sneed12 Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 It is better, but only marginally. To most people they would look the same but having handled both I can tell you the Sean case is a tiny bit better. There's a fit and finish, especially inside the case, that the TC doesn't have. Not that the TC is at all bad, it's fantastic! The Sean case is just a little more fantastic... On the other hand the Sean case is a lot less forgiving of things like stem height. You can make a 2836 work in a TC v4 case, but even a 2824 is a tight squeeze in a Sean case. You really need either a 2892 or 3135 for a Sean case. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I build these watches in appreciation of the precision machines they are and when something is sloppy or shoddy it drives me effing batty! I wouldn't bother using something that's not 3135-based (maybe a 2892) in a sean case and I'd ALWAYS use a gen dial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
