cougar1 Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 Quick question, take an empty TC case, remove entire tw best movement including movement holder and try slot it into a tc case, will it work, will there be issues with the 2836 and stem tension in the tc? For that matter is it possible to remove an entire tw bezel with gen insert and put it on tc case also? In fact lets rip out the gen crystal in a tw and transfer that also. Silly questions yes, but I'd like answers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
correctime Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 (edited) The gen crystal will fit perfectly with the correct gasket. You may do better to pull the entire bezel (crystal ring included) and press it onto the TC. (it should fit that way but I've never tried it.) But then again, the top of the TW crystal ring is likely to have been shaved down a bit to fit the gen insert....not sure if a TW bezel ring fits the TC crystal ring correctly. I don't believe the 2836 will fit the TC case well due to the higher crown position as you've mentioned.

irolexu Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 Well I did read today that someone successfully put a 2836-2 in a TC case. I would give it a shot and see what happens. great questions though as I to have a franken TW that I am getting edgy with as I want a TC or sean built sub now...I too want to transfer over my gen xstal, insert, crown and tube good luck and let us know what you end up with! a lot of TW guys probably want the TC now...

jasf2002 Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 I fitted my TW bezel straight on to the TC crystal retaining ring and had no issues. I did this as the gen inset would have to have been slightly sanded round the edge to fit the TC bezel - not the case with my TW. The TC bezel ring does not need sanded as it has a different profile. No idea with the movement but doubt you could use the movement ring and tabs as TC case is designed like gen which is different so you would need to try it with the TC movement ring. My pers view is that the way that the TC movement ring works is far superior to the tab approach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6now Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 Looks like it works. If so, this is good news to TW owners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cougar1 Posted April 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 Cheers guys, great info, and glad to see the entire bezel fit fine without bother. I thought I saw too that someone transplanted an entire 2836 in the TC case and had no problems with stem height...but I can't find the thread. The had to use the TW movement holder obviously. If anyone confirms it, let us know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irolexu Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 If someone can PM me or tell me straight up that a 2836-2 will work I will buy a TC case right meow... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

correctime Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 (edited) Check this thread http://www.rwg.cc/to...__fromsearch__1 Crown position is on par with wm9 v1 BK TW crown height is on par with the TC 16610 crown height?? That's not what I gather but crown height has never been an issue for me. Which is why I'm sticking to the TW But the question is...will the BK TW guts fit into a TC case issue free ?? Meaning will the 2836-2 fit the TC case..?? Due to crown height I'm saying I don't believe it will be a straight drop in...but I really don't know.

correctime Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 Thanks Star. Perfect fit with which adaptor...2836 or 2824? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cougar1 Posted April 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 Excellent, cheers! same question as correctime, ...I'm assuming the tw holder is needed also to get correct fit?, if it goes on the TC movement holder then it's a surprise?

fredfree Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 Any news on this ? I m as well interested in transferring tw parts (bezel ass. + clark crystal + 2836-2 movement+ dial and hands) in a TC case. Any further info will be appreciated !

sneed12 Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 I have done it. The TW movement ring does not work. The stem position is workable but not ideal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
correctime Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 I have done it. The TW movement ring does not work. The stem position is workable but not ideal. This is interesting. Which adaptor did you use to get as close as possible and eliminate all the stem pressure as possible ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredfree Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 Stem position workable but not ideal is ok for me. Sneed can you please indicate the correct movement holder. Do all the other parts fit on the case with no mod ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
