BigNickD Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 I am interested in assembling the "Ultimate" Modern TT Sub Frankenwatch. In preparation for doing so, I have already acquired a Gen Dial and Insert. Now, what case do the experts here recommend? Do I order a straight Stainless MBW (knowing that I need to purchase an 18kt bezel and crown?) or the TT MBW? Any source for a good 14 or 18kt bracelet would be appreciated. Thanks for the assistance!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 TT MBW or a TT TW Best. You got to fit the gen dial in there and its a small dial, so you only have two options. I don't know about the TT WM9- might be a third possibility. Good luck on the bracelet- maybe what you get on the rep will suffice. Or you try the $350+ TT's on ebay and swap the clasp.

By-Tor Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 I don't like MBW and TW Best. They don't have good crystal/rehaut profile and look. Deep yes, but they simply look wrong. Noob is very good in this aspect, but then again the rehaut is shallow. I hate to say it, but the WM9 might be the best choice at the moment.

Shundi Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 The one I posted uses (as far as I know) a TW Best movement and a custom RepAustria case... Not sure how members feel about the rehaut depth on the one I just sold but it was always admired...perhaps contact member Avara to see how he did his or read http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showtopic=35247&hl= that thread...

Star69 Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 im with By-Tor : the MBW and TW-Best cases are dead wrong - the Noob a little better - but the rehaut is to shallow - this can be spotted easy even on the wrist the noob would be perfect for an 16800 but in your case i would try WM9 or decide if you can accept the flaws ... cheers, Frank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
