azgjav Posted March 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 i didn't do anything to the case to make the gen movement fit. seriously, it drops in so easily that it was a lil ridiculous! the lugholes were drilled with 1.2mm bits, then i used a round file attached to my powertool to open it up a lil bit at a time. they were then polished w polishing compound on a toothpick. the caseback is absolutely horrendous! it is way too think, has the wrong shape and lets water in as it does not seat well. i've replaced it w a display back made for gen 5513/1680s and it fits like a glove. Azgjav nice project, but l remember you are the owner of the most beautifull 5513 MBW Franken builts there are - on all of the boards. I choose on of those anytime, no matter how budget the Josh case is. Compliments to your watchmaking skills cheers mate! just replied ur pm. here're some that i prepared earlier: Stunned!!!! At first i did niot belive that you fitted a gen movement ect in such a cheep case but lit looks good! How was the T19 fitting with the case and retaining ring, did it need any work? Get a better pearl on there though that is quite off set, But still stunning the t19 fits perfectly! it's tight, which is always good, but not so tight that u'll crack the tropic. agreed! i'm waiting for my yuki pearl. azgjav, I apologize, I didn't exprim well my thought, you did a great work, I just wanted to criticized this case with short out of reality crown guards cheers mate! as much as i do not like the cgs and absolutely HATE the caseback, i think it is pretty awesome for a case that costs a lil over $100. you get a well made, modable case that takes gen parts and a really really good bracelet.

iwc3 Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 Thats a great looking display back. I've been scouring the web for a 5513/1680 display back. Thomas Preik is working on one, but they are about $200. Can you share who makes the one you used? Thanks, iwc3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
