25, 2012 Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 Angus told me that a rep 3185 movement with correct hand stack will follow in about 4 to 6 months. I am already dreaming of building a 16710 or maybe 116710... Shouldn't be that vintage as I got it brand new in a modern (meaning closed plastic blister with RFID chip) packaging. - Case Set $460 - Watch with SA3135 $398 - Dial $260 - Hands $130 - Crown, Tube, Spring Bars and all case gaskets $180 - Crystal $140 - Date Wheel $45 - Bezel Insert $120 So roughly $1733 so far. For parts I have my secret sources... Secret source?? That's awesome...those are AD prices for a gen owner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
