Rolexaddict Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 A shortened rep crown need a shortened rep tube. The best way is to screw the tube a little deaper in the case (arround 0.5mm) To seat the rep tube deaper, the easy way is to chamfer the case tube hole. About lug holes : personally I drill at 1.3mm. Most of the time 1.2mm is to tight. I made a little blue print from the classic Rolex springbars specs for vintage Sub/SD/Explorer/GMT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

takumee Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 I just got one frim josh as well. Any kind souls can provide me e ditect link to buy e slower eta to fit this case? Thanks alot. If not convenient can pm me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marrickvilleboy Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 Easiest and cheapest way is to just replace it with a DG 2813 - which is the slow beat Asian movement. Its sturdy and easy to replace. Otherwise you can buy it off ofrei and the likes or ebay. I just ordered one from Josh and will be doing the transplant when it arrives.

Guest jsuperman17 Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 I still don't understand how those cg's look fat on that case! So the tube was shortened to make the crown more flush? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pr0digy30 Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 Hmm... snowflake. Glad I ordered two of these! Now I know what to do with the other one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turnipz Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 Sorry which are we looking at for the tudor base, the 5512 or 1680? And you mean the 98$ one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jsuperman17 Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 The case is the same for both I think and the same case is used for the 21j and eta clone movement... Only difference is the movement ring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woof* Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 Yuki's case is 450$, so if the Yuki dial fits this case....it's a nobrainer for me to use Josh's case.. It's back to collecting more parts for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turnipz Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 Ya it sort of depends how authentic you want it to look, I mean you may actually be able to keep the crown on yukis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turnipz Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 I read this: That watch deal ended up not being built because the tudor dial doesnt fit josh's 1680. Am I missing something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 I'd you look a few posts up you will see before your eyes the Tudor dial in this case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcl Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 I'd you look a few posts up you will see before your eyes the Tudor dial in this case Fits lovely! So tempting to do one of these, but my wife says we must feed the children soon. Marc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turnipz Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 Ah I see, I wonder why it didnt fit that guys 1680 from josh. Maybe it was a movement problem or something, though the guy sounded really good who built it so the dial would be the only problem I could forsee.

oberblender Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 Traded my AP Black Themes for Frank's 5512. Nice to read all the post history about my new watch! Very happy with it... will wear it with love. Only thing that it still needs would be new lug holes... guess I'll better not do them myself, though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmb Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 Only thing that it still needs would be new lug holes... That is the first thing I did to mine! I used to be content with the small holes until I "knew better", now I can't stand to wear one until the holes are the right size. It's all this forum's fault, too!!!

Star69 Posted March 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 (edited) careful with the lugs-holes ! not always size matters Edited March 17, 2011 by Star69 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oberblender Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 careful with the lugs-holes ! not always size matters despite that size does matter, I agree mailed domi, if he can do this and how expensive it is, but strangely he has not replied yet. Till he replies, I guess I am also safe to wear it with the little lug holes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m.and Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 Either I missed it somewhere in this thread or it wasn't addressed, but does this version accept a gen or aftermarket bezel insert as well as a crystal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
