I bought from Ruby and yes Phong is still in business. Usually he's fast and orders arrived in less than a week in EU.

sputim Never ending project...
I picked up a brand new GEN bracelet, however it doesn't fit at the 6 o'clock lug...
Oh boy yeah the 78390A didn‘t fit my viet case either..I made it work with very thin springbars but it was super insecure and the bracelet was sitting way too low. Hope you didn‘t pay too much for it..

I guess the GEN bracelet can be resold without a loss. Would you recommend to trim the lugs or to go REP for the bracelet ?
It looks like you have invested huge money on this project and sadly things just don't fall into places. Did you get the case from Phong too?
You made purchases through his website? Have you ever communicated with him over emails lately?

Thanks, I would need a 5 digit case though for the Zenith movement. However it's true that I've seen more and more 6-digits cases available these days at good prices

I found one GEN case on the bay apart from the insane price, something seems fishy - the case has P302 pushers...

I see you are selling your 78390A, what bracelet are you using now and is the 16520 running fine?

Hi mate
Thanks for asking, I'm selling the bracelet to finance a 6263 project with v72 and some gen parts ;-)
The 16520 is running great and looks fantastic!
It's currently on a nubuck strap, such a versatile model this one is.
However I was unable to install period correct pushers (p402) as the CG obstruct them...

Yeah good call to sell it, should be a quick sale at your price.
Damn sorry to hear about the p402. Gen fit my case but maybe your case is off a tiny bit. You have a wristie of your 16520 to share?

Congrats that turned out really well! What case and bracelet are you using now? The fit looks spot on.
