May i know the case link ?Definitely go with a viet case. Here is my old viet build with a gen 79090 (sold).
The thing you have to consider is that gen dial size is 26mm.

I like the Mercedes hands from vintage watch mods, they look very good but pricey!

Rafflestime is also very accurate except for the seconds hand.
Love the eta's with the KIF shock. I wanted to buy one but they ship from Swiss so heavy import taxes to pay i guess.

Vintage Watch Mods do seem to do some good stuff but they have more on their ebay than the website, at a higher price too. I need to email them!
Good point on tax, on both the movement and the VWM parts... but they do look good!
If you went with Rafflestime for the hour and minute, who would you go with for the seconds?

You can sand the tip so that it is more tapered, difficult but doable.
I got lucky and found a TC 2678 hand set in my watch parts.
Hour and minute hands are not usable because it is a lady size movement but with a reamer i Managed to use the seconds hand.
So next time i have to find a good seconds hand somewhere else.

How was the bezel direct from BV? We've had a few complaints on the forum!

The ghost bezel insert is from that link. The bezel insert from bv fell out of the bezel and I could not get it to refit which was odd. Also I needed to order a new friction ring because the one that came on it was rusted and would not allow the bezel to turn
