Gadget Man Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 Hi guys, I am looking for a little advice and wondered if you can tell which versions these are? Basically I have 2 TT Blue subs and this is an old one that I bought back in 2005 and was a daily wearer for about 4 months before the crown/tube lost its threads and now needs a repair (I'm hoping to hear from a UK repairer out there). I bought it as a gen ETA 2836 movement but it looks like a clone to me? My question with the TT sub is, do you know which version this looks like? and would you agree that it's a clone eta .....(and is ther a UK person that can offer a repair or wouldn't you bother)? The next is a Daytona that was bought in 2002 (I think) which has the post 2000 dail but has the seconds at 9 and not 6 as it should. I understand this is an asian 7750 movement and the chrono works as it should. The problem with this is I wore it a lot and used to swim in this watch and as you can see the sun has bleached out the 'Daytona' lettering. My question with this one, again do you have any idea's as to which version this is and should I replace the dail (maybe a pre 2000 dial so the seconds at 9 is correct), or just keep for parts in the future? I would appreciate your opinions and advice guys Thanks Simon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 Simon - Someone else can advise you on the TT Sub (Sub bling is not my thing), but if you can source a 1652x rep dial, I would also mod the crown guards & you could end up with a really nice watch. Or, assuming you find the dial & mod the CGs, you could take it a step further & move the movement/dial over to a low profile case, which would take it a step closer to a gen (I posted a tutorial on how to make the perfect 116520 Daytona last year, you can Search it out). Or, since it is working, just leave it as is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gadget Man Posted October 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 (edited) If someone can help me identify which version of the TT Sub I have I would appreciate it. It has a serial number R863698 and it also has a 120 'click' bezel and sold end links. Cheers Edited October 13, 2008 by Gadget Man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
