Old WM9 as base for a new 16610 build

[Tribal]

Hello Gang,

I decided to build up a 16610 Sub with different Parts that I collected.

As base I take an old WM9 Case that I had laying around for years.

So I reshaped, satin and polished the Case like new.

Installed a gen Tube and Crown.

The bezel got a gen Insert.

I installed a gen Crystal but it had some small spots on the bevel, so reinstalled again.

Movement is a nice VR 3135 with gen

Datewheel.

The bracelet is a completely new 93250.

The Dial and Hands comes from a JF.

Here is the result.

 

Next step will be a TC KH Dial and gen Hands.

 

Hope u like it.

You can't beat those old 16610 rep cases like the last run of the MBW(Ks), WM9, TWBest. That's a beautiful watch Tribal! 

This is a late MBW with the gen like bezel construction, a WM9 dial and hands, and a TC 93250

It also has the drilled lugholes which are hard to see in this photo

This watch has a swiss eta- they're getting harder to find these days. But alas I'm on to a 16610 with the SH3135- as soon as it comes back from NY.

Beautiful! Go the other Route and take a VR3135 movement, much better.In meanwhile I build a 16610LV and a 16800 too on a WM9 Base both with VR3135 installed.
