New aftermarket 16710 case set

[Replicated]

Exactly, hands were bad I think.
You win some and you loose some. Lost a nice piece of kit, won a new experience.

Missed the picture but I can imagine it’s not good. Sorry mate, win some, lose some. Have a few beers and put your feet up

hello dear,
I received the case today and it is a fabulous product and I congratulate you.
I just wanted to know if it is possible to make the ring nut more rigid in turning.......do you have any solution for me?.
I disassembled the ring nut and I bent the clutch washer a little, but it still remains too loose in turning.
Thanks for your advice.

[miscio62]

If you tried the ones from ewatchparts I understand. They are shit and no gen spec at all. Crap store in general

Great build!

Got the same setup and aged the bezel. My favorite watch.

And I put a Gen Crystal on with AR cause non-AR is just not for me..

This is gorgeous! Gen crystal really makes a huge difference, I feel like the mag on the generic ones just isn’t as good

Agree. I have one on the way in the post will change it out as soon as I get it. Overall look the gen xtal is just much better

Now if only I could find a nice aftermarket bezel that doesn't cost $200 I haven't frankened the rest of my watch so not trying to spend a lot on the insert just yet. But all the aftermarket ones seem to have the pepsi colors off or don't have the rounded 2's

Yeah the clarity they get right most of the times but the mag is where Gen Crystal really shines and I think it’s worth it. I think in any rep that’s the no 1 upgrade to do.

And yeah Gen bezels aren’t super cheap but I finally bit the bullet on one and I think it’s worth it. The coloring and size - there’s so much room for error with aftermarket ones

I bought a 16710 case from Old Crown dotcom because it said the B24-603-06mm is correct, but it won't go in. Which crown is correct without processing?
