Building my own 16710 gen spec GMT based on BP (not using an expensive Viet case!)

Actually some additional shots

Bravo! Needless to say, but subscribed. Lathe work is my nemesis but this gives me courage. In the mean time, I'm a sheep, followed the Viet route. Mine says hello

Hey bro, I've been using your thread as a reference for my build and was curious which hands you used for the VR movement. Are they the generic 3185/3186 hands that are found on eBay/Amazon?

I'm looking for decent hands to fit until I get a pair of gen hands. Thank man!

I used some "service" hands,
which doesn't seems to be gen for me,
but aftermarket instead.

If you want to use aftermarket hands search ebay for:

Watch Hand for 40mm ROLEX EXPLORER II GMT II 3185 16710 16570 16713 16718

what a drop dead gorgeous build, potential master modder in the making sir HootschiGootschi.

KJ2020 maybe a noob question but is the 16570 gen midcase also 4.6mm instead of the 5mm of the bp?
