Hi all,
I have this old old rep of 16570 in white dial from 2006. I acquired this piece from Eddie Lee. This is the version that allows 12-hour hand to be separately adjusted (like gen) and Eddie claimed that it has Swiss ETA movement in it (which I do... not necessarily think is true).
I kept the watch all these years due to sentimental value but as I started looking more closely, I think this watch actually is fairly faithful to the Gen.
I know the DW is very bad but I already have a replacement DW for it that I am planning to swap.
In your opinion, what else should/could I do to this watch to make it closer to gen and would this be a good enough of a base watch for further modding?
I am attaching Pic of my watch and gen for your review.
Thank you in advance.
