Viet Gen-Spec 16710 Frankens are here to stay - byebye BP!

[LetMeHearItNow]

Ha! CarpetRyd beat me by a few seconds with the same info for the most part. Nice.

 

[LetMeHearItNow]

Here’s a pic for comparison… the left is a gen 16760 fat lady with the correct 603 crown, the right is a rep 16710 Viet with a gen 600 crown. The 600 looks to be about 1mm thicker.

LetMeHearItNow Man - guess he didn’t have to “read” this thread…. LOL!

Talk about informative 603 vs 600 crown pic. I already don’t like the size of the 600 crown - such a chore when you’re used to the 704 on a SUB…

I 100% agree with you and simultaneously want to smack myself for being “inconvenienced” by having to apply a little extra force to grip the crown on my Rolex to set it a few times a month. The epitome of first world problems.

Great info guys! (Letmehearitnow and redcarpetryd) for some reason when I tag you guys on my phone, my whole respons gets deleted… so no correct tagging!

letmehearitnow - do you happen to more a comparasion pic of the 2 crowns from the crown logo position ?

cheers!

Top gen, bottom rep. The 603/4 looks the same as the 600 aside from the wear.

bonus question - does the 3185 movement use same date disc as the 3135?

Yes.

This wasn’t a serious question right? If so, really start reading. I think most questions like this are answered right next to the “Who makes the best Sub” section. Or maybe adjacent to it.

 

[yodog]

yes

Very excited that the Vietnam case is shipping from Tripdog to Adrian for final assembly.

Is 16700 16710 16750 16760 genuine dial compatible with 3186 movement?

I talked to him tonight via whatsapp $670 + $50 ship to California. He should have some next week.

Thrasher can give me whatsapp number of him ?

I found its better to go direct through tripdog to get the case plus he can do all the work

I second that notion.

Actually I got good news yesterday from ado213 the case from tripdog arrived about 2 weeks ago and is almost complete. Seems like the only thing left is fitting the bracelet. No pictures yet, but he assured me everything fit together very well.
