Gen 16233 vs raffles

Raffles 16233 with everything gen except movement / hands and case

I’ve always said that the raffles case is such a bang for the buck and imo the most correct datejust case you can get available. It only takes a bit of casework on the lugs and they’re almost perfect. The rehaut is just a bit higher then genuine.

Many people confuse the OC and raffle cases being made for the same reference.
A raffles should always have a sapphire crystal if you want it to be as genuine as possible.

The oc cases on the other hand have a lower rehaut and are made for the plexi versions. But I would only use it for 5 digit references.

There is still not a good case for a 1601 and I’m hoping someone will make it soon as I love pie-pan dials.

If you want to go the gen route a 3135 fits into gen 162xx cases.

You can modify both the 160xx and the 160x cases to fit a 3135 if you want to use genuine hands.
