cib0rgman Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 My order came today and I snap some pictures for you to see, I order everything execept the crytsal (planing on getting a Gen one, but TC sent one for free if I do a review of the crystal to which I agree ), bracelet (waiting for better version) and insert (have a gen one) I tried to install the Gen insert and to my surprise it does not fit at all, I wonder if my insert is for a Seadweller; I will make time next week to this Baby together. on to the pictures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

watcher Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 I hope your insert is wrong as this would be a shame. If it was an sd insert the crystal will not fit through it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cib0rgman Posted February 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 The crystal is for a submariner for sure, but the outer diameter of the insert is too big for the bezel Sent from my SGH-i917 using Board Express Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cib0rgman Posted February 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 I see what you the SD crystal is smaller in diameter? Sent from my SGH-i917 using Board Express Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cib0rgman Posted February 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 here is a picture of the crystal and the insert together is goes fine over the crystal. I am thinking that the bezel is too small, which is big NO here..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woof* Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 SD insert is smaller inside, so it's possible you do have a SD insert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cib0rgman Posted February 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 SD insert is smaller inside, so it's possible you do have a SD insert. Well I can not tell for sure does anyone knows the diameter of the bezel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

its_urabus Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 I too hope it is a insert issue and not a bezel issue. keep us informed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tribal Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 (edited) SD insert is smaller inside, so it's possible you do have a SD insert. A SD Insert has smaller inner and outer Diameter. Also a SD Crystal has a smaller diameter than a Sub one. I think you have a Sub Insert a SD one is too small for a Sub. To fit a gen Insert is not that easy, it need some force to clip in. I think it's the usual issue on a Rep Bezel, the Insert needs to grind a bit?!? Edited February 15, 2012 by Tribal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_rymeister Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 Keep us posted buddy on the insert,I too haveva gen insert to fit I hope it goes in ok, I do remember tc saying something about having to press something when fitting insert? Not sure if it was pressing bezel onto case or pressing insert into bezel? I thought fitting insert was literally prising off bezel popping out insert and fitting new insert? I've never fitted one so Im not totally sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
its_urabus Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 this was on the Sean case, but the gen insert popped in after pressing pretty hard. i never thought it wouldnt fit, it seemed correct. does yours seem really big? or does it seem like it will go if you are stern with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_rymeister Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 Are they generally a tight fit? Ie needing a press? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tribal Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 Are they generally a tight fit? Ie needing a press? Yes but a press is not a tool to do it. There are several tutorials on the Net. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
