Not sure about the plexi though. I would have to ask, but I think it was a Clarks!?

I'm using a Graef CM80 coffee grinder
I'm using a Hario V60 dripper and Hario server for a good drip coffee:
And I have a Studio semi-automatic pump machine for espresso.
Always depending on what I'm looking for that day
Thats something I have never heard before.
All 6 and 7mm Rolex tubes use the same thread.
This is the HH case before the re-tapping.
I wasnt able to get the tube to screw in fully
I used the thread tap I always use.
For 700 or 703 tubes or even 600 tubes.
Always worked, should work on a 702.

I just installed a yuki 7030 tube into a 5514 HH case.
Even though it was originally correctly tapped (correct pitch), I had to retap the threads to get the tube all the way in.
The biggest problem with the DD builds is that there was no steel DD, except that prototype 1803 - the one Ubi and Valty have built.
Visually, there is just a significant difference between a steel and a white-gold case.
So if you use a DJ case for your 18039 dial - you'll build a non-existing watch.
The 18039 would only work with a gen white-gold DD case.
Well, I hope the seller has it in his hands...so it'd be easy for him to take a snap of the inside or just check whether or not
the threads go all the way up.
From those small pics, it's almost impossible to tell...
Your pics are really, really small...but I'd have said 702.
Do the threads inside the crown go all the way up? --> 702
Or are they just at the bottom? --> 703
