The screws on these casebacks are proving to be troublesome for members, and is probably why the TDs aren't willing to open them.

They take an external (or female) torx socket but the problem is the screws are also recessed so the walls of the sockets are too thick to fit in the recesses. One member fabricated his own tool. I think the socket walls could be slimmed down by hand with sandpaper or carefully with a dremel sanding drum. Bit of a hassle to deal with this arrangement.

Like these but need to find out if E4 is small enough

New GMT DiW with transparent caseback on biao. That is the only pic available unfortunately. Can our resident expert [mention]KJ2020 [/mention] identify the movement (advertise as 3186)? Also I can’t tell which factory is producing it

That's pretty nice. GMT hand color is off though. I would have picked RG as a sure thing, or maybe some other color splash.

Movement is undoubtedly a VR3185

Are there more of these? They are growing on me!

Oh I don't dispute that bro. My beef is with the original design choice.

I used the same yellow in the strap for my mock up. Looks worlds better to me and I would do it in a heartbeat if I had one to play with.

BTW that gen strap looks s lot whiter too. Maybe just lighting, IDK

beautiful watch….it seems that the rep is quite off on colors and lume looking at photos or I miss something?

however…is quite difficult finding a gen around …so, for me, green light when available :thumbsup:
