  1. The gold/white gold bezels are smaller (34.5mm?) than engine turned bezels (36mm).
  2. For the DWO tool, can someone make a PDF file so that it can be printed out? I feel it should be sufficient to print this in to a cardstock paper instead of 3d-print a plastic tool.
  3. My dad wearing the datejust 16014 I built for him. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. It seems silly to have a 24hr bezel without a GMT hand. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  5. For 1k you should be able to get Vietnam gen spec case and dial. Whether that’s convincing? I don’t know. Probably can’t fool anyone who knows this watch well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  6. What's your budget? That determines everything.
  7. I believe Phong can further customize the case to your exact specification, if you ask nicely. @occb2 may have details.
  8. For $400, MBK case does not seem to present a good price to value ratio. These days you can get a Vietnam gen-spec 1680 case from Ruby for less than $700 I think.
  9. I still don’t understand why MBK cases are superior than cartel JKF. The crown position is the same. The only difference I can see is the bezel scallops, where MBK looks more authentic. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  10. Why is MBK case superior to JKF? For the ones I see, the MBK ones still have same the stem position flaw as the JKF. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  11. There is no domed sapphire crystal for explorer. You should get a plexi. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  15. Thanks. That looks fantastic. Is it also lumed? I emailed them couple of times about 1016 dial, but they never reply. Was it custom printing request? I know some other builds have custom made space dweller dials from HR. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  16. I have never seen a HElenarou 1016 dial. Do you have a link? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  18. Shouldn’t cost you a grand unless you go with gold stuff and gen bracelet. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  19. You should be able to fit 2824 in 16000 (3035) and 16200 (3135) cases.
  20. I will be exciting to see such a build. However, keep in mind that jmb cases take 29mm dials in the seat, but with a smaller opening for 28mm dials not to fall through. 28mm dials may move a bit though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  21. 2824 fits perfectly, too. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  22. Factories should have their own capability to manufacture 2824 and 2836s. It's not a question of capability, but whether it makes business sense to do so.
  23. The initial r&d cost of a movement is high. The IWC PR movement cost factory $3m (18m RMB yuan) to rep. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  24. The demand is not enough. Most general public isn’t interested in vintage watches. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
