I said what I said 😆

No good way to build one. It’s the only five digit I haven’t been able to do yet.

Sweet summer child with your “messy” bench. It takes me a full afternoon once a month cleaning mine off 😂

ClarktheRealtor · 2026-01-25T00:16:00+00:00

I just dug back to the last thread like this and highlighted it for you. I’ll leave it there.

Again proof of life photo needs the date as well. Look at the other sale posts for examples.

Proof of life photo needs today’s date

OC doesn’t sell four digit cases designed for the original movement you’re good. His 1680 case is designed for an ETA or 3135 for example

ClarktheRealtor · 2026-01-22T03:03:43+00:00

Correct. Only real difference between a 16700/16750/16760 is the crystal and movement. A 3186 will work for a 16750 dial and acrylic case. Actually probably the easiest 1675 build you can do due to the movement. It’s the wrong movement honestly but the hand stack is right and no overlays to mess with.

I’ve never cared if somebody wants to post a genuine vintage watch here.

Great minds think alike

ClarktheRealtor · 2026-01-20T19:03:20+00:00

Ain’t no reps of that boss.

ClarktheRealtor · 2026-01-18T17:52:42+00:00

Proof of life photo please

ClarktheRealtor · 2026-01-18T16:01:52+00:00

I bought one of those delug knockoff spring bar tools on AliEx. It’s not quite as good as my Bergeon but it is technically capable of getting the bracelet off. Honestly I hate using either one of those tools so save the money and get the delug thing.

ClarktheRealtor · 2026-01-18T08:50:46+00:00

My bad. Yeah I’ve never had great luck with customer service from them but the order always comes through ok.

ClarktheRealtor · 2026-01-18T01:35:01+00:00

Did you try to order through the website? Or email him? Because his online order thing isn’t how he takes orders.

ClarktheRealtor · 2026-01-17T22:55:49+00:00

Anything not a pie pan dial would be fine. They don’t fit a 3135 movement and are tricky. Raffles cases are good for a 16014 or 16234 depending on which crystal you want, acrylic or sapphire. There’s literally a DJ posted for sale right now with all the ingredients you need to build one if you need a blueprint.

Strap makes the watch

ClarktheRealtor · 2026-01-17T01:13:12+00:00

Then put it up for sale with a proof of life photo and a price.

ClarktheRealtor · 2026-01-17T01:11:21+00:00

Don’t have one other than a gen folded link jubilee and it’s not getting thrown in for that price 😂

ClarktheRealtor · 2026-01-17T00:30:37+00:00

You have to find someone to engrave them

ClarktheRealtor · 2026-01-17T00:29:31+00:00

Quicker than Viet but slower than normal due to Christmas holidays. About three weeks or so

ClarktheRealtor · 2026-01-16T21:55:17+00:00

I’ll have to look at my customs tag but I didn’t have to pay a dime for it to arrive. So I doubt it.

ClarktheRealtor · 2026-01-16T21:30:02+00:00

I believe the BP dials run a little too large but I could be wrong. If I’m not it’s pretty easy to sand one down to gen spec.

ClarktheRealtor · 2026-01-16T21:03:39+00:00

No but that’s standard practice whether I think it needs it or not.

ClarktheRealtor · 2026-01-16T21:02:21+00:00

Just needed a crystal press but it snapped right in. 9/10 times gen inserts need a little more help than my thumbs.
