fidhle007 Posted May 8, 2013 Report Posted May 8, 2013 Pretty much all gen except the case and bracelet now:Modern Luminova Dial for functionality and that "RSC" look:Oh yeah, and this:
SSTEEL Posted May 8, 2013 Report Posted May 8, 2013 Looks good my friend. Your case lugs just need finishing, and thats beauty. Don't you just love frankening?
fidhle007 Posted May 8, 2013 Author Report Posted May 8, 2013 Don't worry, the case will get worked over soon enough if it doesn't get swapped out first!
alligoat Posted May 8, 2013 Report Posted May 8, 2013 Looks good! Is this the ST case? Now days you're seeing more 16800s with the upgraded dials and hands.
chibiunko Posted May 8, 2013 Report Posted May 8, 2013 Now if that 16800 had a nice Matte Dial..... would be the bees knees
fidhle007 Posted May 8, 2013 Author Report Posted May 8, 2013 Can't read a matte dial in the middle of the night!
gavidoc Posted May 9, 2013 Report Posted May 9, 2013 Can't read a matte dial in the middle of the night! Unless you relume one with pbdad. Got a spare and did that for my 16800. Nice work.
jpz5142 Posted May 9, 2013 Report Posted May 9, 2013 Unless you relume one with pbdad. Got a spare and did that for my 16800. . Doc is that a ndt dial?
Ephry73 Posted May 9, 2013 Report Posted May 9, 2013 I like my dials to have character. My 16610 gen T dial and hands still glow after all this time. I just can't see it until my eyes get used to the dark(like when I wake up at 4a.m. To walk my dog) 1
gavidoc Posted May 9, 2013 Report Posted May 9, 2013 Doc is that a ndt dial? All gen. My original tritium hands and dial are tucked away.Got a 2nd matte dial that had the tritium washed off and had it relumed. Got some service hands, gen LV insert, 93250 bracelet and there you have it, a 16800LV.

Got some service hands, gen LV insert, 93250 bracelet and there you have it, a 16800LV. Ok that makes some sense. I am thinking of a 16800 build in my future and I too like lume on my dials and was not fond of a gen tritium dial that I would relume.
fidhle007 Posted May 13, 2013 Author Report Posted May 13, 2013 Does anyone know what the lume is like on the NDT matte dials?
Ephry73 Posted September 16, 2013 Report Posted September 16, 2013 Old post revival. Call me Jeeeezus! Fid, is that movement gen on the OP? E
highoeyazmuhudee Posted September 16, 2013 Report Posted September 16, 2013 Unless you relume one with pbdad. Got a spare and did that for my 16800.ImageUploadedByTapatalk 21368094278.056645.jpg Nice work. glad it was revived THAT is awesome looking! not an LV fan, but with the matte dial it is def better than the original modern LV. was it determined if this was a startime case? 1
gavidoc Posted September 18, 2013 Report Posted September 18, 2013 mine is a gen. Double O's not sure about.
fidhle007 Posted October 8, 2013 Author Report Posted October 8, 2013 I have no idea what you're talking about with the case ;-) It's from someplace called "ST" you see... They've since discontinued the 3035 case which is a shame because it was a lot better then the 3135 case they offer. Yes, movement was gen but I purchased it as "Serviced" from Correctime here and it was definitely not serviced. I sent it back to him to have it redone and he went dark leaving me out about $1500... I have rebuilt this sub with a chronometer grade 2824 and TC dial and it's SCARY accurate! Better than some gens I've seen actually... I will be parting ways with this sub soon though, the financial hit of the stolen movement is still lurking and it's somewhat soured the pride I gained in building it. Keep an eye in the FS section if you need one! ~Brendan

Keep an eye in the FS section if you need one! ~Brendan Shame about Correctime and his 110% gen issues. I hope you get that back brother. The 2824-2 TC movement is very good also. I have been running a TC with this setup and dead on. For a 16800 build the 2824-2 may be a good option, plus the hands move in the correct direction in relation to the crown. E
fidhle007 Posted October 8, 2013 Author Report Posted October 8, 2013 I used a modified TC ring but the movement is one I lucked out on on the bay, it's a much higher grade than TC's options... :-) I've used his with great results as well but I couldn't let this one pass me by! 1
fidhle007 Posted October 10, 2013 Author Report Posted October 10, 2013 The 3035 is CCW like the ETA movements. One major difference is that the DW advances CCW on the 3035 though.
Ephry73 Posted October 10, 2013 Report Posted October 10, 2013 The 3035 is CCW like the ETA movements. One major difference is that the DW advances CCW on the 3035 though. YES! This is why for the 16800 the ETA is a good sensible choice. The date wheel change orientation is not too bad a deal breaker for me as long as I can find a good date disc for it. I may actually use that approach in the end and use the 3135 for the 16600 when TC decides to get some good cases, or for my v3 16610. We should do a group buy of good quality round threes open 6/9 date discs for the ETA. E
fidhle007 Posted October 11, 2013 Author Report Posted October 11, 2013 I have a beautiful one in now that I picked up for a song on the forums but I have no idea who made it...
6now Posted October 11, 2013 Report Posted October 11, 2013 The 3035 is CCW like the ETA movements. Thanks for the clarification
