My watchmaker, who has assembled the watch and serviced the movement, did a pressure test at 10 ATM with the crystal gasket that came with the case set.
The crystal and gasket that comes with the case from @drvintage is good and the seal is good. I'm mentioning here that most of the AFTERMARKET parts I purchased does not fit and vary in size and shape etc from the gen and there are too many variables. So far all the gen parts I used fitted with ease.
Aside from gen, I've always had good results with clarks crystal and gaskets.
Does anybody perhaps have the correct reference for the gasket that fits inside the 6mm crown?, im trying to purchase a few spare ones but the rolex part numbers are really confusing, I have the 604 gen crown.Yes, different threads which means different tubes and also different inner tubes so the easiest way to see the difference between a 600 and a 603 is by measuring the inner tube, see reference pic
If I can remember correctly it was 1,5x0,7 o-ring
Do you have any pics with the McCaw hands installed?
Mc Caw hands look pretty good if I compare with Sillan hands.
I didn’t have the time yet to install them.
This case unlocked another grailwatch build for me
Keep us posted! Would love to see what those hands look like installed before ordering
Looks great! I think the minute hand from Sillan is also more accurate than the mccaw but might have to order a set for the GMT and hour hands
