ProMariner Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 Mate can I ask you what kind of rings have you used to retain the ETA movement on your phong case. Because I have the same case as yours and an ETA 2824, but not sure what movement retainer ring should I get? (The one from Yuki ? Or an HH or another one ?) Thanks Wil!

ww12345 Posted February 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 I have an old one I have lying around that I used. I am not sure where it's from, to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have a picture of it before you installed it ? Maybe I will be able to recognize if it is an HH or Yuki retainer ring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mendota Explorer Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 (edited) Gorgeous pics with the new T19. My gosh, it is stunning. I have to install this on my red 1680. That profile is so sexy. Edited February 13, 2015 by Mendota Explorer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you , this is my 5514 phong comex with gen t19 ! I will install a genuine service complete bezel assembly on it and it will look even better If you want to go with a t19 on your 1680 go for a gen service t19 it worth every cents and it is away superior quality of any aftermarket Crystal or gen old and used t19 that won't guarentee the same water resistance than a brand new gen t19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ephry73 Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 That ST assembly should fit the gen insert without any issues. It's a tight fit, but it is well worth it in the end. Don't shave the insert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't shave the insert I think I will go gen though it will save me from trouble .. I have tried a lot of aftermarket bezel assembly and figure that none of them were gen specs. I admit that I have never used an ST assembly but I have already lost some money with those cheap aftermarket bezels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiesn089 Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 I used: Phong midcase Startime bezel gen mk3 insert gen 702 crown and tube Startime/gen 93150 bracelet gen HEV Whoopy dial Clarks hands ETA 2879 Cool about the pics - I wondered if you had any more pics of gen cases with issue numbers showing... What are your thoughts on that Startime bezel? I'd hate to go hunt a gen bezel assembly for my resurrected Milsub build again... Should have read the whole thread before asking, sorry...

I have bought a compté gen bezel assembly for mine as I told you I will do if you remember I am having all the needed parts for the build except the ETA ring for the 15xx caliber cases. Could you please some more picture of your 5514 bro ? It inspires me a lot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
