Thanks for tagging me mate! This is a great feedback, thank you guys!@drvintage - Good case feedback here! Thanks @KJ2020 !
How wide is your bezel on the 16710?
Haha, was wondering about that but I figured you would correct it.

Bezel was drawn 1:1 according to gen. +/- 40mm.How wide is your bezel on the 16710?
Gen 16710 bezel is 40.0mm +/- a few hundredths depending on tool accuracy.
Gen 16570 bezel is 39mm so it's important to note that difference.
As I know 16710 and 16610 have same CG's with the different Crown opening 7mm and 8mm..First, I wouldn't touch the width of the CGs - they are near perfect. If you shave the width at all they will be too skinny. Some of us (myself included) may prefer skinnier CGs but gen is gen. I've always thought the gen 16710 CGs were a tad too thick for the diminutive 6mm crown.
The CG's length seems be okay, may be 0,3mm too long.. fact is, the crown is not deep enough. On the gen the crown is much more deeper - almost on the same level to CG's..Second, if you shave that straight part of the case back to make it not visible under the existing bezel, the CGs will appear even longer than they already do. As it is yours appear longer than the gen - that is, more of the length is visible.

So the question becomes why is this?

here is an good comparison to gen:

Just easy: I have made the CG's opening not deep enough any the CNC shop made the CG's shape little bit too round and the opening 6,3mm istead 7mm... I have ordered some tools and will try to make bigger and deeper opening on the next weekend. This will fix the biggest problem.
Some guys made it already on their cases. Looks very very close in my opinion.
Thank you mate 🫡I am happy with the one you sent meit will be on my wrist soon…. All the nit picky stuff is what it is and in my opinion great work Dr
Hell yeah, nice one bro.I've done some work yesterday on the drvintage case.
I think we come closer now.

Looks great man! Did you end up shaving the opening near the base of the crown or is the bezel assembly different from the one that was included?I've done some work yesterday on the drvintage case.
I think we come closer now.

Reps can definitely be a challenge bro and there is nothing like a gen. It's one reason I like fantasy pieces - they're a blank canvas and you're always right, haha.
