Making a gen style 16710 case out of a 16570 case and TW bezel assembly

Oh, this works very nice! I used a Clark's bezel, Clark's GMT click spring and Clark's crystal to re-case my 'retro'. This is the 4th (and last) case for this watch! The no etching crystal with the solid mid and end links allowed me to build the 'K' series I like the most. Very solid and high quality feel to it. The 'retro' was the very first watch I bought after coming to the rep sites, the 16710 'Coke' was my favorite. I didn't like the 'Pepsi' or the Jubilee bracelet back then. Things have changed a lot since, I didn't even know what a 6542 was! Now I've gone full circle. But I've come to love them all, the 6542 'Pepsi'/Jubilee, the 1675 Cornino 'Pepsi'/Jubilee, and the 16710 'Coke'/Oyster and the 116710 ceramic/Oyster. It's getting hard to choose a watch each day!  

 

Pretty straight forward build as BK shows. By-Tor advised me on the finishing touches to the crown guards and bracelet.

Over all it looks darn good mate, but the cg's needs still some work if you want it to be perfect, they are to round or somthing i cant realy put my finger on what it is.

Is there anything against using a 16570 case that DOES fit the gen assembly? X serial case

Do you have a case like that? If so bro, can you post a pic?
