New aftermarket 16710 case set
- Thread starter drvintage
- Start date
Those spring bar holes look way better than the eBay case. Are the spring bars themselves 2.0mm or 1.8mm
started a 16710 project too 
what are the options for hands besides going for gen hands?
hour, minute and seconds hands for 3135 should fit the VR3186 movement, correct?
i searched for the GMT hand hole size of the gen 3186 movement and found that its 2,00mm. if that is corect, one could use a GMT hand for 2836 movement which is also 2,00mm.

Beautiful! What code end links are these? And is this a 78790A bracelet?In meanwhile I completed my 16710.
Dr vintage Case reworked Cg's inside out complete.
Installed new Tube and Crown
Case back is now changed to work with Rolex opener.
SEL modified to fit perfectly on the Case.
1,8mm Fat Springbars.
Installed a new Crystal
New Pepsi Insert
VR 3186
New Hands
New Dial
Now it look like this.
I'm happy with the result
I really hope someone an answer my question, and maybe someone else will benefit from this too in this thread.
Can anyone help me with the 3186 movement? I bought a brand new 3186 movement, and it comes with the “guide” hands to give you a rough estimate on the set time.
But, there’s a small “shim” underneath the hands. What to do with that? Does it stay there? Is it also a guide for the hands? I am a bit confused how to install it properly. Installing hands is not the problem form me. Just the extra complication

Here is a good explanation https://blog.watchdoctor.biz/2023/09/23/what-is-a-watch-dial-washer/
YES, that's the one I was talking about. Sorry, my first language isn't English, but glad you understood what I meant.
I understand it is mandatory to be there, does it need to be in a certain position before installing the dial and hands?
It goes below the dial in this position.
It's sort of a spring that pushes the hour wheel/GMT wheel down so the teeth don't slip.
Excellent, good to hear and thanks everyone for answering this noob question. 
Will proceed with the build later this week.
