Loving your work!. I’ve been trying to source a TCV4 for mine but I’m guessing I’m going to have to go down the genuine DWO like you have.

It’s a nice upgrade and you can find them on here, used, for good prices if you are not in a hurry.

Next step gen dial? :D

It would be nice, ARF dial is fine but it’s indices are quite different to gen.

I don’t like the idea of spending £500 on a dial to mutilate it and stick it to my ETA with dial dots.

Noob question Is "tube" the watch stem?

No such thing as a noob question.

The tube is the part that screws into the case, which the crown then screws onto.

The stem passes through the tube.

Why spend 1k when is almost perfect? I keep saying to myself :p

because of the better indices :p

btw. i unscrew my crown and something interesting happened. So my datewheel was slightly misaligned to the top. After i unscrewed the crown (which was fucking hard screwed in) the wheel jumped into the right place oO now its perfect.

Ahhhh thank you. I thought that part was molded into the case itself.

for 6.95 € it has an amazing quality and free shipping. Very impressed because i had used this shitty "toolkits" from Amazon which has just the worst screwdrivers ive ever seen lol

I have installed TC DW, gen ETA and gen crystal, I will have the watch back in the next couple weeks but I now have a gen as well for the last month or so... gen dial and hands have good lume unlike the stock ARF but this is a rather minor detail for someone to really deal with it

No substitute for good tools. Those cheap kits from amazon are crap - more change of damaging your watch than fixing it.

Well I had the ARF for some time and now the gen for month maybe, I can tell you that the gen lume last much longer so there is nothing to compare, it is not a big issue and many would not even care to notice... my gen insert already has been given to my modder Johny Depp

Rolex need to ditch ceramic and replace with Adamantium, what good is scratch proof if the bloody things snap???

Back to the drawing board with this one.
