That is a terrific shot! I had trouble seeing which was which. Those dials are sooooo close as is the insert. Even the bezel teeth look equally as deep. I too am thinking about a xtal swap, but damn if that isn't a major example of the point-of-dimidhing-returns.
My rule of thumb is that if I can't see the difference with the naked eye, I've hit that point. Granted, my eyes aint what they used to be.
Cheers.

Thx bro. They are really close. SD a little smaller but with the watch I am building being over 20 years old it looks perfect to me! Just picked up a gen bracelet today. I couldn't resist .. Now only 2 rep parts are case and yuki mvmt. Man I hope this one turns out as good as it looks in my head. Lol

Hey guys. There is a bpsd for sale on m2m that has a tc 2824 movement. I know most of you guys use a 2836 but I forget why. Is there any reason I should not want a 2824?

Thanks

If you are planning on using TC hands, you will need the 2836, or you will need to change all the pinions on the 2824 to H-4.

As it stands, the 2824 has the H-2 setup and the factory BP 2824 uses hands with extra long tubes to make up that difference.............

[MENTION=42327]Raddave[/MENTION] the one I'm talking about I'm told has a tc 2824 elaborate, don't all tc's come stock with h-4? It also already has tc dial, hands dwo installed. I was planning to order a $178 bpsd with the 2813 this week and upgrade it to an eta 2836 but I thought this might be a shortcut. I want to do it right though

[MENTION=54070]bgreg[/MENTION] I know! I still haven't pulled the trigger. Almost bought a couple Frankens but ended up making two other purchases since. Plus I'm still keeping money aside for if/when a certain someone decide to part with a franken PO :)

[MENTION=82129]Thrasher[/MENTION] but what we really want is 2836. I'm going to order the 2813 for $178 since I'll be upgrading the movement anyway

[MENTION=96825]MaronAckay[/MENTION] I agree but we aint getin that right now, Your smart to order yours with the cheap 2813 I just wasted money on the 2824 because I immediately had [MENTION=57548]Tagfan1[/MENTION] rip it out and with Adrian put in all TC plus gen crown and insert , gen spec crystal [MENTION=45516]ado213[/MENTION] and new O Frei 2836.

I did just order all new cartel 5513 FT first, 5513 3,6,9. 1665 DRSD and a 5517 military all from Sead and all with 2813. $119 each and free shipping because Sead is COOL! Will see what I keep and what I mod.

[MENTION=82129]Thrasher[/MENTION] sounds like you got some new toys!

I'm worried that if I get all these parts together I won't be able to find someone in North America to assemble it and do the casework. Is [MENTION=57548]Tagfan1[/MENTION] taking on projects? He could do the entire project for me right?

What are you looking to get done? Plenty of people in North America that can do the job for you depending on what you want done??!! Check my build thread I just put up.

[MENTION=57136]Turbo350z[/MENTION] nothing like yours! Lol

Tc dial, tc hands, tc dwo, tc bracelet, gen crown/tube, gen insert, eta 2836-2 with h4, bezel spring. I would like to have someone shape the cg's and bezel teeth and install.

I've never done a build before so
