That’s beautiful ????

The Vietnam case is almost identical to my gen sub.

With noob 16622 2180 caseback fitted they are both 11.9mm thick. 40mm width.

The gmt seemingly looks larger as the diameter of the dial is a fraction larger than that of the sub.

Viet Case TRIPDOG, VR3185, Gen Dial (refinished), Gen Hands, Crystal, DW, Insert, Crown/tube, Italian 78360 from MarkiMark, Assembly Adrian, endlinks wso

This took well over 15 months with lots of idea and parts changes, Started out as a BP but we couldnt fit a Gen crystal and bezel even with lots of laser welding, I really should of started with Viet case

Absolutely beautiful. How's the movement running for you?

Dial and hands are a great match as is the aged insert.

Other than going gen, what’s the best bracelet option available? I have a raffles jubilee but I can’t warm to it so I’m now wearing mine on a 6 digit gmt bracelet with brushed centre links until I find an oyster I’m happy with. I have the option of using my gen 93150 from my sub but I do t want the hassle of swapping each time.

I apologize if the question was already asked 10k+ times but… from who/where this case set can be sourced?
