Ok i need your help guys! Most of you know i'm in to building TC sub with a lot of gen parts but i'm in a little bit dilema right now and could use some help!
The original idea was to put the gen LN dial in my TC and change the dial to the LN one and make the watch LN. But now i understand that the dial will have to be modified to fit TC 2824 and in case i one day change my mind i will never be able to sell that dial agai!
So my dilema right now is should i go for the Yuki 3135 and fit the gen dial, modify the one i have and use it with TC movement or source one more gen insert the LV one and use it for now and decide later what to do with the LN dial i have?
Is Yuki movement the good one?
I have a lot of money invested in gen parts so far and few houndreds dollars more wouldn't be a problem ( new LV insert maybe ) but i really don't know what to do!

To make the long story short, if you have TC watch, gen LN black insert, gen LN standard dial, gen crystal, gen crown and the gen 93250 clasp what would you do????

Please i would like as many ideas as possible!!!!!! Moders are welcome to jump in as well ;)

I'm a little confused in your sentences so pardon me if I got it wrong. But as I understood it, I suggest you get a Yuki 3135 for your gen dial. You have come a long way in getting those gen parts. Less of a gen movement, the Yuki 3135 will complete your 16610 journey. Hope this helps.

Agree. Get a clone 3135 movement so you don't have to screw with the gen dial feet. It's not as proven and reliable as the clone 2836, so handle with care.
I'd also pay to have it cleaned and serviced before you do the build - I'd hate to spend that much time and money only to have the movement crisp out after 6 months.

I think i'll just go with the black gen insert on a TC maxi dial for now and save the gen LN dial if i change my mind later. It is to mouch trouble to instal gen dial :(

That would also be fine. Your gen part wouldn't depreciate anytime soon.
