The open 6/9 DW I got doesn’t fit a VS movement. Will check on a VR at some point. But it’s too small.

The WSO DW I purchased went into VS3135.

That’s good to know. Which is weird because they ship from the same place.
I purchased DW from another store for another 1680 creation.
I will check it out as 1680 will also be created using VS3135.

Those are both from the seller that I bought from

The DW of the WSO still fits into VS3135.

Does the Sillan case take a whole gen bezel assembly, including retainer ring? Apologies if I’ve missed that fact somewhere. I’ve read through this whole thread and tried to search other but haven’t seen the answer.

It didn’t take a WSO 16610 bezel very well, and it didn’t take a 14060 bezel at all.

I didn’t try a different insert. I’m hoping it will take a gen insert just fine for my 16800 build

On the AliX case I used for my build above, i shaved the inside of the bezel for it to take a gen dimension insert. I used epoxy and fishline to secure a gen dimension crystal.

The case was also reshaped to the 39-39.4mm size and it’s only 1.5mm thicker than the gen
🤗
Dimensions look really good on this, closer to gen than the 16610 case.. really nice

Shaving the inside of the bezel is a pain, haven’t found an easy technique to do this yet..

The best way is to use a lathe.
But i don’t have one..so

My technique is easy enough, but labor intensive 😅

I use a cylindrical diamond file of 1.2mm and gradually grind the inside until the insert snap fits. Then I use just a tiny bit of hypocement or double tape to secure it fully

May I ask you guys how THIS dial will fit a VR3130?
Just remove all dial feet, and glue new feet in? Or will the existing ones fit the VR3130?
