@ Andy. I'm not the expert but i was also suprised that you can do work on a case without removing the movement. Especialy when you install a different kind of tube as which was in the watch before. I would like to keep the name of the watch smith out of the public area and give him a change to fix it. I hope that my GMT isn't damaged so badly that i don't want to wear it anymore. I'll keep you posted. Carpe Diem Cats

I'm in with By-Tor today. Changed to the black beauty modded by Bobby Have a nice day Cats

@ Freddy and Tribal. I didn't make a picture of the packaging but there is a small metal ring inside the factory sealed packaging. By the way should the tube hole in the case be counter sinked. If I'm not mistaken the tube is completely flat so i don't see a reason why to countersink the case. Could be that Noob case is counter sinked in the factory , that could explain the use of glue or epoxy on the original tube. Carpe Diem Cats

I just examined the tube that came out of the BK GMT tranformer and i saw some white residue on the tube. Already mailed BK if he installs the tube with epoxy or not but the residue was quit thick. Will shoot a picture tomorrow to show the residue. Carpe Diem Cats

Thanks for the offer Dirk i do appreciate it a lot. I'll ask my watch smith if he's able to do it the proper way and maybe solve it like you proposed. ( he is already aware of this topic here ) After all a paid for a installation of a tube and crown and can expect that it's done properly. I'll keep you posted By the way i just emailed . Carpe Diem Cats

Guys another question. Just got a word from my watch smith that he didn't uncase the movement so he doesn't understand why the movement is swinging loose in the case. I'm not a watch smith but isn't it tricky to change a tube with the movement still in the case , especially when i look at the instruction manual from Freddy. Carpe Diem Cats

Love this community how all the members give a quick response. @freddy333 do you have an idea how this should be fixed ?? Carpe Diem Cats

Thanks By-Tor i figure that can be a solution. And yes it's frustration i was going ballistic after i had to unscrew the crown with my teeth and find out that the movement was swinging around in the case. But that also explains , when you screw in the crown that far the stem will put a lot of pressure on the movement , let's hope that isn't damaged. I will you keep you all posted. Carpe Diem Cats

Forgot to ask, what about the crown position isn't that a bit to low or is this normal on a Noob case. Carpe Diem Cats

Thanks By-Tor and Tribal for your quick response. Oh my god the last transformer available and just what i thought the tube is in way to far. That figures why the crown was screwed in so ridiculously tight. Could it be that the watch smith didn't use the small silver ring which comes with the tube ?? Do you think that there is a way to get it fixed ?? Or is my 500 € for the GMT II and the tube and crown money down the drain ?? Carpe Diem Cats

It's been a bit of a disappointing day. My BK GMT II came back form the installation of a gen crown and tube. The movement was laying loose in the case. When i screwed out the crown i could move the dial inside the watch head by pushing the stem . The hands were slipping and the date changing also was slipping. Must have had a serious blow during transport or i something else happened. The crown was so tight that i had to open it with my teeth ( not to damage the crown ). I never had the opportunity to look at a gen tube on a 16710 but can the experts tell me if this tube is installed correctly. Personally i think the tube is screwed in to fat , or the countersinking is drilled to deep. Finally the crown position after the installation of the new gen tube and crown. Sorry for the crappy pics but i already packed the watch to send it back and i didn't want to wait another day. Thanks already for your opinion Carpe Diem Cats

Broke my promise , the GMT isn't in yet but i changed to the 1665 DRSD today Have a nice day Cats
