That first photo gives me a ton of confidence. My biggest concern with going to this build is the lugs. Raffles looks to sof. The lugs look pretty good here even on the chamfers.

I know you've done silian builds previously, after doing this one do you prefer this or the Silian case?
No Raffles components are used in this watch.

It is a Bi vintage 14060 case.
The lug chamfer was too large when I received it, so I modified it by machining it a bit.

I previously created a watch that was converted to 14060 using a sillan16610 case.

The 14060 and 16610 are completely different in appearance, rehaut opening, crystal, bezel, etc.

This Bi vintage14060 case is made to GEN specs.
The 14060 GEN dial, 25-286 crystal, and GEN bezel insert fit nicely.

Once this 14060 is completed, the sillan will be reassembled into another watch.

I replaced the glass gasket from 3.2 to 2.7 because I did not like the way the glass gasket was showing through the bezel insert.

The 2.7mm glass gasket seems to be better.

He said Bi vintage on eBay is a friend.
I also bought my 5513 case from Bi vintage on eBay.
His WhatsApp and RWI member Bi vintage WhatsApp numbers are different.

That means there are 3 Bi vintage I know. (LOL)
