Hello fellas,
I was a happy tc v6 16610 owner for some years. I had purchased it fully modded from a geek from here or another board i can't remember. It has gen crystal no AR no LEC , gen insert and gen crown. A few years ago tc 2824 died and i installed a gen 2824 since i was so happy with the build.
Last month i had sent it to my local watchsmith. He was supposed to clean the watch and service the movement but he somehow f*cked up the crystal gasket. I guess he pressed the bezel too much and not evenly so the watch now is not waterproof. It gets water from the 6 o'clock position. Besides the bezel click is definitely much more loose now and there is a silly play in the bezel.
I need your help to recover it.
I like the shine on the edges of the gen crystal so i think it needs a high gasket.
Which gasket should i buy? Clark 2.85mm or 3.00 mm or 2.70mm ? Maybe a tc gasket would be better but i don't think i can find one easily. I don't trust my watchsmith a lot so i need your advices. Also do you think i will need a new clickspring as well? If so which one do you advise?
And finally, the gen crown had some issues since last year. It sometimes catches the winding/quickset system but mostly turns loose. My watchsmith had told me that it was due to a crack inside the crown which causes it not to catch the stem. I was OK to live with it but do you think it can be fixed or will i need to buy a new gen crown?( i am really enjoying the shine on the gen crown with light). If so will i need a gen 703 or 704 crown?
Thanks for your helps. It would be great if you can direct me to the sources to buy the parts ot maybe you also have some spare parts to sell too ?
Here is my baby... Needing some care
