Today the TC dial arrived and I'm a little bit disappointed about the lume and the markers.

Did anybody ever switch the markers on a SD Dial or does anybody know if Adrian can do this? I'm asking because I have a TC KH Dial here laying around...
I had mine relumed too, but mostly because color of the hands were slightly different.

I just compared with the KH Dial and the rims are not that shiny and clean. The lume seems to be ok

Yeah I see what your saying they're either dirty or scratched, either way not ideal.

I think people have taken the kh markers off and applied them to the sd dial in the past.

Beautiful, I love how the low light catches the hands and indices and they shine against the black dial. So simple and elegant.

Thanks guys. If Adrian can't do this I will send the dials to Domi to do it. I can't spend so much money for gen crystal, bezel and so on and look at these terrible markers...

I did some toothpick-cleaning on the markers today. Seems there were some kind of corrosion on them. Some rubbing on the rims make them look much better now:

I used the search on this thread before asking but it is too difficult to find anything in 580 pages :)
So I plan to order an SD4000, but, I'm looking for the best stock dial.
I hesitate to order a BP or Noob v2 version. Can someone advise me ?


Thanks and sorry for the noob's question

Wow. Big improvement.
What solution did you use to clean them?

That was very lame before. Really poor QC from TC. Not the first time.


Looking for someone in Koh Samui, Thailand/ and Beijing, China. Pm me if you live there.

Well if you oder a bp than you can be part of the club and if you want to order a noob than we will tell you you are in the wrong thread. They are too completely different watches. Go on Google and search " 16600 vs 116600" to decide which you like. Then come back to the forum and decide if the rep of the one you like is close enough to gen for you

Thanks Maron for reply, i understand.I am in the wrong thread. 16600 is a terrific watch, but i don't have the budget and the patience for modding
Thanks again

watching the crownguard on the BPSD i've found (i don't know if know yet) that the crownguard used on the bpsd ( that is supposed to be a 16600), is the crown guard of the 16660 triple six.
can be undrstood from the three points un the crown rolex, which are smaller on the 16660 and bigger on the 16600.
anyway should i change it? and also anybody knows which kind of modify i should do, after tc bracelet and tube(crown?) where should i buy crown and tube?
