Your other option would be, either buy or convert a swiss eta 2824-2 to #4 pinion height, this would then allow you to fit TC's hands.

I think I'll need something like this: http://www.startimesupply.com/product/ETA2824-0255-H4.html

@adrian has just finished my SD BP Franken. What should I say? Adrian is the one and only to do a build like this. The SD is one of the best builds I ever had - and I had some Franken in the past [emoji849] So a big thank You for Adrian, but also to Marin and Trasher who helped by answering stupid questions [emoji6]

Here are some fast pics. I will do a before/after comparison on weekend though...

The specs:

BP SD 16600
Gen ETA 2835 Tissot
Gen Crystal
Gen Bezel
Gen Insert
Gen Crown/Tube
TC SD Dial with TC KH LN markers
TC V6 Bracelet polished sides
TC V3 Hands
TC V4 DWO

Congratulations, same specs as mine.

It's a beauty and Adrian's work is rock solid I've hardly taken mine off for 6 months and it runs and looks incredible.

First of all thanks for the great replies you made all over the forum and this thread.

I'm a watchmaker amateur, I'll take this as a self learning project.
I wonder why not use eta 2824-2 as a 1:1 replacement instead of 2836 (daydate?) ,due to hand height?
I know that it will be an step forward if I use TC parts (crown, tube,...), my goal is to go slowly, step by step.

My plan is:

1. -Get an BPSD
2. -Change bracelet (TC)
   
3. -Change movement (because I want to learn about that) (ETA)
   
4. -At the same time if required or in next stage change hands, crown, tube (TC)
5. -To rob a bank and go gen parts.

Your list is fine from item1 to 2. To answer your question on whether you can use a Swiss eta 2824-2 as a direct replacement for the clone in the SD , yes you can.

However you will have to use the hands that came with the watch, TC's (or others) will not have long enough hand tubes to fit a standard configuration (#2) swiss eta 2824-2.

You may also come across issues with the DWO and the actual movement datewheel.

Your other option would be, either buy or convert a swiss eta 2824-2 to #4 pinion height, this would then allow you to fit TC's hands.

There is a post showing the hands and extended hand tubes within this thread. My preference is a 2836-2 for this watch, better date change and they already come as a stock item configured to #4 pinion height, so any swiss 2836-2 will have this stack height,

If I were you I would get a swiss 2836-2, pop that in with a TC DWO and practice your watchmaking on the clone.

Looks incredible. Can you comment on the tc sd markers vs the tc kh markers? I wish we could see a direct comparison

e.

The lume of the KH markers match the lume of the gen pearl perfectly and the rims of the markers are very shiny - they look more than white-gold like the rims of the TC dial.

yeah I noticed how nice the marker rims looked in your photo, that's what made me think of it

No. I took the markers from a damaged TC KH dial.
