Great watches!

 

If you're having trouble with the 702 tube, try tapping the hole in the case with the 3.0mm x .35 tap. I've found that running the tap in as far as you can helps. 

Since the 702 has no internal splines, you basically have to use a friction fit type of approach to install it. Maybe a broach or a rat tail file could be used to screw it in.

Blue loc-tite on the threads also helps lock it and seal it in place.

I just long for an old-school MBW 5512-13-14 or 1680 case. If anyone has one for sale, PM me.

It's a HH (highoeyazmuhudee) prototype case

Looks great. I've got one of those myself.

Assuming that's a gen 5513 service dial?

it's a gen dial but not a service dial (at least not to best of my knowledge..)

Thanks for the tip although I must admit I'm reluctand to tapp a hole in the case, I might just end up using a 703 with high bevels instead.. it's just slightly thicker but I actually like it in combination with the cg's..
