Silix 3646 case Help

[Msuwendy]

Hi recently i just obtained the old solix 3646 model, but something just not right, i got the low bezel without any threaded part in it and the back case with threaded parts on the outside (ill attach some picture later) i kindda need help they are not attached to each other, i've search the net that it needs mid innner case do connect the bezel, midcase and case back together, Question is may i know who sell the mid inner case? and an associate of mine told me that i might need RIVER help, so kindda confused where to find him/her regarding this matter

 

i bought this case 2nd hand and have little knowlegde about the homage world

 

Thanks

 

Ps: the previous owner said that i need to mod the case which is a pain cause i know nothing about it untill i have it in my hands

This Silix was modernized by one of the members of the forum. The internal diameter of the body was increased in order to install the threaded ring. You need to make a ring for which you can install the СB and bezel.

What he said ^^^

 

There are different movements that will fit the midcase.  Different rings exist to hold the movements.  Fit your assembled movement+dial into the ring and slip that assembly into the midcase.  Then the bezel screws onto the front of the ring, and the caseback screws onto the back of the ring, creating a sandwich with the movement inside.

Thanks for the reply, yeap im aware of that also the bronze color movement holder, but the question is which one should i buy and where to obtain it? cause here i dont think i can obtain this kind of threaded movement holder with that kind of detail thread. 

 

seems to me that the threaded movement holder might the answer but the problem is the top bezel got no threaded parts to attach to it

anybody can help me with river email contact cause for some reason i cant login to HomageForum cause i havent receive the confirmation email no matter what, and yes ive tried to resent and used 3 different email still no comfirmation given

Hmm, to me this looks like a standard Silix case. The Silix is not gen spec with a "sandwich design" (ie threaded midcase ring) - the bezel is press fitted to the mid case and a 6497 fits without any extra rings. Have you tried just fitting your parts?

Crown looks custom though and could need some work (retapping hole, securing crown tube of right size etc) - a way around this is just to find a standard silix crown. Depends on how much mod work you wish to learn and do.

It's really Silix with a modified design. The inner part of the body was enlarged in diameter to use the ring. On the ring should be placed bezel and сb. The crown gen was also used from old pocket watches. The strap fasteners are also made solid.

Thanks for the info given, to be honest i have no idea whatsoever on how to assemble the watch, but as newbie as it can be i can see that it will not fit to the case and i know there is a missing parts in it

 

i wont be using the crown cause i have no idea how to mod the inner thread so it will fit to the case

Thats what i thought too, but the problem is even if i have the inner ring it still wont fit the CB and Bezel cause its not in the set, the CB got outer threaded and the Bezel need to be press or at least thats the info i was given
