Ah. That's pretty bad.

I liked this better when ebzen started the thread.. Back before it needed half the watch replaced with TC/gen stuff.

Great job! Lartamia that is a very informative post my friend. Great info!
You got rep points coming your way!

How long did you have to sand that dial. How did you get it even all the way round?

Well, I just recieved my BP Sub. Not what I was hoping for...the marker at 6 is really crooked. It looks way better in the pics than in person. Time to order a new dial, hands and bracelet from TC. Oh well!:thud:

You should be disappointed . You didn't even receive a Sub! You received a Seadweller !

Hopefully the BP maker takes note and creates V3 with better hands. It's essentially what's missing. I treat the bracelet like a rep strap..it's never good even on super reps so I always change it.

When a TD gives you a pile of cr@p You make it into a better of a pile of cr@p. I could not look at this thing any longer(even though i only had watch for about an hour) I removed the dial, popped the marker off, re-attached it and put everything back together. It's not perfect but its 100x better than before. I can at least wear it until I do the TC upgrades :cheese:

I don't blame you, I would've done the same. Much better!

Nice work mate. How hard was it to remove the crooked marker? What did you use to fix it back on the dial? Hypo cement?

Thanks Rudy for the kind words ;)

Uwe (FineDD, EU) did the modding for me and did it very well :)

He told me that the dial or alternatively the case had to be sanded about 1mm to fit the TC dial into the V2 case.

I think it's more easy to sand the case thought because the dial-painting can easily be damaged.

Still waiting on if anyone knows about the TC hands on the 21j?

I dont think they will fit mate as they are for the ETA versions so should fit the ETA 2836 and the A2836, although I could be wrong.
