Had some time tonight so figured I'd share with you all the current iteration of my 1675 vietnam gen spec case. I've been using these for the past few months in my 1675 builds without much fanfare, and haven't made a dedicated post until now.

Most 1675 gen spec cases from your favorite Viet parts dealer all come with pretty thick lugs - something I just dealt with until I got my genuine watch and compared the two. So, I've been nagging my supplier to tell the polishing guy to go heavier on the lugs, and voila! No need for reworking anymore!

See below for pics - the overly polished case is my genuine 2.6MM watch.








This was a shorter post than I imagined lol.

The gen lugs seems thinner though. =) there’s definitely some differences on CG profile too.

The vietnam case bezel is gen spec like a service bezel ring?

This is so valuable content! Thanks for the comparison mate.

Yep for sure - but my gen watch is overly polished and has lost a lot of metal. The general shape however is spot on, just slightly thicker. The normal Viet cases are much fatter on the ends, almost looking like sub lugs. Its hard to tell unless its compared side by side.
