This is a modern 116610 crystal with AR on the cyclops only I believe. But I'm with you, the modern crystals look really good! Clark's will be great

Thank you for the in-depth and detailed comparison. I continue to be blown away by this communities ability to go above and beyond the call.
16710 and 16570 are identical in case construction/dimension etc.
Certain suppliers are known to engrave at the request of clients.
So I got my 93150 back from being rebuilt and the gen end links didn’t fit well. So I remembered I had some from an eBay bracelet from a seller called riyi, can’t remember the exact name, but I think he’s fairly well known. Anyway, I think these end links actually fit perfectly with some 1.8mm spring bars.
Hey man - do you know if the Riyi bracelets come branded on the clasps? ThanksSo I got my 93150 back from being rebuilt and the gen end links didn’t fit well.

Yes you can order from him also the Oyster bracelets and clasps branded and stamped.
Take a lool at his site.
Has anyone a new link to the ebay case? The link from the first post doesn't work anymore.
I just bought a gen 16570 black dial, hands, dw and bezel and would like to order the case for building my franken.

And do you guys know if a 116610LN xtal should fit the case? I don't care about period correctness etc. and would prefer the extra AR.

I did some research and it should fit, as sub007 sold one for 116610 which fits also 16710. The case is the same for 16710 + 16570. So I'm going for it.

I'm not sure what the rules are about responding to such requests here, but I did a polar a few months ago with vr3186 and gen bezel/dial/hands/dw and maybe crown, I don't recall. Did come out quite nice though, have been thinking about doing another recently.I did some research and it should fit, as sub007 sold one for 116610 which fits also 16710.

6 digit Sub/GMT crystals will fit in 5 digit Sub/GMT/EXP cases. I put a B25-295-CAR-C1 in my gen 16710 and couldn't be happier.
Note that there are some differences between the gen Sub and GMT 6 digit crystals, most notably the edge profile and the thickness. The Sub edge profile tends to reflect the minute tics a bit more in that little vertical edge step it has. And its thickness means the cyclops is further away from the datewheel so date mag is increased. Adjusting the gasket height may be necessary if the date appears too large.
