Which chinese movement fits the case? Do they also offer 16570 engravings?

For the movement you can try your TD or M2M. Regarding the dial, as yodog said, go gen. It's worth the investment
Maybe you can also buy it on alixpress but i am not 100% sure this is the right one

Gods own country! Yorkshire.
I’ve already said this, yes they are the same! Is the lug engraved 16710 I wonder.
Edit!
I wonder if they can do 16570 engraving instead if an exp is your thing.

Stuessi I believe these guys here from Vietnam knows the price. One thing for sure it won't be a cheap built. From experience minimum price to even build this project will range from USD 2400 and above (mint condition) to use mostly gen parts (excluding watchmaker fees). As I had build one similar built myself. As these parts are getting harder to get your hands on it.

Unless you are very lucky or don't mind a banged up dial and hands, it is a slim chance you can get those parts cheap in mint condition.

And this is not a hot model as most replica will only focus on modern Rolex. When one touches vintage Rolex, don't expect anything cheap. That rabbit hole is an expensive hole to explore.

This is honestly the most exciting news I've seen in watches in a really long time.

I've been sitting on a gen 16710 dial, hands, crystal, pepsi/coke/AND black bezel, and even a gen caseback for years waiting for a decent case that I could drop a 3186 movement. I still have gen parts laying around when I was going to convert a yuki 3135 for the build!

I cannot wait until these cases are available, they look great compared to what has been out there in the past 10 years. Now I'm going to have to pull all that stuff out clean it up and get it ready!! Re-lume here we come hahahahaha

Thanks for sharing this update!!!!!!!
