Josh has a 1655 Explorer, with either the GMT 4813 (might have my numbers wrong) or the 2836. This is the watch that everyone used to reshape the case and build a 1675 with the 116 crystal and a 1675 bezel.

But it also works as a 1655 for not a whole lot of money. It's no where near John Logan's build, but it's a decent rep at a fair price.
Sometimes on Josh's site you have to click on the link a few times to get the watch to come up. Or just click on Rolex and then Explorer and you'll see it

Thank you!

now im little bit near to what i need.

yuki has also a set (i‘ll have to check if its work with the 2836 GMT but i‘m still Waiting for respond from him)

Johnlogans Watch is great (also a great guidline for me what i need!) , the builder hasn’t the time to build another.

fortunately i have a great modder here in Germany (the one and only!) so i have to decide wich way im going now.
yukis set (I’m waiting 2 days now for respond)
I asked also the builder from Johnlogan for selling a Case set and also the watch from Puretime is an option (i would switch the hands and dial)....

Thanks for the tip. I hope it's OK if I ask a possibly stupid question. You refer to the 4813 and 2836 movements in your text, but you have linked to the quite inexpensive model with the 2813-movement. I'm not planning on doing any modding on this one. Is the 2813 movement OK then? Isn't the lower bph of the 2813 closer to the low bph on the gen?

Update of my project;
i just made my order at perfect clones
https://www.pf-828.com/00rlex00107-v...2836-1570.html
the second hand is totally wrong but the dial locks good.

maybe its a start and I‘ll order on of these Vietnam Cases later.

I love this watch myself but the cartel just has too much wrong with it. The bezel doesn't match the gen among other things.

 

[The Sardinian]

Ok this is the Cartel version? I didn’t knew!
did anyone have experience with this modified Movement?

joshua said every part of the watch is interchangeable with gen parts....

 

[The Sardinian]

No one?

Lol no way. Its a cartel - same case as the 1675.

Not a bad start, but definitely not "interchangeable" with every gen parts

There’s another source of Vietnam Vintage parts and its 50% less than Phong :

http://rubyswatch.com/

the 1655 Case and dials looks good

 

[The Sardinian]

I decided not to realize the project!
after i got a Gen Submariner it isn’t the same like before....

so i‘ll will make a sales thread nex time with following Parts:
[h=1]Vintage Exp II 1655 SS/SS Blk Swiss Eta 2836/1570

Vietnam Insert and Dial (same source as Phong Bezel)

Tiger Concept Hands[/h]

 

[The Sardinian]
