Tks! You have to counter sink the hole so the tapered part can go in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ueno Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 I've built a 1680 with a DW case before and everything worked fine. I installed a gen tube and crown, I put a 2846 eta movement in there but I had to make the movement holder for the case. I fitted a gen crystal too. Good luck mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
