jigelow Posted November 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2014 He's selling a ST3035. Won't work with y3135 without modifications. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted November 13, 2014 Report Share Posted November 13, 2014 He's selling a ST3035. Won't work with y3135 without modifications. This is correct, but I have a 2834-2 in my ST3035 case and a 2836-2 will also work. Finding a ST3135 would be cheaper than a TC case, and they used to come with lugholes. They run around $200 with the bezel and crystal, I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jigelow Posted November 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2014 That's good to hear. I already have a gen 295 on the way, so won't need the crystal. I just need to actually hunt the case down. I still need to buy a snowblower, too. Too many expenses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pseudonym Posted November 13, 2014 Report Share Posted November 13, 2014 (edited) My matte dial 16800 was finished recently after a long wait for everything to fall into place. I managed to source an open 6/9 DW from VRF. It fits the Y3135 perfectly. Spec is ST3135 case/caseback/full bezel assembly serviced Y3135 Gen cal 3135 DW from early trit 16610 Gen 703 crown Gen 7030 tube Gen No LEC crystal Gen matte dial Y3135 hands Gen trit insert WSO 501b end links PureTime 93150. I'll likely replace the endlinks, bracelet & caseback for gen once so have spare funds. The final piece of the puzzle will be getting the case engraved from phone with correct 5mil serial.

Good luck!! For some reason I can't post the whole link... Anywho just search for 3135 DW & it's around the 3rd thread down.

jigelow Posted November 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 Well, slight step back. Just got the crystal I bought on eBay. It looks like it may be a 25-127. Any way to authenticate them? I'm thinking it'll just be easier to send it back. FYI, there were no profile shots and the seller "guaranteed" it was a 25-295 for a 16610.

I head from the seller today, & unfortunately it's bad news. He only has a cal 3035 left. Might be an idea to post a WTB around all the gen fora for what you need. Best of luck!

jigelow Posted November 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2014 Bummer. Really appreciate the effort, though. Really above and beyond. I'll keep you guys posted in my search for the date disc and case set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jigelow Posted November 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 I know patience is the key in this hobby, but damn I'm antsy to find a case. I think I'm going to get a modern date disc so I can begin assembly but keep looking for an open 6/9. It's torture having all these parts lying around and nothing I can do with them. I feel like a kid before Christmas that found where his folks hid the toys. All I can do is look at them in their packages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
