e30m3 Posted September 29, 2017 Report Share Posted September 29, 2017 Long story short, a buddy gave me a fake 16600 Sub back in 2004 - I just found it in the closet and was thinking of using it for Dremel practice. But before I do, I thought to have you guys take a look. Make sure I'm not about to Dremel up a potentially nice case! Second question, for the experts - is it worth considering using this case to build a 5512/13 rep (be gentle; n00b here)? TIA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marqtz Posted September 30, 2017 Report Share Posted September 30, 2017 Is the SN start with 32xxxx? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted September 30, 2017 Report Share Posted September 30, 2017 You have a sapphire crystal (or more likely a mineral crystal) so it would be tough to fit a plastic crystal in there and make it work so that you could build a 5513. Since it's a circa 2004 case, it's really not worth much. There are much better cases out there these days. You could put a Chinese movement in there with a sub dial and hands and have a cheap beater- that's about all I could see to do with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highoeyazmuhudee Posted October 1, 2017 Report Share Posted October 1, 2017 that case is probably only worth using for mod practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
