Hor-Fan, just ordered the same bracelet you mentioned (thanks for the ref) ; did it come with end-links (a bit confused from the pictures displayed) ?
No, you need to get the end links and clasp. WSO and Riyi have the 555 for 2mm spring bars, Riyi has the clasps as well. I just used the clasp off a cartel oyster bracelet.
I dont know if this is the same watch but Sead at Supermirrors got it to me for less than $300.
Ok, I've already did business with Riyi and try to contact him. Thanks again.
By the way, I'm still using TS clasp as it is one of the less bad I've seen but if anyone has other refs for better ones, I'll be thankful again.

Looking at the DW without serif I would say that it's not the same watch ...I dont know if this is the same watch but Sead at Supermirrors got it to me for less than $300.

Thank you very much both for your answers. Nice watches indeed !
Thank you very VERY much.
Thank you very VERY much.
Yes, that's where I got mine. The SyL dial was available at that time. He is a TD.

I asked Sead for that one, showed him the picture and he told me, it is a modded one ... not stock
Hi Folks,
Just received and installed the "gen" crown I ordered, feels much better :
Definitely slimmer, but I'm wondering if it's really genuine: just have a look at the two extreme tips of the crown?
PS : need a new tube as well, anyone would have a good source ?

I can't speak in authenticity of it, as I don't have a gen at the moment, I have a raffles/riyi Brevet crown on the way, and it comes with a tube and seals. When it arrives I will let you know what I think, but it will surely be better than the one it came with. You may be able to ask Ken if he can source only the tube.
fortunately, my seller did send another one (as the first one had been very slow to get here), and it is better. I manage to take more pics before I put It on (the new one is better looking):
Yep, I've been lurking on it before but so expensive... I'd rather get the complete bracelet from them I think

Both look gen from the back.

Gentlemen, I need a bit of help.
The riyi/raffles 6mm crown and tube arrived.
I removed the old tube and found that the diameter of the threaded hole in the case was too big for that tube.
Is there another style of 6mm tube with a larger "small end"
I have a tube in my stash that could thread into the case, but I don't think it's for a 6mm crown, and the I.D. is too small.

Ok, the plot thickens. It seems the riyi / raffles crown has a smaller inside diameter. I'm thinking, this crown doesn't use a standard 6mm crown tube, but a smaller one. The tube that was in the case is probably a standard 6mm tube size, alsotalso, why the tube in my stash looks like it's too big. It's probably standard 6mm crown tube if I had to guess.
In short, the raffles/ riyi crown and tube set won't fit this watch.
edit- seems the story is that the crown tubes changed with the intro of the monobloc crown, then the 5.3mm and 6mm used the same tube. This watch uses the pre-monobloc style tube (DJ 1601 style)

All I can say - but Hor-Fan did sate that already - is that the stock tube accepts « gen » crown (and it sits very well inside, even better than the stock - shitty - crown, even though the out part of tube is a tiny bit too long).
If you take a step back to pages 30ish I think, someone did measure precisely the tube in and out diameters, and also the case hole thread diameter (it might be Hor-Fan)
