alligoat Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 Heh, heh, Indy! Hope you survived the hurricane alright! I think you've found the 'Sean at ETASwiss' case we looked at last week! It's a 16610 case with the correct high crown position. Sean, River and Eddie Lee all had access to the TW Best stuff which may be loosely tied into the MBW cases and this could be the latest case along that line of evolution and improvement. This could be a very good case if you had a 3135 movement and wanted to build a 16610 franken. The 3035 and 3135 Subs take different cases though- rehaut on 16800 Subs is much shallower, so someone needs to tell Sean to scratch the 3035 designation. If you could fit a 2824-2 or a 2892-2 with a Stilty spacer ring in it, you could build a nice franken with the correct high crown position. A few gen parts and you might just have the 'perfect sub' rep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indyberetta Posted October 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 Hey friend! How have you been? I went over 2 weeks without electricity so it was not fun at all!!! I was kinda thinking down the same lines as what you said above. I have someone that wants to trade me for a 3135 and I thought that might just be the trick to doing a "perfect sub"! I hope to see you at the next gtg! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 I don't know if anyone has bought this case yet. I've heard from BK that WM9 is working on a new 16610 w/ correct crown position and a 2892-A2 movt. If you've got a 3135 and this case, you'd be 80% of the way there. Then it would just be a matter of a few more gen parts. I'm ready for a gtg, but I'm busy hunting and going to Playa at Thanksgiving. Guess we need to roust up B & B and R and the rest of the gang.

jdavis Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 I'm certain that this is a nice case but, isn't $610 plus shipping a hefty price for a TW rep case? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indyberetta Posted October 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 I agree. Where else might I be able to get a orig quality case to fit my 3135 Rolex movement? I'm certain that this is a nice case but, isn't $610 plus shipping a hefty price for a TW rep case? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fakemaster Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 You'll never get called out on it if that's what you're asking. A little pricey though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slickdick Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 Might want to hold on to your cash, Sean told me 904L steel version will be released next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poopypants Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 Might want to hold on to your cash, Sean told me 904L steel version will be released next year. how does one VERIFY that it is indeed 904L? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdavis Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 how does one VERIFY that it is indeed 904L? You will need to find someone or a metallurgical lab that can test the metal on a Rockwell hardness scale. A sharp eye might be able to spot a variation in color as well as the brightness of the polished metal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolex001 Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 904L has no higher Rockwell hardness than 316L - so that's a no go. You should send it to Rolex Geneva for authentication - they can determine the Steel grade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
