1575 in a mbw case

There is not only 1 mbw case around there are many different cases at the market.

Sometimes it works, like on my mbw sometime it does not work.

In any case - you need gen hands.

You might want to upgrade to a more accurate Vietnam case if you're going to be housing genuine movement, dial and hands. And it will take the 1570/5 directly.

A Yuki case would be another option.

I seem to remember something about also having to dremel a little out around the nine o'clock area, but that may have been on a 1665 MBW case.

Both of these MBWs are gen powered. I had to shave a small amount of metal from the calendar ring on the 1575 to get it to fully seat into the case & grind a small flat spot on the pillar plate to give the Hev clearance (note - the gens do likewise). Otherwise, both 157x movements fit their respective (3+ year old) MBW cases without incident. They have also been fitted with gen crowns/tubes, crystals, bezel/insert/pearls, handsets & bracelets, so, excepting their dials (both of which are modded non-MBW aftermarkets) & MBW mid-cases, they are nearly gens
