New aftermarket 16710 case set

[Iksander]

Looks great! I think the minute hand from Sillan is also more accurate than the mccaw but might have to order a set for the GMT and hour hands

Yes! GMT hand looks nice. I’m gonna order them for my 16710 also.

I've got a GEN ExpII bezel in the drawer, for literally no reason... Might need to get that in M2M for you guys to build!

Have been meaning to share my build for a while but haven’t gotten around to it till now

• Dr. Vintage case
• Sillan Dial
• Sillan Hands
• Aged Sillan Bezel (waiting on Gen Pepsi to arrive)
• VR3186
• BP datejust crown (my AliExpress high quality one wouldn’t fit properly and couldn’t order another bc of tariffs)
• Parts bin crystal
• WSO click spring
• Ginault Bracelet
• Swiss spring bars
• Reshaped the lugs to remove some of the chamfering
• Reshaped CGs
• Recessed the Crown
• Full polish and softened all the edges

Looks awesome! What’s silian, where do you get it and what’s the price range for example a dial? Is it like viet?

Does the vr3186 fit the silane hands exactly without processing?

Yep, perfect fit

I'm not sure I understand which crown best fits the tube already in place?

"I used a B24 604 6mm crown this time, but the tube ended up being too long. Is there any way to fix this?"

 

[schmizniz]

I'm not sure I understand which crown best fits the tube already in place?

The tube has to be sanded down a bit from the outside. I bought an aftermarket 24.532 tube from eBay from a uk seller (came with all gaskets) and perfect fit with a 604 crown.

 

[drvintage]

Correct, the tube needs to be sanded a little or countersunk on the midcase.
