I thought the 6200 had the big crown?

The A296 is cousin to A260 ... the A296 is a bit thicker, I think was used in the thicker sub cases. It will be a much harder movement to locate. The A260 was much widely used.

Hearing you plan to make other references too is also very exciting.
You already have it for sure use but I though this quick reference could be useful

Seriously, this is getting me really excited!!! I’m already looking at donar watches. Don’t worry, it won’t be a total massacre. I’ll do my best to return the bubbleback to a respectable state. [emoji57]

Oh but I won't go down into that rabbit hole, my build will be ETA or asian ETA based, I don't want to go broke :)

Interesting... I'm assuming it will have water resistance?

All you guys attention makes me more excited to do it. [emoji16][emoji16][emoji16]

Will do my best to make this case kit.

Yes sulky it will have good WR at least according to 6204 specs which is 50m [emoji51], but will try at least it can reach 100m.

I will include eta adapter for this kit so will be ready for eta build too.
