K thanks

Great info... Can you confirm the case is the same for all these movements? I was going to get the 2813 low beat and swap it out for a gen 2836. Z2 or what the dealers are calling 2813 high beat is the other option. I'm planning on doing the TC mods at the same time and possibly a gen bezel assembly.

Well actually they can come with a ETA 2824, ETA 2836
A2824,A2836, DG4813, Z2 POS clone...all high beats, with the A2824, A2836, DG4813, and Z2 all being cheaper

Seems like the 4813s are making a comeback to a degree

The 2813 is a low beat but Z2 is also improperly being called a "2813 high beat "
I think the 4813s might also now

Case is the same, dial and hands might not change over, depending on which one you get

I've read several people say that the tc dial wasnt a big improvement. I was thinking about just using the BP dial but if doesnt work it doesnt work.

Guys, after this I will either go Gen or cherish this baby for the rest of my life LOL....

After 3 months of hoarding parts I finally received the long awaited Gen Bezel Assembly. Adrian already has the BP Case with TC Tube and TC Dial and TC Bracelet. Now it just needs his wonderful magic to make this Franken baby come alive. So total parts list will be:
- BP SD 16600 Case
- ETA movement (not sure yet which one)
- TC 16600 Dial
- TC V4 DWO
- TC 16610 Hands (otherwise the 16600 hands)
- TC Tube
- TC Bracelet
- Gen 93160 Clasp
- Gen 704 Crown
- Gen 285 xtal
- Gen 16600 Bezel Assembly

Sounds like your build is pretty similar to mine! Wish I would have known u needed gen bezel assembly. I have a brand new extra one! And a brand new extra gen xtal. Lol

Adrian will do a wonderful job!

[MENTION=105293]pokerhard[/MENTION] if u tend to keep the BP dial, i suggest u take the z2 high beat-since its clone of A 2836-2, dial and hands are interchangeable with 2836-2.
But if u tend to use both TC dials and handset,take the 2813 for cheaper.

It looks like most people are saying the markers are nicer on the TC dial. I guess its worth it to just do both from TC. [MENTION=88111]Sub007[/MENTION] Looking forward to seeing if the TC 16610 v2 hands work as they are supposed to be nicer. Are 16610ln hands and 16600 hands the same? I saw a thread on TRF where a guy had LV hands in his... http://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=161230

So as I follow this conversation I have to wonder what is the Difference between the TC 2015 16610LV V2 hand set for $50 , The TC 16610 V2 hand set for $50 and the hand set that comes with the TC 16600 Dial & Hand set?????

Size? Shape? Color? Quality?

@Raddave @MSAMatt @Garyb @misiekped @Turbo350z @zocker4711 @Subjeff

well we are not sure about the size yet but the main advantage AFAIK is the capped (or more capped) center cap on the seconds hand

[MENTION=44759]mech500[/MENTION] was recommending I use the tc 16610 v2 hands over the tc 16600 hands as the v2 have a more gen 3d effect. I asked ado about it and he said he has yet to install a set on a bpsd. Maybe someone can ask tc if they would be a match for the bpsd

So this is TC answer, its a bit vague to say the least.

The LV and 16610 have different shape size hands.


The V1 vs V2 is more of a minor improvements of different aspect of the hands.

@Raddave @MSAMatt @Garyb @misiekped @Turbo350z @zocker4711 @Subjeff

 

[mech500]

16610, 16600,16800 hands are interchangeable. They are the same size/spec.

If TC and BPSD watches are gen spec (can accept gen dial and crystal) then you can interchange TCv2 hands with a perfect match.

I have used TC v2 hands on various vintage builds (slow beat and fast beat ETAs) - so can't see any reason why TCV2 hands won't work on an ETA/clone based BPSD.

Good luck chaps

Are 16610ln hands and 16600 hands the same?

Yes. 16610, 16800, 14060, 16600 hands are the same spec.

Therefore can't see why TCv2 hands won't work on a BPSD.

http://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=357808

Also, has anyone tried to use KH hour markers on a TC SD dial?

 

[Thrasher]

Why do you think TC has TC V2 16610LV hands and TC V2 16610 hands??? I guess maybe slight difference in shape/size like he says. I get the TC 16600 Dial and hands those are probably NOS TC which will eventually run out? V1?

Thank you for your input

Lv has a thicker minute hand but hour and seconds hand are the same. Fairly common knowledge really.

Really, Thanks!

 

[fcb1900]

So are the LV V2 incorrect from hour size?

I'm pretty sure the hour hand is also thicker on the lv than the ln. Both minute and hour are maxi
