Build in progress... Gen dial, gen bezel insert, gen champagne date wheel, ST hands (looking to buy gen tritium!) JF midcase, and ST 14k bracelet. Gold plated bezel and crown (also looking to go gen).

Good luck with the build. The bluesy build is always a labour of love (and frustration lol. )

Thank you brother!

So the 14060 midcase is gen spec in terms of fitting the 14060 dial and movement perfectly, but the crystal and bezel are 16800/16610 spec. This specific case had its rehaut custom made to 14060 spec and then got fitted with a 14060 gen crystal and a complete 14060 gen bezel assembly.
As with most Vietnam cases, the midcase also needed some reshaping.
There's the secret!
