I was under the impression that 1570's movement are not hacking. at least mine does not hack and 1575 does.!!, who did the He Valve instalaltion.

Thanks

The later 1570 were hacking like in my 78 1680

Non hacks stopped around 1970-1972. My 1973 is hacking.

Mines the hacking movement used in the later subs, I believe the movements were often still stamped 1570. Might be wrong though. You need to speak to JMB who resides on your side of the pond re- Installing the He Valve into a non drilled case.

Congrats! Nice build! Nothing beats the Gen Insides (Movement, Dial, Hands)! Don't worry about the Case and Bracelet being a year apart. My Tudor 79090 Case and Bracelet are the same way. '93 Case and '94 Bracelet. Totally normal! Congrats and enjoy your watch!

Glad to see my old 1665 turned into such a nice piece...I'd never have the resource and expertise to dare venture into this level of franken build...

Congrats and enjoy...
