The aftermarket gen click spring does fit and work well with this bezel. FYI

Good news, do you have a link to purchasing that click spring?

Helium valve is faux. Personally, I like that better.

Gen Crown will fit the tube but I think a TC or Gen tube would be better. This has about 1.5 good turns to lock.

Are you on repgeek? There has been a lot of discussion about this movement over there, I bet if you start a thread about the hands size you'll probably find an answer.

I was ... But now I don't have access ?? I don't know why it doesn't work anymore I used to browse there all the time.

Got mine today. Replaced the hands with Clark's and slapped it on a nato for the time being. The dates were all lined up pretty well, overall, for the price a very solid watch.

I got a pm on this too and I apologize for not including the link. Watchmaterial.com

I'll get the link when I am at work. It was 3.00. Lol

I bet the whole sale outlet ones would work too but I am not sure. I'll compare the lume dot tomorrow as well.

Looks great with the new hands. What movement do you have? Does the lume match?

I bought the version with the 2836 clone, which is keeping perfect time so far.

The hands from Clark are his Tudor sub hands for eta 2824/2836. They match the dial well, and lume colour as well. Unfortunately in terms of luminous values the hands do not shine as bright in the dark as the dial markers. Not a big deal for me.

That has to be the best date window on any rep dweller I have ever seen.

That looks much better.

I am sure most of these left justified one's can be fixed with a simple re-alignment of the existing date wheel.

Waiting on my parts from TC, and then will get it sent off for mods, hopefully the DW can be centered on mine :)

But the question is, do you feel it is an upgrade compared to the stock click spring? In that case I'll order it ASAP :)

I have read alot of pages in this thread but not all.
Was this available with ETA movement and is that the best choice if you plan to keep the watch for a while?
The prices that people wrote and all the good things people said about this is making me want one.

Were can I buy this?(would prefer in EU and a link would be much appreciated)

It is available with the ETA movement, although an Asian ETA movement would be just a good.

I have the swiss version, although would have bought the Asian ETA, I just bought what was available in stock at the time.

Sead has some in stock in the EU at the moment, link below, I think he has a swiss one, unless it has been sold.

Be careful though, choose from a TD that has both "high beat 21j" and "asian 2836". Someone in another post said that got the lower cost movement as an ETA clone but the TD didn't offer the lower cost mov't.

That is the spring I purchased. I believe Clarks, 9.00 (plus 3.00 shipping) spring will work just as well.

The rep spring stretches half way around the bezel. In my case, I had two spots where it was difficult to turn. The spring was a contributing factor (although the friction disk add most of it.) and because it was so long it had defection. This defection gave it some play left to right when clicking. The new spring is like 1/2" long if that. The wire is angled to get up in the notch. (every man's dream :rimshot:) This, for my watch, made it feel more solid.

PS: On the friction disk, I cannot figure out why my bezel has 2 spots that are difficult to turn, but I put some grease on mine and it helped, but I think a new disk would be good to try. I talked with Wholesale outlet and he said he is getting some in soon.

Wow, that is a massive improvement! The white hands really lighten up that watch. Great mod!
