Bump for an answer regarding adapters for different movements, any ideas where to source one for a DG3804 or HZ6460?

My hunch is the stem height of the DG3804 might make it impossible to be used in a Gen-spec case like Milky’s. I have a hunch that’s why no one has jumped in to say they’ve done it.

I would like to add to the same question. I'm looking for a HZ6460 adapter to fit a gen-spec 1675 case (Milk's), I've reached out to Helenarou without any response - can anyone confirm or reject my thinking that this ETA adapter should do the work based on:
  1. HZ6460 is a 2836 clone which is originally and ETA
  2. The adapter is to fit gen spec cases, not mentioning the 1675 but suitable for 1680 which should match in dimension
Thanks

Was it Yuki who used to do a quality adapter? I can't see it on the Yuki Watches site though, so may be misremembering. The HR one is the other recommeded. I am pretty sure it was @tripdog who mentioned them on another Milk case thread.

That crystal is nice. what crystal is that?

A Vietnam crystal from Ruby.
Here are the full build specs:

- Milk case set
- Ruby vietnam insert
- Vietnam dial
- Rafflestime sub hands set/gmt hand + 116610 seconds hand
- Vietnam movement ring
- Vietnam DWO
- Vietnam plexi from Ruby
- ETA 2846 movement + ETA 2840 setting lever + GMT conversion parts (no quick-set date, no independently-adjustable GMT hand.. functions the same as a gen Rolex 1575 GMT movement)
- Swiss 5330 tube
- Replica 530 crown

very nice! thank you. Is there a reason you went with a 116610 seconds hand over the raffles one? I Always thought the raffles second is the best part of the raffles handset and that the minute and hour are not as accurate as they could be. (Lume is too small in comparison to the outer walls, especially on the minute hand).

The typical replica 116610 seconds hand has a better front taper and correct circle sizes for the lume circle, middle circle, and the rear circle.

In comparison, the rafflestime seconds hand has a larger lume circle and larger rear circle compared to gen. The taper isn't as sharp either and the overall width is wider than gen.
