Been freshening up a BP 16600 and would like to start getting a couple of gen parts on to the watch, namely the dial and insert. Does anyone know if gen parts are compatible with a 16600 BP case? I'm having trouble finding information on the BP case specs whereas I know the size of the gen dial.

Any insights are appreciated... Maybe I am working with the wrong case? The BP SD 16600 is one of the more accurate reps I've seen and just want to get a couple of the final touches polished off.

The BP case don't accept gen parts without mods

Thanks - glad I held off on ordering the dial I was watching. Is there a 16600 (or earlier) SD case set that does accept gen parts? I've been researching but have yet to find anything definitive.

Only BP I did I kept all BP except I used a TC bracelet and bezel insert and dial if I remember right. Sub007 I sold him the watch. He might be able to help you out more. I do remember using a real 2824 also as an upgrade. If I remember correctly, it did not except a real bezel or insert. People I think sanded the insert to fit.
