So they came today but no one was home to sign for them so I will pick them up tomorrow BP SD and NOOB FF No Rads. Funny that on this same day TC emails me and says he is sending me a free dial and hands tomorrow!!! Pretty Sweet if you ask me! Now I will see about the insert , Pearl and bracelet and ask for your opinions. I have WM pearls on hand but if the font on the insert blows I will get a genuine from TRF, and if TC has a tighter SEL I will grab up one of his bracelets too.

Just arrived from Sead today. I'm impressed SEL looks great to me, Insert is great but maybe I will get a genuine and definitely need Genuine Crown and Tube or WSO tube. Bracelet I think is great Dial and Hands I'm no expert but it looks great, But since TC is sending me Dial and hands for free WTF why not. If you guys see anything I'm not catching speak up, Crystal is High Tagfan might have to address that.

The font on the insert looks kinda big to me????

Congrats it looks pretty good out of the box... I like the thick font on the insert?... Look like the DW is a tad left justified but other than that and crystal height the CGs and overall package look pretty dam good
Wear it in good health bro!

Thanks Rudy, One thing for sure I'm really impressed with the Dial hands and bracelet and SEL fit for the money this has got to be one of the best rep values I have found to date. Funny that TC should email me a month or two weeks after I contacted him but on the exact day I get the watch and say he is mailing me a dial and hands for free.

Does anyone know what the genuine Crystal height is?

I don't like a crystal that sits to high , Unfortunately I don't have anything to compare it to except my TC 16610 LN V6 in that comparison its high for sure almost twice as high. with the limited measuring tools I have it seems to be a just over 1mm while the TC V6 is just about half of 1mm.

Yup, the Gen SD crystal height is much taller than 16610. Your BP SD crystal height looks correct.

Well than I think I might skip lowering the crystal. Of course if I do the Ado213 mod I can install a genuine crystal, WSO crystal (ordered and shipped) or apparently some German guy on the Bay has good crystals. So far the situation is this BNIB gen Insert and BNIB gen Crown ordered off TRF, WSO tube ordered and free TC Dial and Hands on way. I think the bracelet is great and really the Dial and Hands are great but since TC is sending stuff for free I might as well, Tagfan will do all the work plus his usual case work.

OK so the flat 4 is for the older models with lugholes and stainless HE valves?

Correct. If you are going to the drill the lug holes than flat four will be what you want. If you are leaving luggs how they are then pointy 4 will be what you want.
