Is the real one on the right ? I'm guessing by the cyclops magnification.
 
I always wonder why Rolex chose to alter the perfect shape of their case to make it so blocky, remove the bevels, etc 

Any news here?

Welcome back!

I miss the old days and also the members.

Upgraded to Platinum, hope it helps.
Cheers Tribal

Great ones from the old days.
After the reps get better over the years, we can see the old stuff is something special and can't be beaten this days.
Wonderful pieces, I like a lot!!!

There are a lot of Microbrands that came up on Kickstarter this days. Most of them claim Swiss Made, but when you look at it, it's clearly Chinese Stuff. People with no knowledge about watches jump on the train and think they have have a unique timepiece.

Really weird.🤢

They go really expensive! 😲

Weird!!!

Good to see you again.

Good news I think .

Congrats to Mike on a bike.

It's like gen.

I see, thanks, D
So the construction is not 100% par to the gen then.

The bezel fastening ring is the retainer.

I will take a look at, when I install a gen Tube. To countersink the Tubehole you only need to measure the last dip of the Tube.
There must be enough space for the gasket.

So it's mostly the same construction than on a 116610.

The crystal clips in the plastic gasket. The retaining ring holds crystal and gasket in place.

There is a Hyrtel ring inside the bezel that hold it in place.

Do u understand?

Yes, you don't understand.
Must the Tubehole drilled to right dimensions?

Yes like gen construction. glass with gasket fitted over Rehaut. Retainer pressed over glass with gasket.

Like this!

Thanks mate, do u know if the Tubehole must be drilled or only retapped?

Have you tried the Rep-crown on the generic Tube?

Anyone knows if the new DW 126600/116660 are fitted with the 703/704 crown and the 7030 tube?

Or there are new specs for these later models?

We talk about ARF!

Yes, just pop it off with a knife.

On the Pics you see, crystal, movement holder, retainer, case and bezel.

I had to have my SD43 tapped and countersunk to accept a gen spec 7030 tube. The ARF stock tube is poorly glued in there and certainly not reliably water resistant. I used loctite blue on the tube thread plus all 5 gaskets to seal her up tight.

Yes, it's much thicker than a Sub crystal.

Here you can see the construction.

Yes it will fit, but hard to get!

I haven't reinstalled the Rep Tube yet.
But I think it must be countersink.
On the Pic is the Rep Tube.

Yes, Same as usual.
