Absolutely stunning and what you say is so true. Impossible to capture in a 2D image.

Where are you? There are modders / watchmakers all over the place that could maybe drill for you.

I am in the US (Florida). There are a few things I want to address like the lug holes and the bezel is quite hard to turn. So not sure what could help bezel.

I know it is a bit of a trek but USPS can be a great friend lol. misiekped is in NY https://forum.replica-watch.info/forum/watchservicesny.

He has seen more 16613s and 5 digits than I have seen hot dinners.

Thanks. Contacted him but he does not do drilling of the case but I am going to try to work with him adding some Gen parts parts to this movement and a franken datejust movement I have. The search continues for someone who can drill the lugs.

Lucky you!! Looks great. How does the 5 digit compare to your old 6 digit reference? I know how much you loved the 6 digit. Personally I love the look of the 6 digit reference but on the wrist the 5 digit looks and wears much better on my wrist.

Hey there thank you! Watch not with me as I have sent a gen autowind module for Depp to install in, the bracelet is a 6-digit so I would not be able to say vs the one I had but I am sure I would like it a lot.. will take some time until I have it so I have something to wait on lolol
