Erict719 Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 I am gettin interest in no date sub. Did wm9 ever made one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ephry73 Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 I am on the same boat. Plenty of reads about a potential 5513 case for a donor but that's it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghost Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 Interesting that you're bringing this up. I've a 14060 gen dial that i've been wondering where to fit into. Now i've since gotten a MBW POLEX Shitinerand 16610 case set with a crystal (sans cyclops)! So now i'm hoping it'll all come together....final-fn-ly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ephry73 Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 The 16610 case will have too big a rehaut opening for the gen dial. I have a gen dial and it falls through on the ST, TC and Wm9 cases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basketbob951 Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 16610 no date does not exist... You mean the Sub 14060 right ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highoeyazmuhudee Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 14060 dial is the same size as a 5513 dial. however, TC may be able to help us out soon, by making some 16610 dials that have an hour marker at 3. easy enough to put into a 16610 or a star time 16800 case. remove the cyclops on the crystal (which ive done easily with a chisel and a few stout whacks) , once he completes his ultimate 16610 sub to his perfection hopefully he'll give this project some attention. maybe showing some support for the idea will reassure his potential investment.

lionsandtigers Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 There's a Gen 14060 case on the bay. It's the only option for building a decent franken. It's a different case then a 16610. Rehaut is almost half as deep as the 16610. I've never seen a halfway convincing build of this model. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
automatico Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 Time Warp... I have a '14060' type nd submariner that I got from WLD (watchlover david) about 12 years ago and the case has 'stawless steel' and 'E 116610' on the 12 o'clock side and 'orig roly design' and no numbers on the 6 o'clock side...iirc the dial is the same size as in noob F520117 submariners. I driilled the lug holes out to accept submariner springbars and put an aftmkt tube and genuine crown in it about 10 years back (the tube/crown was removed and used in another project). It sure looks a lot like an F520117 noob case, thin 'rehaut' and all. Stawless steel beats 904L. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ephry73 Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 Gen bezel assembly or wire spring? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erict719 Posted May 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 As I know 14060 is smaller then 16610 , even tc make a dial, the case still wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

highoeyazmuhudee Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 As I know 14060 is smaller then 16610 , even tc make a dial, the case still wrong thats true but its better than nothing and i would settle for a decent dial in a 16610 case. rehauts can also be ground down a bit use a shorter profile gasket and really no one is going to notice without a side by side comp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erict719 Posted May 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 The bezel is longer sharper too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
