Fantastic! Thank you very much for this write up.

Very nice work! An old Rolex is a good Rolex! No-one will suspect it being a rep after lasting so long, artificially that is! :black_eyed:

I cracked up when I saw the old Warhammer paint! Keep up the good work, you might have some customers wanting to 'vintify' their watches! :adoration:

This is a great comprehensive tutorial. A huge help to visualize what I'm in for as I complete my first build.

Is the 16610 crystal and retaining ring set up very similar to the 1680 tutorial you showed? I've seen a lot of diagrams and some photos, but I can fin anything as far as what order I'm putting everything together to set the crystal.
