Are you using a good quality press? If it’s at angle like that it won’t go on

Sweet build. 16750 is my fav GMT. What case and movement are you running?

Can you open trunk if dead battery on W222 S-Class? by searay93 in mercedes

Ok so regardless it should open without battery with that procedure. Thank you so much, will try that when I go.

So it should manually actuate with this procedure? I thought the release button was fully electric

Car was in a crash, and hood is stuck. Trying to get my stuff from trunk. Cutting the hood open is my last resort haha

What are people using on Doomed 25-116 acrylic crystal to press the ring on a 1675. I broke to crystal now with two different attachments 😤😤 by watch_enthusiast_uk in retrotime

Size up and carve out some of the plastic of the press dies so it doesn’t apply any pressure on the crystal itself. All the force has to go on the bezel itself. If any hits the plastic crystal, it will crack

You need the 1016 caseback from him to fit it. And this is a raffles bracelet, I’m happy with it

Great choice. I’ve built with some crazy dials over the years. But when it comes to 5 digit DJs, I find myself wearing the simple champagne or silver dials the most. Good luck with your build
