docthor Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 ...to get it most accurate compared to a gen (except the movement)? Well...pretty clear is that the Rehaut has to be sanded! But what else needs to be done? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest zeleni kukuruz Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 Cg's need some heavy work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docthor Posted May 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 Cg's need some heavy work. So they should be more "pointy"? Or just getting thined? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sneed12 Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 No, the outside shape is fine and the length is fine. They need to be trimmed on the inside to show the crown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin300z Posted May 8, 2013 Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 (edited) Well if the indicies are black then you need a gen crystal or AR'd to make them stand out cause I couldn't tell from these pics. Edited May 8, 2013 by kevin300z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're not black, they're gunmetal grey. This was always wrong on this generation of noob Explorer II. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docthor Posted May 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 This seems to be pretty well done when it's only the CGs and the crystal that needs some love... I already ordered a TC 25-295-C which hopefully fit to the case just like it is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sneed12 Posted May 11, 2013 Report Share Posted May 11, 2013 This seems to be pretty well done when it's only the CGs and the crystal that needs some love... What's wrong with the crystal? It looks fine. The CGs need work and you need a new dial. I've dropped gen dials into these cases a few times (have another one in the parts box waiting for the right donor case, in fact).

docthor Posted May 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2013 Soo...had been to Domis spa with my 16570 He did... removed the rehaut engraving trimmed the CGs lightly overhauled the movment waterproofed up to 100m Funny thing at this point...I bought it as 21j from the seller and it came out that there is a Swiss Eta inside...but (there is always a but )...it's stamped 2836-2 but is running at 21600 bph. If one is looking with a loupe you can see that it is a 2800. A pretty old movement used in the 60s...running strong but slow Maybe I'm going to use this for my upcoming 1675 which will be powered by a DG3804b (if the movement is coming one day... ) just to make her more reliable . For now I put the 16570 an a nice white nato and going to wear it through the summer since the 16570 white dial is a pretty nice summer watch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
