thank you 
Now the question I keep asking myself, do I use this for my Franken 16570? Or do I use the new BP? I have all the Gen parts for the BP I might just save this for another 16710 build 
not sure what to do……

just compare BP to my case and ask yourself do you want to spend so much money in a gen parts with BP case as a basis? xDNow the question I keep asking myself, do I use this for my Franken 16570?

I had a photo somewhere earlier..
Update here: I have tried rolex tools no6 and no7. These do not working too.Btw it seems rolex case opener tool size #6 (30,5mm) will fit to my case back.. I ordered one to test it out.
The new case backs has been ordered and I will exchange these after these was produced. I hope it will be in 6-8 weeks.

The biggest improvement in terms of bang for the buck would just the case swap with this one here. The overall appearance is to fat, which is difficult to modify. It would bug me far more than the hands or the dial, which are absolutely okay imhoNow the question I keep asking myself, do I use this for my Franken 16570? Or do I use the new BP?

Some work today with this Case.
Some test fitting.
This will turn out ver well I think.
Now waiting for 3186 movement, Hands, Gen Tube&Crown.
Keep you updated folks.
Thanks to Drvintage
Will post more Pics when my other needed Parts arrived.
All in all I can recommend this Case set and much more cheaper than Viet or other parties.

Just finished one today with slight mods on CG, which actually is not needed much.
Pictures along with OC 16000 case, also great case.

Wdym? Gen is like also. Only 6 digit endlinks will go all the way to the end of lugs
Maybe you need to take your time to learn more about 5 digit Modells.
Take a look here, that's Gen!
Maybe you do as well, I’m quite familiar with 5 digitMaybe you need to take your time to learn more about 5 digit Modells.

I’m talking about the sel to case fit. This is a clear indication that the sel is to short, towards the case. Same issues with the Viet cases. BP endlinks are not gen spec, well at least not all of them.
