My project 16520


chaussettevelo

Recommended Posts

Hello everybody,

I'm a French man, living next to Saint-Malo (Britany).

I have a 16520 case (N serial), without the movement. I have bought a Zenith el primero 3019 phc movement to place into my case but it doesn't fit perfecly into. The two pushers chronograph don't fit with the pushers case. Is a Ebel 134 movement could fit perfectly inside my rolex case?

Thank you very much.

Stephane

Zeleni, What does "<acronym title='Crown Guard'>CG</acronym>" please?

I have paid this case 45 euro on Ebay 2 years ago....Oufff!

45€ well then your safe :) i thought this was a gen case you hade or thought you have!

CG (crown gard) is the thing surounding the crown.

Bonjour de France, Stephane :)

To be clear, there is only 5 ways to have good cases here : cartel dealers (Josh, Andrew, etc.), DW, Yuki, NDT, or Phong.

I think you should consider buying a Phong's case kit if you have money, and if you do not want to bother about movement fitting.

NDTrading is also selling a case, but it's IMO a bad case, like I said in another thread.

I don't think DW or Yuki selling 16520 cases.

And cartel do not provide any El Primero-based cases...

So... I think the Phong choice is your only easy way to have a correct case :

Guys, please correct me if I'm wrong ;)

Movement who are not fitting is a common problem when you are making a Rolex rep with El Primero or Valjoux 72x.

Especially with El Primero, if I trust what I seen before :bangin:

The case you have here on eBay is a 7750 case. I guess your current case is also a 7750 case. This will never fit an El Primero :)

Stem height is crucial for this particular project. If the stem is not center inside the case tube (i.e. the stem is too high/too low) the stem is going to snap.

Yup. I just broke 4 stems this weekend, trying to cheat this truth on a project :( I dunno why I kept thinking "maybe this time it'll work!"
