[dpd3672]

Damn, I need to build more and order less...but I'm gonna want one of these, too, lol. Got some very nice gen bezel inserts waiting to be used.

Still curious about that myself.

Looking great . CG a bit fat compared to gen ?

Looks great! Better than the BP offering.
But I also wonder if the CG is a bit chunkier than gen 16710/16750.

 

[drvintage]

The opening between the CGs is 0,7mm smaller as on my drawings. You can dremel this little bit wider, if you want.
I did nothing - it is not recognisable irl and it still looks better as on BP or even viet cases

I do not offering the engravings yet.. the engraving machine is already here but I still need some parts and time to develop the process. This is not so easy if you want to get a good result.

Would the caseback thread fit BP cases?

Would the caseback thread fit BP cases?

If BP caseback do have a gen spec thread then yes. I tried a Vietnam caseback on my case - it fit well.
