usmctowgnr 0 Posted January 31, 2011 So I am wanting to build a franken 1675 around a gen matte dial. I am at a loss at how I want to proceed with the case. I dont really want to do a 1655 1:1 due to improper engravings and caseback. I am afraid to go yuki becasue I don't know what movement to use. NDT and JAW are out of the question due to cost. However I found a gen caseset. It has original crystal, crown, tube and caseback. My dilema is the caseback shows some corrosion that I am concerned of. The seller does say that the caseback does have corrosion but the stuff on the case itself is dried glue. Can anyone give me some feedback on this case and if you think that it will be an issue with waterproofing. FYI this case can be had for more than yuki but less than NDT. It really pushes my budget as I would also have to purchase a bezel assembly and movement with hands. I do have a gen insert and 62510H jubilee bracelet. I am adding a pic of gen dial as well.

andygt 0 Posted January 31, 2011 the case looks corroded to fuck above the 1675 engraving to me. why not buy the 1655 case, sand off the engraving and have it re engraved? also what worries you about the yuki as it will take a gen movement same as the gen case Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KBH 7 Posted February 1, 2011 Only thing I can add is that's a tough choice. Dunno what I'd do but I do like the idea of a gen case. I wonder how much of the corrosion you could get off and it still be usable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
