The cartel case needs some serious metal removal to get it close to the gen. If you touch base with Ado who has his own section on the forum here he may be able to help you out. He has a precision engineering company and did a fantastic job on one of my previous 1655 builds. Actually you might also want to consider going the 2846 slow beat route and see if helenarou can still supply the GMT parts. You will need to remove the adjustable gmt hand function to make it as close to the gen 1575 movement.

Good luck with the bu

Thanks man!

did you use the 2846 in your Project? Sounds interesting!

Insert is from another Vietnam Guy with very good prices.

today i received my watch from Josh now I’m waiting for a few other things and I’ll bring the watch to my modder 

Thank you Guys!

this is much more complicated than i expected.

for me is the feeling with a gen 1570 that what i need...an ETA will never be the same.

i Just ordered a Couple of Parts like Vietnam Insert and a Very Good dial and tiger hands. these i‘l Use the watch from Josh

I read in most threads of the Cartel Cases you have to work on it , but what exactly is necessary to make it Gen like ?

in my Case for 1655 build.

can please anyone tell what exactly is to do on the case?

Can anyone tell me is this 1570  the correct movement?

seller said its Only for Submariner. 

I thought its the correct one
