Max72 Posted November 11, 2015 Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 (edited) So, I've started to collect the parts for my 1655 "Freccione", so far I have:Gen Service Dial,Gen Service Hands,Gen MK IV bezel,Gen 1575 GMT movement.Gen old style NOS Tropic 116Still on the shopping list:Phong's 1655 Mid case + case backGen 6mm winding crown + tubeGen Bracelet, either 78360, 62510H, 93510 (I'm still deciding although I'm leaning toward the "D link" jubilee) I need to know which 6mm winding crown should I buy. I know that the1655 uses a men's Datejust 6mm crown as opposed to the 1675 5.3mm crown. Has anyone got the correct Rolex part number for the crown + tube?thank youMax Edited November 11, 2015 by Max72 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max72 Posted November 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 would this crown/tube combo work? Can I still use the winding stem that goes in the 1575 GMT movement with the 1675 style 5.3mm crown or do I need to source a different one?thank you so much for all your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max72 Posted November 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 I'm still trying to find the correct tube and crown and then I will have to find a modder for case reshaping and aging Sent from my iPhong using a rep app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max72 Posted July 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 An update on the parts gathered Phong's mid case and case back are the last items left on the shopping list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
droptopman Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 Awesome. This is going to be a really special build 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max72 Posted July 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 I still have to find a modder for when I'll have the case. Slay with his amazing builds really put a dent in the explorer fund but I couldn't resist the tropical 1680. Except for my Suunto since I parted out and sold the 1675 I have no watch and have to rely on my cell phone to tell time and that makes me sick Sent from my iPhong using a rep app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
