The gen main plate is expensive, which I recommend as it has the serial number. Total cost is about 5k eur plus labor Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Did you also remove the phantom date position? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

You put a gen 4030 in there? I am toying with the idea of modifying a 16523 to 16520 by repurposing the movement and the midcase... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I may have a spare one but you can also get one from helena rou

You mean like this one? There are no obvious way to do it. Perhaps use a vietnam 6541 case and a 1655 bezel.

Thats because you have them too close to the flame/ and or leave it to long. It is easy to verdo it. I did it with numbers down, but very briefly. Its hard to control the process exactly so need plenty of spares

- 10 seconds on top of a gas flame, turning around - polish with ultra fine sand paper, followed by cape cod

And a chocolate brown insert. Much prefer that to the purple one...

Love it, here is mine Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
