DC109 Posted May 27, 2020 Report Share Posted May 27, 2020 Hello experts, I picked up a "gen" 16613 case years ago and it has been sitting in the parts drawer. I decided to start a build, but found that the first several dials I dropped in are too big. They include: a 2017 JF 16610 (back when some of them had slightly large dials/movements), a 2016 Noob V6 116610LV, and a TC KH dial. Maybe this is because the gen case has tighter tolerances, but it has me worried the case is a very good looking but badly performing rep. Here are some photos--I'm hoping others can weigh in!

oldtools Posted May 27, 2020 Report Share Posted May 27, 2020 Do you have some calipers to measure the dial diameter? Maybe cut something to the exact dial seat diameter and measure that too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe cut something to the exact dial seat diameter and measure that too. Both great ideas--I don't have calipers. The dials I tried are only too big by a fraction of a millimeter, so too small and precise a measurement for me to get with a ruler. I know a genuine dial should be 27.4mm, so I'm hoping all the reps I have tried are just too close to 28 to fit the precise cutout for a gen case... but maybe I've just got to get some calipers.
