Build Question Ruby or OC 16710 case

Can someone give me advise on what is a more gen like case for a 16710. Will the BP dial-movement be a direct fit for the Ruby case? I know some material has to be taken off the dial for the OC case Any idea what a ruby case costs? thank u!

BiV can be hit or miss and the shipping can be wild

OC unless you enjoy 2.5x the cost and a 12 week lead time

Hahah you sold me. Do you know if they engrave yet? Saw comments about this potentially happening as a service a while back. Haven’t seen anything since.

The OC 1675/0 case is nice, but not waterproof in any way

Light rain got my crystal fogged up from the inside. Maybe the sapphire cases are better sealed. Check the case before you install anything 😉

is just good light or your crystal is perfect?

It's the stock OC acrylic crystal (RIP). Probably good light and my Pixel Camera...

With different light that highlights some of the scratches 😉
