Just noticed how the lume on the hands is greenish while lume on the dial is white. This is a pretty visible tell. Maybe new hands are needed...

Check out this gen for comparison...

The latest release case, crystal, CGs, dial, insert and pearl look damn close to my eye. You may have a point about the hands, but it's an easy fix if required. Will TC's SD hand set fit a clone 2836 movement?

Should fit. Eta 2824 and 2836 hands are interchangeable. TC hands are for eta 2824.

Does anyone know if there are other good aftermarket hands?

I have a feeling TC stock of 16600 parts will dry up fast with this new release...

Just noticed this on mine as well, although not noticeable on the wrist.

The lume on the dial is a bright white, very similar to the lume on my TC sub, the lume on the hands looks like an off white, slightly grey/white from certain angles.

I reckon a set of TC hands as PJ mentioned would fix the issue, of having the hands resumed should fix it.

To sum it up, if you:

-install TC hands and DW
-put on TC bracelet (or a nato)

We have a sea dweller rep with NO tells!

Or am I missing something
?

Yeah I reckon that is about all that is needed to make it near perfect.

the stock datewheel is not that bad. afaik TC datewheel is slightly too wide to the left alligned. no need to change imho. BK dwo might be an improvement...

the crown needs to be changed, the stock one is off.

I'll upgrade mine with a full TC package, maybe one day a gen crystal. the watch is a keeper, for sure.

why don't you ask Sead (supermirrors)?
he is way cheaper than Trusty+PerfectClones, plus he is a trusted dealer here

TC has a new datewheel in the making...

I'm sure the insert needs to sit a bit lower in the bezel. Which will bring g the crystal up a bit. :wacko:
