What i thought!...Gen construction bezel assembly!...So now this has me puzzled....rsh..KBH where are you?
..Then most likely V3 WM9 with engraved rehaut! But whats got me stumped is it don't look exactly like WM9 because of the CG's..Maybe like jeff says old TW BK or something before my time here! Maybe one of the older veterans can chime in?

But you could have the CG's worked! And have a great base watch to mod ...Because of the Gen construction! That opens a lot of doors!~

Thanks Rudy. I already had the CGs done while it was with speedy. I was hoping to go gen crystal and dial next. That was the whole point of this thread to figure out exactly how far I could go. There is only one way to find out and that's to start buying parts worst comes to worst I can always get most of my money back if they don't fit and I don't mess them up.

Doesn't look like WM9 crown guards. Or bezel teeth. Crown even looks a little shorter maybe.

I'm very happy with how the watch came out it looks like it's brand new. Speedy did one hell of a job.

Kbh said to take pictures of the lugs but I left my kit in my desk at work so I'll do it tonight and hopefully we can end that discussion.

The only M serial number cases that are gen construction I know about is WM9?

The crown looks too low for a WM9. Also, the CG seems a different shape.



There was a post on RWG back in Feb of 2012 asking about this case number in a 16613 case. So, it's at least 2 years old and was also available in two tone.

Yeah I know KBH! That's what's got me puzzled to?
I think it's something else?
But what?

Well I guess this is as close to an answer as I will get. Thank you to everyone who has shared their valuable knowledge. I have decided to keep the watch and start my first Franken project I will update this thread as it comes together.

Remember, just because it's got gen like bezel construction doesn't mean much else is going to fit, particularly a gen crystal.
