BigNickD Posted May 14, 2008 Report 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!!!
alligoat Posted May 15, 2008 Report 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 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 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 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
