Thanks pal. Actually I had no idea that VR made a V2 of its 3185, thanks for flagging! You got yours from trillofhunt? Should I specify that I want the v1 - if still available?

Hi everybody.
I'm planning this project since a couple of years.
Now I'm collecting all the pieces including tripdog's case.
Which one is the right tube and crown for his case?
There are goods aftermarket pieces or only gen one?
Thanks so much.

Yes, I bought two. I’m almost done in collecting gen parts necessary for 16710 and 16570 build. To me is the real VN killer, true 1:1 construction. You get mid case and case back and you need to get the rest (like bezel, retainer, crystal etc) but these are still parts one would very likely swap with gen, so with almost the half of € you get a base by far superior to any other current alternative. Plus, the maker is well respected member of this community and a true gentlemanHas anyone tried this case?

Good to know! He said to me on ebay that also a bezel is in production! The case has no engravings correct?Yes, I bought two.

Yes and given the quality of its case I am eagerly waiting for it
Confirm 100% sterile so no issues with shipment.
Caseback is different from sub, here are comparison pictures with ZZF 116610 caseback (with sticker). The build will end up 12.40mm when you use 2.7mm gasket.
Here is a pic of my 16710 using this case. All gen, except midcase, caseback and insert.

It does look very nice indeed, but how do you know it's not made in VN? Sure is an attractive price. I paid $700 which included a caseback, shitty crystal, shitty insert, rusty tension ring and rusty click spring.

Mind if I ask what the tube and crown combo was used with this new caseset? The VN caseset technically had the wrong tube size and tap, but was easily over come by an older tube…
Build looks amazing though!
What would you say is the most reliable source for gen parts with a watch like this? As someone who only currently has a midcaseCaseback is different from sub, here are comparison pictures with ZZF 116610 caseback (with sticker). The build will end up 12.40mm when you use 2.7mm gasket.
