OK guys. Expecting a few responses here.
in a dilemma about doing this, should I change the TC movement for a Yuki 3135 and gen hands, if only to get the correct winding , or keep at is.
Thoughts?
i know dial will need sticky dots, and movement service.

This^^^. Only thing worth considering is swap the movement if it starts to act up (only swap to a eta2824 and have your watchsmith carry over the h4 pinion for correct hand height and the date wheel of course). A genuine crystal, non AR none lec might offer an incremental improvement in clarity, but not enough to make it worth it. Insert, again, not enough to make it worth it. The TC elabore movement is solid and more reliable than a sh 3135, and by the time you're done, you would be better off starting with a startime midcase and building it vs pulling everything off of the TC v7 and swapping it. The sh 3135 would require a genuine datewheel, hands, dial (or clipping the dial feet off of the TC dial), etc.

Rx4Time thanks for the info , I do have gen insert and crystal, so will remain happy.

I know it's not period correct but I would add an AR / black hole crystal.

You can take a VR3135 in it.
Great movement , I have it in my LN and LV.

Keep your TCV7 stock. Only reccomend swapping in a gen ETA 2824 and H4 CP.
Then get yourself JF 16610 and Franken the hell out of it.

Like others said stock is fine, I have 2 16610's one tc and one jf with identical mods, gen insert, crown, xtal, tc dwo on the jf and a tc clasp. I'll probably get muted for saying this but they're identical, no real differences between them.
