Thanks mate.
- Gen insert
- TC bracelet v6 93250
- TC crown
- gen spec xtal
- new eta2836
- TC V2 Hands
- TC Dial
- Relume by zocker and he did some work to the bracelet.

I think that's about it.

Many thanks to @Turbo350z for giving the tip about the tc bracelet. This one is much better than the TC bracelet for the SD. Perfect sel!

And many thanks to Dirk @zocker4711 for doing a great lume job and perfect work on the bracelet. He is the best and really knows his watches!

@Turbo350z @Thrasher I was discussing the xtal with Dirk as he felt it was on the low side.
Do we have any idea how high an original xtal sits?
Does anybody know if there is difference in thickness between the wso xtal and a gen xtal?

Did Adrian [MENTION=45516]ado213[/MENTION] do your crystal? On my watch I specified that the crystal sit on the low side of genuine, There is a slight variation in genuine crystal height when its set into the case by Rolex. I dont know about genuine 16600 crystals but i know between I think the 116610 and 116710 the crystals are 1.8mm and 2.0 mm

Haha no way i'm wearing it now. It's not leaving my wrist for at least the next couple months it's been away too long now. As i said it doesn't bother me a lot. Maybe this winter i'll have it changed and might put in a gen xtal. But does anyone know how high the xtal sits on gen?

HEV or HRV has less to do with how deep you dive but, how long the divers are living and working in a pressurized environment. The only thing it's used for is saturation diving. This is a type of diving used in the underwater construction industry. They have to replace the nitrogen in normal air with helium. It's the helium which requires the HRV and that' when the divers are returning to the surface and going through the decompression stages. It's during decompression that the helium molecules that have passed through the watch's gaskets can explosively decompress if the watch is not HRV equipped. If you want to know more about saturation diving Google it, cause it' a very interesting technical subject and I've left out a lot of details.

Yea I can copy and paste!

Meanwhile it´s been over 3 years of fun with my 16600 Seadweller, and it´s seen some use in every single one of those 38 or 39 months.
