Gen rotor?

if you're stuck this one is a sterile 20mm rivet and takes 2mm spring bars....got it today for my helenarou big-crown hommage build. now all i need are gen spring bars.... http://www.ebay.co.u...7#ht_500wt_1010

Both sites back up

6497 straight fit with tabs Others with movement ring

slowly taking shape....

here is the link: the stock shape is really quite good: mm235 bezel is not great but caseback is fine. Jackson sells case only also http://www.jacksontse.com/mm235.html

i think it was do-daddy ...

anyone been on to wristcheck & homageforum? both sites down it seems....

Here is the "new" jackson no cg 47mm case- Some info on reshapes has been posted before but for some reason I think this case is not coming up on modders radars: it is a really nice shape with plenty of meat around lug area (better stock shape than silix 6154) Currently there are no casebacks (aftermarket) available but shape of stock one is very nice- this has been posted about before by southy Here are two versions of reshape- one is a milder reshape with solder fill to eliminate the pronounced dip in case around crown, the other is more aggressive. The more aggressive one takes the case down on both sides to remove the dip. I don't have an older DSN no cg cast to compare to but certainly from images the jackson is on a par- see what you guys think! It would be interesting to see if anyone has done a vintage build with this case set yet. BTW the stock sterile display caseback is actually quite nice also. Reshaped cases are in progress and have not been polished: this matt finish is better to view shapes also. First is line-up with mild reshape LHS, stock unmodded centre, and aggressive reshaped one RHS here is stock case here is lightly modded one with solder fill around crown here is more agressively reshaped case with sides taken down to remove crown dip some shots of crown area- stock agressively reshaped

mock-up with southy 4 liner and river hands lightly aged (excuse iphone pics) new eta ticking nicely and keeping great time!

here it is with caseback on beside a reshaped athaya 6154 case set- the 6154 doesn't look soo thick after all! final shot is beside another vintage fiddy but with a solid caseback....

iir dial is 29mm. build quality very good:case just out so not many builds going around yet. have a sterile rivet strap incoming will see what it looks like!

Fiddy Reloaded! This one started some time ago (twice)- I sold on a case set I had assembled over some time a while back and almost instantly regretted it; then spent the past few months trying to assemble the same parts again! The case set had all THE old school goodness- necky modded case (reshaped), solid plexi, oakabum cg and tube etc. After I got the oakabum engraved CG this time round I decided to go a bit more decorative on this one- engraved display back etc. The ingredients for this one are as follows: reshaped old jackson case drilled to accept crown tube and compression-fit lug bars Necky engraved lugs Necky cg mod (with larger screws) Oakabum brev-ital cg Oakabum spring-loaded crown and brass tube Necky solid plexi Nightwatch brass movement ring Nightwatch OPB Engraved caseback with dome plexi Southy 4 liner with secs River aged hands swiss undecorated 6497 with high cp Shown is a progress shot of case with cg- Necky's engraving work is so nice and today being sunny (does not happen often) I thought I might be able to capture the subtle lug engravings with my point-and-shoot. The necky cg screw mod is just awesome: this should be a rule of any fiddy build to send off and get case tapped for proper cg screws!

Sorry double post! All parts excep eta movement are helenarou: it is his new case set. Dial was biggest surprise- is superb. This was a build by Andy schuren on homageforum using this new case set. Andy tested it to 60 ATM no problems- designed to go 100m
