I had a luck to bought an original bb58 case as basis. Athaya crown and pip installed. Movement 2824 incl holder is fitting perfect.
I’m still waiting for the Mercedes hands in rosé

Looks nice! Did you have to modify the case for the new tube to fit?

Thank you bro!

On my ZF case was the pressed tube mounted. So you have to modify the case
Is it a zf case or gen? (Can second the pressed/glued Tube for the 54)
So you had to drill and retap the thread aswell?

Here is standard ZF bb58 case / tube. The hole is app. 2,2mm wide. So you can easily drill a bigger hole for the 3mm thread.

Here is the gen case - here was already 3mm thread matched perfectly with athaya tube. I do not know if it gen or not. The case I bought was very strong used, I had to totally rebrush/repolishing all surfaces. Even caseback.
