Yes, different threads which means different tubes and also different inner tubes so the easiest way to see the difference between a 600 and a 603 is by measuring the inner tube, see reference pic

Just ordered the case.

Thinking about just buying a BP 16710 to just take the dial, hands, and movement. Not finding anything Gen for reasonable prices at the moment

Good morning, everyone!

I’d like to show you my latest build of a 16710, which I put together with drvintage.

I asked him to help me so I could learn how a watch is built myself. What can I say? He told me I could come by, and he spent hours with me, explaining everything in detail.

Together, we color-matched the original hands to the original dial and assembled everything step by step.

He’s not only one of the best builders I know, but he’s also become a real friend.

Thank you so much for that!
Here some pictures of my Beauty!

i cannot disclose this tbh since i didnt just bought the case set but all the bell and whistles that drvintage provide such as the mid case ,rework of midcase crown guards engraving and assembly ! If i am not wrong you can buy just the mid case and assembly your self the price will differ !
