1675 GMT Project - Milky Case 2.0 review

[infinito_II]

Thank You very much, dear friend. My little gift for my 50 is working....

1) The Milk v2 doesn't necessarily need work on the crown guards, but some people may reshape them for a specific look. They are a good amount smaller than on the V1 and are slightly polished. It's a good trade off for most, but it's hard to make them sharper if you wanted a New Old Stock look.

2) I'm not sure what crystal, but I think I used the 300.158. I'll need to find a spare and measure it to confirm. There's a chance I used the 462-18F so I'm not 100% positive.

3) For the crown I have used generic replacement tubes with both generic crowns and genuine crowns. All 5.3mm.

What exactly is your d

Excellent to hear! I was only 75% confident at the time you ordered.
Can't believe I forgot... I also ordered another crystal on the recommendation of another member here. It doesn't have the iconic bevel around the edge like the 300.158, but there's a slight bevel with a perfectly placed cyclops.

I prefer the shape of of 300.158, but if a perfect cyclops placement is more important, this one is closer.

Dear, can you post the difference?

Dear, can you post the difference?

Here's the one from the Ebay link. Its cyclops is better aligned, and has a smaller bevel/chamfer on the profile. It's hard to properly show the cyclops alignment while I'm wearing the watch, but it's very good. [url=https://clickpix.org/image/8707EE35-0147-41C1-9D98-66F665887918.haU4KF] [/URL]

I honestly cannot get the date wheel overlay to sit right. I've purchased two from raffles dials and both times it came back from my watch maker, most of the dates are severely left justified. Is there a better option? Sorry for the noob question.

I'm having issues with finding the right crystal for the Milk v2 case.

Tried:

- Clarks 25-116
- Speedtimercollection (Ebay). Imo the best looking crystal available based on heigth and bevel. It fits the Raffles case, but is to wide for the Milk v2
- Sternkreuz XS300.158 or XS300.158 II (cyclop is off)
- Aliexpress
- Ebay "Vetro plexy per 25-116 Rolex Crystal Glass Uhrenglas Verre 1675 16750" (hardly any bevel and quite high).

Not tried:

Vietnam plexi from Ruby

I've done quite some research (and spending) but I just can't seem to find the right crystal.

The last posts about a proper crystal have been from a while ago already, so I was wondering if someone has an update on the 'perfect' crystal for the Milk v2 case.

I just replaced my crystal last week on my V2 with this and it fit great.

Remember that the 1675 has a 1520/1570 date position, so it might not have the same 3135 date position that 99% of vintage replica dials right now.
This is always a frustration, but I've never measured to see of there are differences. Can anyone confirm or disconfirm?

 

[cradle101]

Indeed, that is the issue I ran into as well. I really like the Speedtimerkollektion one, but it is just to large.
