Falco Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 very nice did you just glue the datewheel on or did you have to thin it or raise the movement ring under dial a bit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetsons Posted May 12, 2007 Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 Does anybody know if a gen 16610 crown fits a MBW modern 16610 tube? It never that easy. . The 16610 rep tube looks like a toy compared to the OEM so you will need to install the correct tube, OEM or generic. The mod is well worth the effort not only in looks but improvement in functionality. Part #s: Triplock Crown (7mm) - P/N 24-703 Triplock Tube (7mm) - P/N 24-7030 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
