IMO: Gen crown, gen endlinks, gen movement, gen clasp, aftermarket crystal. Hmm, about the caseback I don't know, on the pics is don't showing that I want to see...
Some pics from crown- and valve position would tell us more.
But still great work, congrats!!!
Hi,
I get this watch from a member to mod the HE Valve. He wants it with a matt and a obfuscate finish. So here it is, what do you think guys:

And some eyecandy from the hardly modded watch:
Thanks for looking...
I decided to put my new project together, a 16800 Comex Sub with HE valve. It's a MBW 16600 case with welded valve, and drilled new whole with correct HE valve.
The dial is relumed and Tudor hands are installed on a new ETA 2842 slowbeat movement. I still need to cut the stem and to get a MBW movement holder to finish it. Also I wait for the 580 Endlinks to arrive.
CG's and lugholes allready done and aftermarket springbars installed...so what do you think?
The first 1:1 BCE with correct graphite dial from Trusty was only for a short time available, I bought one a few weeks later and it was with the incorrect color, so I sold it again 'cause it disturbed me.
Later I've bought one from a RWG-member with correct dial and submarker. The coating was not OK at some of these models (like mine), but k2222 did rescue it.
The factory-coat get off with the time and it was too strong by comparing with a gen, and by far not the quality like k2222 AR!
It's not only to be blue coated, I need the AR character!
But I must say the problem is only on the BCE, the Steelfish AR seems to be OK...
