Hello there. I’m new and a beginner. I’d really like to get some advice on a build I’m planning. I’m a in the process of putting together a vintage 16014 DJ inspired watch.
So far here's what I'm getting:
Raffles Case (not sure if 2824 or 2836)
Genuine 16014 dial (need to resolder/reposition legs)
Gen Crown
Gen Fluted Bezel
Datewheel Overlay
Gen hands
I was hoping to get the 2824 case since it had drilled thru lugs, but I read that only the 2836 will fit gen parts (gen 603 crown and 162XX bezel)? Is this true?
I've also been reading about hands clearance being a problem if I use a gen one. Should I just get one from raffles to be safe?
What kind of problems can I expect to run into and is there anything else I need? I'm open to suggestions on how to get the most out of this project.
Thanks
