tube diameter - 600 tube is for 1601/6542, 603 tube is for modern datejust. The tube diameter for the 603 is much smaller, the same as a 530 crown.

This is a Franken using old Noob Explorer II Midcase that is no longer available. What do you guys think of the midcase when comparing it to a gen 16710 in terms of lugs and crown shape? It appears slimmer than the Viet one.

Gen dial, hands, crown, insert, crystal, DWO, VR3186.

Thanks!

This is a great build, but whoever did it - did A LOT of work putting it together (custom movement holder, crown tube retap, etc...). I’d be pretty stoked with that build and wouldn’t even be in this viet gen-spec thread...

Do you have calipers? Maybe providing some actual measurements and I’m sure when the viet case shows up in members hands, they would be willing to do the same.

Thanks, initially built by Nikz and Yodog!
Unfortunately do not have calipers.

I bought the following parts:
Vietnam 167xx case (no engravings)
VR3185
Gen 16700 "Swiss only" dial + hands
Gen datewheel
Gen crown + tube
Gen crystal (no lec no ar) + gasket
Gen bezel
Gen fat font serif pepsi insert
"Italian" Jubilee (62510h), might snatch up a gen when finding good one at good price

Will update here!

Geez bro, you are on a roll, another masterpiece wow.

That click is for a Sub though - the GMT click has a curved top on it to allow for bidirectional rotation. Did that bezel assembly come with the case?

Beautiful work!

 

[Oascom]

Yes I'll look for different one
