I'm not sure to understand what you mean. Is it the dial opening in the case that is too wide? Or the dial itself? I didn't had any problem fiting my JF with a gen dial but maybe there are different batches ?

Yea. The JF 16610’s dial space and dial size is 1mm wider than gen.

I can tell. Your dial sits slightly to the right side of the case. You can look at the min markers. The left side is longer than the right.

It took me a while to figure out what the problem was. The only way I was able to find out was when I tried to put the JF dial in my ST case and saw that it would not fit. So I measured my gen dial and the JF dial. The JF dial is 1mm wider and the case has the same spec.

You CAN get it aligned and keep it that way. It just need to have the case screws tight as you can and use dial dots/adhesives. I just ditched that project and started over on a ST case with more gen parts. Gen tritium dials deserves better! lol

Still. It looks great. I wouldn’t mess with it.

No
way
you are right. I wouldn't say 1mm but definitely at least 1/10 of a mm

OK i have a new OCD

But are you sure it's not a left/right misalignement because top/bottom alignement seems ok?

An amazing watch - great piece.

BUT you need an old style bracelet (non SEL) with hollow end links and it is perfectly period correct.

Lol. I have one. I just prefer the SEL 5 digit bracelet with a glidelock clasp.

It’s just in the other 16800 currently.

Nice!

You find another 3035 case? Or a gen 3035 case?
3035s are gorgeous movements. Those purple reversing wheels just looks so much better than the red ones.
