Looking forward to seeing how this pans out and getting my paws on some of drvintage's work.

Great job.
Waiting for a next Sub James Bond (non crown guards) building 🥹

Looks great, but curious, are all of these photos of a polished/worked over case? Looking for something with fairly sharp, intact, lug chamfers

Looks great!

Just received my case from @drvintage - Initial impressions are very good. I will get a comparison thread with my Helenarou build up over the weekend!

I'd feel confident to say it's easily the best value GEN-spec case on the market now. Plexi fitted beautifully (I've gone straight to a 25-125 Tudor Cyclops) over the neck and the bezel moves with the perfect friction.

It might be a few weeks before I get round to fitting the GEN tube and crown and drilling the lugs but I am very pleased so far!

Some teaser pics! (GEN insert and next to my HR Tudor 9411 Service hands and dial build):

Also received mine! Extremely happy with it. @drvintage also did some custom case work for me. Got a HR dial and just waiting on the athaya crown to start the build.

Great work on the case! Will follow up with pics as I progress the build

Pls note for athaya or gen 703 tube you have a tap the tobe hole a little bit:





Or you use aftermarket 704 crowns with the flat case side:








Here some pics of installed 704 crown on the gen I originaly scanned:

Edit:

it seems to be 702 tube/crown from Athaya:








I had one Athaya crown on stock, I was thinking it was 702, but it seems to be probably 700 - the crown can be screwed deeper on the tube, so it fits plug and play.

Great effort, looking really good! Can't wait to see more!

Awesome addition for us vintage Rolex lovers. Thanks.

Thread moved to your sub-forum, which is where your parts should be posted - the whole point of having a sub-forum, a place where you can inform potential customers what it is you sell.
