Which curvex case to accept gen dial?

[Prancuzas]

Hi peeps, looks like Silix can provide my 21j crazy hour in mid size that I could franken a bit.
My question is - which case size would have the biggest selection of gen dials later on ebay?


Here's the number I found
30mm x 45mm x 10mm
31mm x 45mm x 11mm
31mm x 45mm x 10mm
32mm x 45mm x 11mm


Or it's the same case size just different ways of measuring it?

Love crazy hours!!! I've been trying to source a gen Black Croco crazy for months. $20k US was the cheapest I could get it for. So instead I bought a 4 axis cnc mill. Screw it. For that money I'll make my own.


There are 10 types of people in the world. Those who use binary and those who don't.

Oh yeah, so my point was that I'm building a 8880esque case which will accept gen glass. I wasn't planning on copying a FM outright, but it may be a fun project.

Silix told me all of them are 33mm (overall sizing term), so as far as I have read that gen Jumbos dials are quite rare, I will try to go with this size and will keep my fingers crossed dial from ebay will fit this!

Please let us know. I am very curious if it fits. Thanks!

Still waiting for QC pictures from Silix. Wanted the one with blue hands.

I will update this thread, no worries

Yeah the jumbo dials never come up. I've had toumii on the lookout for one for me for about 6 months, not a sniff. Bought a black 'ruby' cintree curvex CH from Sead a while ago which he told me was midsize but turned out to be jumbo it's been a box queen ever since and I'll probably end up selling which is a shame as it's a beaut, but it really needs a gen dial so I totally understand your quest for franken. GL!

Can I contact toumii for dials that are not listed?

Now about the purchased - QC pics approved, should have the watch in 2-3weeks!

the last time I spoke to Jae (which was yesterday) she hadn't been able to get Crazy Hours dials for some time

 

[soze]

I've been looking for them as well, and she said she hasn't seen it, particularly the Long Island Crazy Hours.
That is the donor watch I've been looking for, as I still have a gen dial I want to place into. Anyone have any leads for which dealer still can get them? So far no joy with each one I've contacted.

What about Silix?

 

[soze]

I've tried Silix last year and just a few weeks ago.
Michelle said they don't have it available.
However, thanks for your suggestion, Prancuzas.

Any updates Prancuzas? I figured you got your watch by now.

 

[Prancuzas]

Yeah, got it, and sold it - not my cup of tea - looks better in pictures

The only version of Curvex i could imagine wearing is the jumbo case size, but as far as i know the market of gen dials for that case is very very limited...

can I ask where you found it? I have been looking for a jumbo size long island myself for ages!

 

[Prancuzas]

Anyone wanna try?
