bobandshawn 5 Posted February 4, 2019 Hi Guys, I think I'm finally going to attempt a long-term project since I've pretty much done all the 5513s/6538s/1680s etc. that I could ever want. The reason this will be long-term is because of the gold parts. My goal is a reasonable 16613. So here is where I need the advice - Which is the best 5-digit base for ETA to start out with? I plan on having it on leather so a bracelet is not an issue. Plans include an *ST gold bezel, Gen gold crown, and Gen insert with Gen ETA and Raffles DWO. So, I guess it really comes down to good ETA hands and dial choice?! Perfection is not the goal, but I am averse to stubby crown guards. Thanks in advance. Any and all advice is appreciated! ~B P.S. - please don't tell me to do my research. I know there are dozens of topics and hundreds of posts on this. Just looking for something concise and up to date. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paccbet 7,176 Posted February 4, 2019 Have you looked at the BP 2824 case? The crown guards seem decent to me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
