quaresma7 Posted June 30, 2013 Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 (edited) Hi guys! I'm thinking to make a franken 16610 with gen tritium dial but I'm not 100% sure about the specs of that. Wich is the best case, TC or Startime?! With ETA 2824 or yuki 3135!? Basically I'm thinking about two options... First option would be: - TC Case - TC Hands - Eta 2824 with TC DW - Gen Crystal - Gen Crown and Tube - Gen Dial - Gen tritium Insert - Bisel?! Not sure about that.. And the second option: - TC or 3135 Startime case (I don't know wich is the best..) - Yuki 3135 movement - Gen DW - Gen hands (good option about aftermarket hands for 3135 movement?!) - Gen Crown and Tube - Gen Dial - Gen tritium Insert - Bisel?! What do you think guys?! Please help me Edited June 30, 2013 by quaresma7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosnik Posted June 30, 2013 Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 2nd sure better. ST case is sterile, but beter than TC or Etaswiss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seafoam Posted June 30, 2013 Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 From what I've seen, ST's case case stubby cg's. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. see below (borrowded the image, sorry): how do i print screen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted June 30, 2013 Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 If you're going to use a tritium dial, you need a case with lugholes. So you either drill the TC case or use a ST3135 case which has lugholes.The ST case isn't perfect, but it's ok and would probably be the easier choice. For a bezel assembly, you can use any decent aftermarket assembly, but you may have to do some sanding, etc. to make it fit.It's too bad the MBW case with lugholes isn't around anymore- mine is an A serial Euromariner. I put a Clark's crystal and good aftermarket bezel with a gen crystal retaining ring on it and now it's WR. A few months ago I put a WM9 dial and some TC hands on it. It's got a gen crown and tube, and gen 501B end pieces on an MBW 93150. Inside is a swiss eta 2836-2. I'd thought about putting a relumed tritium dial on there, but the SL of the WM9 dial and the TC hands is cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
