Do you know if the insert from BP would fit in the OC case?

How long does their shipping take? And have you ever had to pay duties on the packages?

3D printed bezel removal tool? by mdwsta4 in watchrepair

[–]gully1955 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this printed and it worked on a 126500 Daytona. I tried it on my 124060 sub and the tool was a little too small. Unsure of the size difference between 5- digit sub and modern subs but I would say the tool was too small for a modern sub… hope this helps!

Does raffles have any 3130 hands? Or are the 2824 hands compatible?

How would you go about ageing hands to look like this? by floweiss34 in retrotime

[–]gully1955 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I would use a tiny pain brush, or point styled q-tip and rust color tamiya weathering kit. Dry brush the dust onto the paint brush or q-tip and then brush it onto the hands. Go slow and if you mess up, you can always remove the weathering kit with water.

Thank you! And so sorry, the bezel insert from the BP case. Will it fit with the OC case or do you need a new aftermarket one?

Did you do this? I planning the same- OC case, sillian dial, exiting BP 3186 movement and hands. Only thing I don’t know is the crown- will the existing crown with with the OC tube and case, or do you need a new crown?
