altesporsche Posted October 18, 2016 Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 Hey guys, i purchased this watch about a year ago as a TC sub. It looks and feels great in person aside from the bezel being stiff and missing the clicking. (Seller disclosed this prior) it came with a TC case with a TC insert in it and apparently the one in the watch is a gen and so is the crystal and crown. I took out the "TC" dial movement and stuff and installed a gen movement dial and hands.. but the crown wasn't sitting right in the case when not screwed in. Odd as it looks the right height from a quick look. The case is sterile between lugs and markings in the case are great. But doesn't seem to fit a gen movement for height. Can anyone tell me what this actually is ? It's not fitting my gen movement so I'm getting rid of it if I can identify it. Going to buy a V7 TC for the parts.

DVNE Posted October 18, 2016 Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 Sure looks like a TC case to me. Which direction is the stem height off? Dial side or caseback side? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
altesporsche Posted October 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2016 Stem height is off on the dial side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSTEEL Posted October 19, 2016 Report Share Posted October 19, 2016 Sure looks like a TC mid-case, but unsure which version, but nevertheless, a genuine 3135 should just drop in, so too a Yuki 3135, so a little unsure as to why your stem alignment is out. Is your dial fitted flush to the movement, and not raised at any point? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
altesporsche Posted October 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2016 Dial is flush to the movement and no areas looking out of place. It seems the movement sits too high in the case. Even the movement screws are out tobthe last thread to keep the movement in place. Odd.. I'll try fitting it again and see what happens. Cheers and thanks fellas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobandshawn Posted October 19, 2016 Report Share Posted October 19, 2016 Could it be a TC/WM9 case? B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
altesporsche Posted October 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2016 May very well be. It was sold to me as a V5 TC. Pid a lot for it and its quite nice as it sits, but I wanted it for a franken build and thats nott looking too good lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
