That’s high. Think I was quoted 500-600.

Yes, that would be the perfect set, e & f.
But imho this offer is way overpriced, its nearly double the price.. it should be around $ 275-300 per side, so let's say max 600 for the set. I would monitor chrono24 a few days and see if a better offer comes up.

Mine seems to have come with the Easylink. I think they are including them now?

Nice! How did you make the sels fit the case - what bracelet do you use?

 

[qualityazn]

Itto sorry should have clarified. i changed it to a 116500 noob mid case. i know the shape of the lug is different, but i just prefer bracelet over oysterflex. noob bracelet with arf clasp.

So basically you have put everything from 116519 to 116500 case right? Is there a difference in movements, is movement from 116519 better?

 

[qualityazn]

yes i put all the guts (movement, dial, hands) of the 116519 into the 116500. it is the same exact movement. i used a thin aftermarket gasket and arf crystal. will wait for a CF bezel to complete the project

That's awesome - i might also venture down that road, as i love the 116519 but, just like you, prefer it on a bracelet.

@qualityazn Looks beautiful!!

My grail watch is the 116509, for those who dont know, although im sure everyone here does, is basically the 116519, with a bracelet/ bezel in white gold.

I want this to be my first project/ build.

So if anyone has a Noob 116519 dial please let me know.

Cheers

If you want the Bracelet and the correct Case, you need as Base the ICE.

And a CF Bezel is a good Choise

audiwt, thanks mate.

Originally I didnt know that and I was naively going to use the 116500 as the base.

However, I reached out to some of the OG's here who were kind enough to guide me, especially Nur-Uhr.

[audiwt]

I dont know. The Bracelet from the 116500 don’t fit the 116519. A friend of me tested it. But I think the Cases are the Same (Ice/116519) and yes, it could fit

And yes, that was the Base

And now

The lugholes are in another position on the 116519 due to the decorative "half-endlink". This half-sel can (contrary to the gen) actually be removed but another bracelet will not fit because of the hole-positions. At least that's what i experienced with some bracelets i tried.
