The wording is incorrect.
The translation function could not correctly describe the expression.
It is not for sale.

I am interested in the TC. PM

Very interested to learn of the specs on your JF 16800 build in due course.

All amazing but this one is stunning. I think it's the markers not having the metal around them. Is this one the 16800?

Yes,

This is a 16800 dial from Vietnam.
DW is set to open 6,9.

If you ever sell, let me know

This 16800 uses a JF case.

I put in a Raffles 14060 dial.

I was hoping to get 14060. I think the 14060 currently available is only to be assembled with a Raffles case. However, I didn't really like the Raffles case so I took a chance based on KJ2020 and C Master's posts. 1, I put Raffles 14060 dial T

When I assembled this 14060 I used BP and JF cases.

I drilled first in the BP case and then in the JF case to practice drilling lug holes.

Then I bought an Alibaba sillan16610 case and drilled holes in this case as well.
Since this was the third time I drilled holes in the sillan case, I transferred the contents of the 14060 case to the sillan case.

The JF case was still in the parts bin but @yodog was selling a set of Vietnam16880 dial and bezel on m2m so I bought it and used the JF case.

I bought an open 6.9 DW on ebay and this watch is now complete.
Not exact CG or rehaut height but very happy with it.

I am an amateur with no skills when it comes to watches.

I am also an amateur with no knowledge or skills in metalworking.
I tried to sharpen the CG on my own by looking at the threads of the senior members of RWI.

This case is MILK's 1680.

Install the tube and crown purchased from Ali Express.

Replacing VS3135 DW with an open 6.9 purchased on ebay.

 

[trash3939]

I just received the 1680 dial.

This is the third 1680 dial we have received.
This is the first one I bought from a Vietnamese supplier I found on Facebook.

From my eyes it is very well made.
The price was about 1/3 of Vietnamese dials on ebay etc.

 

[trash3939]

I'll paint the hands luminous to match the dial as soon as possible.

Actually, this is my first time painting luminous hands.

Remove the needle luminescence with anhydrous alcohol.
The luminescence peeled off cleanly, so I mixed water-based paint with glue and painted it on.

I hope the dried color matches the dial.

How does the 16610 cases compare? TC v Sillan vs ARF? I have the Sillain and also have a Ginault (legit tc). I was told the Sillan was from RAF factory. It even had an "RA" sticker on it when I got it. About to do a build with it.

This is just my personal opinion, but TC is still exceptional.

I am not yet confident in my skills, so I don't feel like tinkering with the TC, but I would like to drill holes in the lugs and change the movement to a VS3135.
My TC is a V6 and I am changing it to a V7 dial.
I installed the V6 dial I removed into the VR3135 and put it in the ARF16610 case.

Comparing these two watches, the ARF case is not accurate in terms of lug length and CG shape.
But it is a slight difference and doesn't bother me much.

The sillan case and the ARF case are almost identical.
I feel the sillan case is slightly better.

Which JF case did you use fella? Just normal 1680?
I was looking at the BP 16610 as that already comes with a sapphire crystal to use then just swap the dial if it all fits.

In the case of this watch we used the old JF16610 case.

For detailed specifications, please contact
JF16610 case (1.3mm hole drilled in lugs)
VS3135 movement
Vietnam16800 dial
Raffles 3135 hands
WSO open 6.9 DW
Vietnam bezel and inserts
455b end link 93150 bracelet

If you use BP's 16610 case, I think you need to not only replace the dial, but also cut the rehaut engraving and drill holes in the lugs and replace the DW with an open 6.9.
