Tightening the cartel 1665 bezel assembly
Champagnesky replied to Champagnesky's topic in The Rolex Area
thx, the problem is that the retention ring and the bezel ring sit very tight together on the 1665 and they pop out in one piece. -
Installing a hev valve on a cartel 1665
Champagnesky replied to Champagnesky's topic in The Rolex Area
Great job here jmb, i see that you used 2 drill sizes. I assume that you did the smaller hole first? I actually want to lathe a he valve, ive got the specs from yukis site so making it wont be a problem, and I guess that the piece holding it on the other side is made of brass, so should not be a problem making one. Dont really know if the cartel case is gen spec for holding a gen movement in the future, do you have any info on this? -
As the topic says, have anyone tried it?

Tightening the cartel 1665 bezel assembly
Champagnesky replied to Champagnesky's topic in The Rolex Area
thx, i think i may be missing the ring, how do i remove the outer ring, it sits so tight? -
Hi! Ive been wanting to do a franken vintage 300 for a long time, considering that the 565 movements are pretty affordable it sounded like a nice project. Ive been in touch with another member on another forum who purchased a sillix rep and a gen dial and caseback. Unfortunately the gen dial and caseback had different sizes that the sillix one and were basically too small to fit. So using a sillix midcase kinda falls of. There are also cartel reps of the 300 out there, if anyone has one, could you measure the dial width and the caseback width to see if gen parts will fit? the sizes of the parts are: Sillix dial: 30.90mm gen dial: 27.50mm Sillix caseback: 34.97mm gen caseback: 34.16mm

What DWO did you use? -
Would laser cutting a dw be a solution? if the dws would be printed on thin pla?

damn those printed dials u do are really nice mate. Great build, real eyecandy

so clean! what case is this btw?

thx for the quick reply. I was completely sure they were the same diameter and height. The info i found on the 3035 was: Data 12.5''', Dm= 28.1mm, Do= 28.5mm H= 6.15mm (rotor stud +0.15mm) F= 2.05mm T= 2.15mm 27 jewels f = 28800 A/h power reserve 50h Hands 1.40 x 1.00 x 0.18mm and the 3135 is a little shorter, cant find any info on stem height etc. hands.
-
Hi! Does anyone know if the 3135 has the same dimensions as 3035? I have gen parts for a datejust 16013 build, case, dw, dial, hands. Was thinking about putting a sh3135 into it. Does anyone know if its possible to get the movement separately?

Just saw this thread, is it worth ditching my tc v6 and get the JF instead? Skickat från min iPhone med Tapatalk
