Ok, what I want to do..

Stock BP SD, add Yuki Comex 16660 dial, ETA swiss mov, TC dwo, crown and tube and bracelet


Can I buy 2813 version and put in the swiss eta? And will this Yuki dial fit?

The 2813 hands will not fit the ETA so You´ll need a set of TC hands as well. Possibly a new movement ring to fit the movement (just check on it).
You don´t mention the insert, imho it would be one of the parts to dedicate most attention to if doing the rest (it can´t be new, slightly or very vintage, which type of pearl and font etc.)

+1 on drilling lugholes

Yuki sells the hands to match the dial for 9.99, the dial will come with hands but for a Rolex movement. http://www.yukiwatch.com/catalog/item/8677843/9909928.htm

6 weeks waiting to get her back for a movement fix. She is going back out this week.[emoji19]

Gen insert, Swiss movement, TC bracelet, otherwise stock.
Case chamfer on mine appears fairly defined. Not sure if that is oem work or not.

It already looks great. Can't wait to see it with mods!

Thanks.
To be honest, I think yours looks good stock. Haha
Yeah i think they all look great OOB with some small flaws. Mine gained 30 seconds in a week of wear. I'm happy with wearing it as is and the movement is working great so I'm not rushing into any changes. I've got a blackbay that needs fixing at the moment

Thank You //// [MENTION=81198]rnrprof[/MENTION] has one that is 29.38 widest diameter and then notch down to 28.42 for gasket. 3.0mm thick and I'm trying to figure out if its correct for my watch that [MENTION=45516]ado213[/MENTION] is working on. I figure if double AR is good for my TCs then it must be good for the SD .

Ok on mine we have 28.4 on smallest part and 29.4 on largest part. Every caliper may be fractions off so I'd say that will work. Would be interested to see the bezel edge of his.

It sounds right is it 3mm thick? I will ask for a picture of the Edge he said it was for a SD 4000 which I assumed was the 116600 but he may just be mixing up terminology/models.
