  1. Ok but these is for these 1675, but 1675 cornino has diferent GC. I have the a gen 1675 cornico and make the 1655 similar to 1675. I will mod other1655 to these case of 1675 because mine friend have one.
  2. I´m an amateur in case modification, then i try that not is perfect, and probably much people can get a better outfit.Mine advantage is that i have a Rolex GMT 1675 cornino, and i use it to try make the 1655 similar.I use hand polishSorry because are iphone photos.We part of theseAfter some polishing the GC get thesePolish more get theseNext step is make thin the case, round the edges.After more polish, and make more thin/round the case After i see interesting compare the 3 cases, genuine 1675, 1655 mod to 1675 and 1655 unmodified.The 1655 is thick, not rounded edges, and the cronw is bigger. And the distance between GC is big. I think change for smail cronw but i don´t know if will be correct.These pics was before the last polish and rounded edges.Now i ask a Clark bezel and insert for 1675 and WSO bezel i will see what is better.Too i waiting for a 1675 ingod dial.The option is same movement that have the explorer or use the DG3804. If use the second one i will need a "rolex datewheel". And too i need to drill the lugholes, how i can make it? thanks for read. Only make for take funny time, i know that i can´t make it perfect.

  4. The jewel that need is jewel-pivot in the center
  5. And in these part there is any jewel.
  6. Move and stop, mine watch smith told me that part of the jewel block the movement. But i need a new jewel for auto wind module, that is located in the red arrow.
  7. I have a 1570 movement, in mine 1665, but the other day stop after fall to floor. Mine wathsmith told me that the there is a jewel (rubi) broken. Some can tell me where i can buy a jewel for the watch, and too if someone know the reference number or the name that use for it. thanks
  8. I'm sure phong case are from Vietnam too. I have a Phong case and i love it. But 900 usd for the case from MQ is a good price.
  9. Mine personal experience with DW is awful. I ask a montecarlo case and daytona case for valojux 72 and 7734, and any of the case fit the movements. He don´t try to fix the problem in any moment. After i ask the daytona valjoux 72 case in dw-tk and he sent me a 1680 case. After i claim he sent me a valjoux 72 case and told me that don´t back the 1680 case. I have better experience with the web that the experience with dw.

    SA3135 stem

    I think about buy these movement but is the second time i read these stem problems. The stem broke so easy or make something abrupt? HAve try a ETA stem or other?
  14. Thanks great comparo shots..... if use 234 movement how have asymetrical pusher? thanks
  15. Just receive the case and extacly same case that Silix, these http://www.silix-prime.com/rol170-p-2087.html. Then is cheaper buy from Silix.
  16. Mine i hope arrive these week....but don't kjoe if are accurate.
  17. I love these watch...... some times i try to buy one in Ebay but it goes....in the last minute. After i decided make a franken one, i will get reduce a little the price.... First i get a gen dial and gen tritium hands and in theory a gen insert. After buy a Sandoz to canibalize to get a ETA 2784...... The next step was decided wich case use. First try use a case from new 5513 from Cartel, i assembled all but the insert was bigger, and too i have the case with the wrong identification text. Then i need to decide beetween Yuki, NDT or Phong. The price in these case was similar between Yuki and Phong, and i decided use Phong. Phong sent me a incorrect case, that has wrong identification text, but he fix the error asap, and sent a new one (take less than week). The dial fit perfect in ETA 2784 and no fit in 2824, but the have a problem with the hands. The hour and minute hands fit perfect in 2784 but seconds hands not fit. Then i goes to mine watchsmith, to mount it, after two days he can fit the seconds hands, it need to modify to fit (make bigger). These make me thing if the hands are really gen or maybe if Rolex modify the seconds pinion....really i don´t know. But mine watchsmith broke the tritium of the hands, and the watch stopped. At these moment when i saw mine watch with all the tritium off, i think to "kill" or maybe "cry"......but i understand that these are very delicate....and learn one lection change mine watchsmith. Then i goes other watchsmith......to fix it. Then he relumed the hands and service the movement. And for put the "in theory" gen insert need to use a dremmel, and when make these make the line that you see in the insert.... (i can assume because give some aging aspect....). At home i change the plexi from josh for a Clark one (116). And put a tritium pearl that one seller of ebay gift me when buy other thing. I need to change the datewheel, but after of these hard work..... and the work of the destroyer watchsmith....maybe prefer not change. Now the pics... And now i think in mine next project i need to choose between 1665 sultan dial or milgauss 6541/Rolex 6536/Rolex 6538.......the big question case from Yuki, NDT or Phong.....
  18. Great vintage Rolex.... Today mine new 6541 MBW
  19. Try to fit the movement in these case. He sent me two case and any fit the movement. Is the worst dealer that i have been traded.
  20. You need to find a Super SD second hand watch, in forum market. Actually any dealer has it.
