glennmichael Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 Dear all, I need some advise on the Gen parts that suits which Josh's base case better. I am contemplating between Josh 1:1 1675 and 1655 explorer Reason to choose Josh 1:1 1675 1.) No need to worry about purchasing new hands set and fitment 2.) Better movement i suppose? 3.) Lug accepts my Gen Jubilee 62510H with 550 EL better compared to 1655 case (i suppose?) 4.) Accept Gen 16750 dial better compared to Explorer case? ( anyone can advise?) Reasons to choose 1655 1.) Cheaper base cost 2.) Better CG than 1:1? 3.) accept Gen tube and crown better? PLease advise and I would greatly appreciate if you could correct me if I'm wrong. Many thanks!

bigjule111 Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 Hello glen. My vote is for the 1655. We spoke on the issues of the 1:1. I say 1655 all the way. The case is what u after on both of these anyway Everything on the josh 1:1 has to. Replaced. Getting hands r cheap. There's nothing else u can use besides the movement. And if ure going hardcore on ure build its not the correct one to use. Eventhough I agree, I rather have a nice Swiss eta for my build then sum chepo movement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akira Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 Hi Akira, I've got not much of a technical skill to do it myself Well, maybe you should check out the member Rolexaddict. He built several 1675's the last few months, including my Franken 1675. He's now a trusted modder on RWG1.1 http://www.replica-watches-guide.com/forum/index.php?showforum=220 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
