  1. Gen 16800 had 593 end links, not 501bs. The profile of the 3035 st case(if that is what you have, although it looks more like a 3135 case) needs to be trimmed slightly to meet the curves of the gen 16800. That said, a set of 580 ends fit the overall profile of the ST case a bit better and no need to reprofile the case.

  2. I didn't realize the tiger case had gen style bezel/crystal construction. I may have to get one of these.

    The HR dial is 29mm but there's plenty of room for shaving. I shaved 1.2mm off mine to get it to fit on my modified case. I still have to shave the rehaut a bit because the HR seconds hand is a tad long.

  3. As I go through my parts bin and look at what I have, versus what I need for my different Fall projects, I realized that the case I have does not work with the 5512 dial I planned for the 5512 McQueen build. This forced me to sell a few items and sort of start from scratch. 

     

    The DW Submariner case I have has a dial opening too big for the gen 26mm 5512/5513 dials, but would work for a vintage 5512 dial(26.5-27mm) or even a 1680 Sub. Now, I like the simplicity of the no date Subs and would love to build a decent 5512. I have a great 2846 movement for it and decent gilt styled hands, as well as a t19 crystal that just looks like the t16, so the question is, can this Ingod dial work for a PCG 5512, or would it be too old and thus only work on a square crown guard Sub?
