fedor33 Posted June 28, 2015 Report Share Posted June 28, 2015 Hi folks: I m in process of my TC 16610 Franken, and the original movement seems a bit far from what I expect; to updated it, is Yuki 3135 good enough, or I should go to the gen directly? I wish to hear from some experienced guys, thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misiekped Posted June 29, 2015 Report Share Posted June 29, 2015 Depends of your budget Yuki after service is a good movement And if you can spend more for few gen parts it's going to get you at $800 range Gen 3135 between $1500-2000 and you still need service Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will the case,dial, hand , tube and crown fit the movement? Is this a normal job for a common watch smith?

dbane883 Posted June 29, 2015 Report Share Posted June 29, 2015 You will need a gen dial,or clip the feet of the TC dial and secure with dial dots. Hands will have to be replaced with gen hands ($300-500) Crown and tube do not need to be replaced, but you will need a new stem. A Yuki or gen 3135 will fit in the TC case. A competent watchsmith should be able to do all of the above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
occb2 Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 Fedor33, Misiekped is the man when it comes to that. He did the exact thing you are asking for me. I had a 16610LV from TC and I used that case to put in a gen 3135. Then put the Yuki and the LV parts into a newer TC case. The older TC cases are better made.

freddy333 Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 If everything else is gen & you can afford the gen 3135, why would you not buy the gen? The contrary is also true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fedor33 Posted July 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 Thanks for the advices from all ur guys; I have calculated before, a fully Franken is even more expensive than a Gen. That's why I was wondering Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would rather buy a gen than spend more than 50% price of gen on a franken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
