Looks amazing. Great curation. Do you mind if I ask who did the work, or did you do it yourself?

Hi guys, bumping this thread since I’m on the look for a 16600. If I want to have gen movement installed in this, is there any advice on which version to take?

i found the one from Trusty with an A3135 but is that good for swapping with a gen ETA?

BUMP for this thread.

SA3135 BP SD 16600 has a good overall package imo nevertheless the bezel insert is printed way too thick & looking at the bezel ring closely it doesnt look that "beefy" as the gen.

I ordered an aftermarket bezel insert (watchparts24 on ebay) but the printing is a little bit too thin now.

Does anyone have any tips where we can get good bezels & inserts for the 16600?

This ebay listing does look quite promising: https://www.ebay.de/itm/173263345495?hash=item28574cd757:g:sgQAAOSwGlte6OBh

What is your input on this?

Hi, great build!
Can you share the specs of the spring bars? I’m willing to do a conversion to lug holes keeping the 93250 (93160a) BP bracelet .

Best!
