Hello friends

I have bought a 5513 case from him before, lovely case shipped to the UK without issue.... so I have no reason to doubt him if he states it fits a gen movement.

@Bivintagestore is a member on this forum too....

The 2836/24 would require a movement spacer FYI, although I'm assuming you will be using a VR3135 in your build,

Yes the seller told me that for eta i will need a movement ring.
Yes i prefer 3135 .
You think the case will fit gen parts bro?

As long as it's a genuine spec Vietnam case then it should fit a 3135 without issue. That seller is known through the form and I've seen them referenced many times before. There is nothing that jumps out at me that would think it wouldn't nor that the seller would be an issue based off of reputation around the form

@Tony7 I have enquired about this case with bivintage previously and he did mention to me that it was a gen spec case so you should be fine.

Can send @Bivintagestore a message on here but his cases do tend to be GEN-spec, internally.

There is also, which is nice: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/404262404456

And (very expensive): https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/235544039528

The first case seller is well known to a number of forum members and there are case reviews on here, etc. One of our members provided feedback to the V1.0 design to get the V1.1

The second case... Photos taken from Ruby/VintageWatchparts store... Could be an EU reseller or something else... but you'd have ebay/PayPal protection.

It's why I prefer ebay for transactions, even if it costs a few extra bucks.

Lots of bank holidays, globally, at the moment, people taking time off, etc. Wouldn't worry too much yet. If it was done through ebay, will work out one way or another. Haven't seen any BV 16610 builds but the 4-digits get very mixed reviews. Not a fan of the crown guards or bezel and insert (which you'll be changing anyway) in the pics you have posted but I appreciate you can have the custom engraving and don't need to drill the lugs, which makes it pretty good value.

Yes that was thinking, to take arf 16610 and drill the lugs holes by my self .
You think its from holidays thats why he doesn’t answer my messages?

 

[Singapore9]

ARF is an option but would come incorrectly engraved of course for a 16613.

Re. messages - no idea but a lot of people seem to be off at the moment, across the globe.

I bought a very rare plexi from Italy a few weeks back. I could have walked there are back, according to Google, twice in the time it took to be dispatched and get here.

I also have ARF and would like to make the holes. Do you know how to do it or who to do it for?
