First step completed. :Sleepy:

The case set is completed, I got the first package of parts for the test, everything fits, many parts on the way to have stock in advance.

 

This case has 2 casebacks -flat machined middle for the 16750, rounded and polished for the older 1675.

Remember : the gen 1675 and 16750 uses the same slim case, just different movements.

 

This package is 100% accurate, Rolex specs, the assembly is 100% like the gen stuff : the plexi is hold by a retaining ring which retains the washer ring and the bezel ring. The insert clips in. No spring, no glue. Just the same as the real thing.

 

Possible to mix gen and aftermarket parts. The case accept 2836, 2824, 2893 (true gmt) and Asian gmt movements.

 

The case need just a slight crown guards mod, or re-cut for pointy crownguards. Also re-drill the lug holes. Easy and fast job.

 

Second step : the dial.

 

I will build 2 watches as I have 2 dials right now, but for orders it will take a little more time as GMT Master dials production is in progress now
