Hell yes!!!!!! You've got it!

Great advice, that's probably what I will do. It's a 6200 case through and through. It's thicker to accommodate the a296 movement and has a kind of bubble back case back. The inside of the case is different too, I'm fairly sure a 1030 wouldn't fit right inside it..

Can't wait to see what you do with it

Best shot I've seen yet of that 5513 Dbane!

It will be sanded flat and plated, I think it will look ok after that. Thanks guys I will update after I get the dial

The 6204 project is aside because the case is not gen construction, the crystal sits in a grove in the case like the old mbw's.. There's no way to use any other than the one it came with, and the bezel doesn't hold a gen insert, it requires a larger one. The dial that was sourced was actually supposed to be used for the 6204, but now I will have it made as a 3-6-9 dial (same size and feet).. I'm not sure if the gen 6200 plate was countersunk but I know that most 3-6-9 dials from the various models weren't. A few were.
I only have one other big crown and it is currently getting a new red dial put inside. I eventually would love to add a tudor big crown too, either that or a 5510. Three is a good number

I always ask for pics, if the bevels are messed up I refuse it. He really did well with these though you're right, I'm thrilled! Thanks, it's the only cool one I have so I just put it on whichever watch I'm using at the moment. All my poor watches have to share the same insert and bezel lol

Helllllllo all, sorry that I haven't been as active lately, work was getting crazy and then I took a short vacation. I just got back though to a parcel waiting for me, and I could not be happier. As some of you know I have been obsessed with big crowns for a long time and one of the models that I'm most obsessed with is the 6200. There's something about the 3-6-9 dials and A series movements thats very appealing, but they all had those super long hour hands that I was never able to find.... until now!! Phong has stainless ones that I will have to have gold plated to mimic gilt and relumed (Gen gilt hands were actually gold leafed not plated but that's the best I can do!)
This is just the start, I also have the Gen dial plate sourced and am presently waiting for it to be redone, I guess the only thing I'm missing now is the a296 movement and a stem that fits an a296 and 8mm crown with a 1.1 mm thread...

Another member from Montreal here! There's 3 now including you if I'm not mistaken. Welcome to the madness

I lost mine too, but I just sent my crown/tube to phong to be installed on a case (he said he has an extra gasket for me) if he has another spare I'll send it to Dbane for you
-
The o ring that goes in the crown or the loose one?
-
Way to go! Almost there!
-
Thanks! It's one of the inserts I scored from my local ad

never tried an NDT coin edge bezel but I think phong's is better. Ndt very hard to get in contact with I think

The old one looks like it had no antireflective coating on the cyclops, new one does.
