mrandazzo Posted May 19, 2012 Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 Take a look at this item on ebay... 150802438222 How much measure the gen dial? I have a spare cn version GMT master from which I can borrow the wrong hand stack 2836... Can this be a good idea or it's better buy a 1655 and mod it? Any comments is welcome! Thanks!

JoeyB Posted May 19, 2012 Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 At 27.2mm opening but designed for a 29+mm dial, you'd have to modify it to take the gen dial. It won't sit square. I'd recommend the 1655 and mod it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asf Posted May 19, 2012 Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 I'm assuming the 1655 case is not "fat" enough for the 16760? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyB Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 The 16760 is a sapphire crystal, the 1655 an acrylic crystal. The 1655 case, along with most we use on 1675 and 6542 projects, needs to be thinned down to be close to gen, so it's thickness might be close to a 'fat lady' before modding it.

Ahh I didnt know that the 1655 needed to be thinned out. Thats great to know. I need to use my gen 16760 dial and couldnt think of a case to use.
