Yeah, already have a gen insert and a eta 2824-2 to install. I'm debating on crystal and crown. Didn't tc used to say that he only recommended to replace the insert and the crystal?

No that was BK who replaced the xtal on everything. TC was very proud of his inserts too always trying to improve them.

Sounds like BK alright. I had one. He took the TC added a gen ETA, Gen crown, Gen xtal, H4 pinion and a gen insert.

Experts: if I get a Ginault Ocean Rover 1 no date, can I build a nice 2-liner?

Would need:
2 liner dial (raffles?)
Hands (raffles?)
Crown gen

What else?

14060 dials are slightly smaller in diameter than the 16610’s. As a matter of fact, so is the 14060 case by comparison. My understanding is that it can be “made” to work and has been done by a few members here, but there will be some compromise if you’re intent on building one.
