The 16613 Gang - Show off your 16613 TT thread!

I’m proud to finally be in the club. I must have read this thread from beginning to end 3 times in the last year.

TC V7 mid case with drilled lug holes
Gen Rolex 18k Bezel
Gen Insert
Gen 18k 703 Crown
Gen tube
Gen tritium insert
Gen Tritium dial and matching 18k hands
Gen date disc (open 6/9)
VR3135 movement
Ginault caseback (engravings removed)
Gen 401b TT endlinks (not pictured)

Really needs a gen bracelet, then it’ll be perfect. Currently have a selection of wm9 and other 93153 and 78363 bracelets that don’t quite do it justice.

They were brilliant in their day. Heavily plated bracelets. They are all so old now that plating on a lot of them has suffered. I have a Startime 18k on mine with a gen clasp. They are expensive but you can polish it as long as you like as it is 18k gold

Also Startime gold is a lot closer in colour to Rolex gold than something like a WSO 18k bracelet.

I was looking over the 16613 thread and wondered if anyone has had a look at using a ARF v3 as a base model to work from. I was wondering what people's thoughts on what model would be best to use now a days?

I do not know the ARF. But if it is 6 digit the case will be too thick, CGs too wide and rehaut too deep for a 5 digit 16613.

Just ordered a star time 18kt bracelet for mine. Not cheap pics hopefully by Thursday. I just had to do it. I just hated looking down at the cheap plated ugly Color gold bracelet on such a beautiful head.

The startime bracelet wanted to know how heavy is it, is it hallow endlink.

The reason I ask is I am looking for a gen bracelet or startime with my WM9 goldthrough clasp however my Franken is a mid 2000 look with gold clasp bracelet model wanted to know if the startime bracelet match this, or is it for the older SS clasp model
