Eiderdaus 0 Posted June 14, 2011 Hi, as some of you might know, i have ordered one of the so dicussed Sean 16610T case. Compared to the Supreme it looks quite ok Here on the left side and supreme on the right the crownguards have a very good shape for out of the box and the height on the crown in relation to the crownguards look ok too the rep crown is ok but not too good and the crown position looks good to me sean said that this case is made only for 3035/3135. the band has a nice satin finish and a proper coronet on the clasp and not that funny DE6 clasp as wm9 does, no it is really good looking and this could be sold from d-rock as another gen clasp for 200...I am joking the SEL is good, not outstanding but what really worries me....the seat is wrong.... as you can see better here I am not explaining this now...most anals of you would know what I mean, that should be enough. still wonder why this can´t be fixed.... I am not really sure if this is related to the lugbars or the SEL shape. The bezel has major flaws... it is from the outter diameter too small, which has a good effect that the bezel is not kissing the crown, but on the other hand it really looks too small to me and, the lower bezel is polished which should not be, it should be brushed (can be fixed but is annoying) the crystal is higher than supreme and has excellent magnification and nicely polished edges and really looks good. so.....what do i think of this case. well, it might be an alternative to the wm9 watches (some believe it is a wm9) but with a price of 460$ (case, band and dial) it will be still expensive as a rep and you have to add the movement (not clear if the 2824-2 will fit) movement ring and hands so this will be another 120-150$. I am not sure if this is worth the money, take a supreme and you can get this for under 400$ completely build. If you add gen parts you will be very fast up to 1k and more. the dial hasn´t arrived yet but as soon as this is here i will update this post. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Eiderdaus 0 Posted June 15, 2011 The closer I look at the case, the more flaws are coming to light. First of all the engraving between the lugs is incomplete the T is missing behind 16610 and this is wrong as a 16610 has drilled lugholes and a 16610T is a non drilled lugholes case. the wm9 v3 has this right and here the gen If you look closer to the lugbars you can see that the edges are over-polished and therefore it gives the lugbars a smaller look. this is totally wrong this is aswell on the inner edges and the outter edges of the lugbars why does this have such a bad SEL fit, because the SEL are too long. comparism SEL length on the left side sean bracelet - right side gen compared the noob SEL with gen left side noob - right side gen compared the sean - noob left side sean - right side noob and the sean case has the same fit as the supreme or tw best bracelet does, the SEL are too long....
