Nice one Bart! Thank you

Yours looks pretty much spot on to me.

It's a service insert I picked up in an M2M sale next door.

Yes gen size is 27mm. However whatever fits the case does the job

Very nice 6538 dial Bart! Is it 27mm diameter?

Agree. Here's one installed on my 1665, cost ca.€100.

No problems fitting. A nice snug fit. Generally, if you do encounter problems fitting the retaining ring it's no biggie to sand down the outer diameter of the crystal slightly.

Looks great! Congrats!

Welcome! Looking forward to seeing some of your builds.

You can pick up rep 702 crown and tube from Athaya, a member here and also other forums. This can installed by countersinking and re-taping the case as described previously. Good luck with your build.

Well, I went for a Yuki 7206. After some modding it didn't turn out too bad. You'll find the story here: http://rwg.cc/topic/177949-yuki-7206-bracelet-no-longer-accepts-gen-spec-bars#comment-1450950

Don't go for the Clark T19, it distorts the rehaut. The CWP T19 is waaaay better! Naturally more expensive though.

Fantastic build! Great shots too! Thanks for sharing

My mistake, typing error. Apologies for the confusion. To seat the Athaya tube snugly, I used a 6.3 mm x M3-90 degree countersinker first to create the sloping 45 degree angle. Then a ca.3.2 mm drill bit to widen the hole ever so slightly to a depth of ca.0.3 mm. This creates a small step and angled sides for the tube to sit in. I then cleaned, and extended, the remaining case thread carefully using a M3 x 0.35 tap.

I think you'll find there's a groove on the case back rather than the case itself. Pictures would help too.
