Wow this case looks good. I’m planning a 162xx build, this would be the right case I guess? Also I’ve read the 16200 case is the same specs as the 14270. can you confirm?

My case is older 160xx shape. 16200 have other (thicker) side profile, anyway all parts are the same, dial, 3135, crown etc will fit. If you like the optic of my case - go for it

Hey Stone P, a bit late to the party, but maybe you still remember.

I build a 16200

Hi there, a bit late but maybe you still have any knowledge you're willing to share :)

I built myself a 16200 using the Korean case and I used a B 25 -295-1 (2,7mm height) crystal and I sometimes have the feeling that the mag is not correct (too zoomed in maybe). I might be super wrong though since I don't have a gen real life reference. Any feedback from my attached images would be awesome on that.

I'm also using the stock bezel which I now found out is not high enough, that's maybe why the gasket is visible. Do you know which one would be the correct gasket for a 16200 then so everything looks right?



Thanks and best regards from Germany!

Hi @Stone P , you're probably busy. Are you by any chance able to help me out with this one? Best regards!

Hey,

I will suggest 2 things

1. Replace the crystal gasket for a 2.3mm. If the mag is still off, use a 2.5mm gasket.
2. Replace the stock v1 bezel. It’s too short and more appropriate for plexi crystals..T21,118 and 135. Go for a Gen( -spec) bezel not taller than 2.3mm.
