My eBay case arrived.
The 24-6330 tube that I got from WSO and was planning on using on a Viet case does not seem to fit the eBay case.
I think someone mentioned that it needs a 5330? Tube
I just thought I would confirm that for anyone interested.

I asked the seller when I got mine and yes, 24-5530 tube is what's supposed to fit the eBay case

Can anyone confirm if parts from BPF 16710 are compatible with the Ebay case? I’m guessing the bezel is not since BP bezel isn’t nowhere near gen spec, but will BP’s bracelet fit? Or crown and tube?

On this BP 16710 CHS I did the following mods:
- Shaved crown guards
- replaced the case back for a slimmer one ( bought on eBay) So thickness is: 12,5 mm
- replaced the coke insert by a Pepsi one clicked on the bezel like Gen (not glued)

Well I picked up two of these casebacks and they are definitely worth it! The biggest tell on my Viet 16760 build was the thickness. These new case backs shave nearly 0.5 mm off the total thickness putting it very close to the 12mm thickness of a genuine case. Here are some pics showing the difference. Enjoy!
