Did 14270 even come with. 3000? I know of 14060 & 14000.

You might wanna try a gen 16000 case.

It sure did. 3130 was when it transitioned into the 114270 36mm model with no lug holes and sels.

Thank you guys for the replies, I have a 3000 movement.  Would you know if that would fit or would the case need modding as well?

Stem height matches up but your have to use movement tabs.

Personally, I'd use a genuine 162xx datejust case and it would be all plug and play.

@blackboxes i was trying to remember where that went! I am glad to see that the gen jubilee is still on there

Back from the spa.  

Nice! reminds me of the gen ranger with gen snowflake hands. 

38mm Tudor Jumbo - custom dial, Rangerized.

I totally forgot i built one of these. Its been sitting in my drawer ever since i got my 94010 franken built. This is in a 94110 case. It has a swiss eta 2824 with the correct hard to find serif font date wheel.

Awesome work fellas!

I'd accept and swap out the DW for a gen one. It doesn't get any better than this..

shameless plug:

Thank you all for the links!!!

The Amazon one is perfect because I was just gifted a $25 gift card.

This is so perfect. Thank you all!!

Hi All,

I have tried to install a 7030 Clark tube on my vietnam case and it snapped off inside. I was lucky enough to get the broken piece out but I still need to install a new tube. Can anyone lead me to a online source where I can purchase this? I am local to Ofrei but I can not seem to find it on their website (or I am queuery-ing it wrong)

Heck if someone can loan me one I can send it right back. I'll pay for shipping both ways of course...

Thanks in advance!

Decided on no crown guards for a Friday. Tough decision though...

You are better off reselling that crystal or saving it for a future project with a different midcase.

Ofrei has 4 different t19's and one of them fits perfectly on the cartel case. I used it plenty of times.. I forgot which exact one.

I personally would let the gen dial age naturally. I'd bake the aftermarket stuff.

Please share a pic of the movement in the case.

Toss the basket and insert the athaya pearl directly into the hole. I just pushed my pip into the hole. I should really fill the pearl with paint.

Tudor Tuesday for me...

Anymore pics of the bracelet?

It would be a easier task to find a gen 16200 Datejust case then it is to find this 114270 gen spec case. Mines was the last one I saw for sale on RWI and it was years ago.

BUT if you ever come across a used eta 2824 complete Explorer 114270 rep, buy it asap. That is the best rep midcase ever made for the 16200 Datejust/114270 Explorer.

My franken says hellooo! I regret selling my old tritium build in a gen 16200 lug hole case but this luminova build will do for now.

I had Justin drill out my lugs on my old TC build and he did a excellent job. I am currently looking for another modder capable of the same job on my JF since Justin isn't taking in any new work until later this year. Is there another CONUS modder that anyone can refer?
