Per this thread, 3D scanning won't work for this. An expert in the field told us they are not accurate enough.

Noob case, JF/j12 v2 dial.

Lot's of places offer CMM. Let's just pay someone to CMM a case, clean up the file, and then CNC copies for us.

Something is rubbing for sure.

Great info. Could you CMM the case?

Lol, loved that. Made me laugh.

Please place your order sir so the rest of us can get the updated one. It's called taking one for the team.

Yes, absolutely every time you post it I will hit LIKE.

So when the watch stops is it because it needs winding? You can usually tell by the feel when you start winding. That and it starts again once you wind it. If that's the case and the watch has been serviced, I'd guess a bad bearing on the winding weight. Try sourcing a new one (should be cheap) and just swapping that out. I had an IWC 3717 that acted similar and swapped out the winding weight for a gen and the watch stays wound fully as long as I wear it. Made a huge difference

Are you active when you wear it? I work at a computer all day and typing does not wind my watch.

@dbane883 - NOT a Seiko beater he picked up last week.

I was in HI recently with a buddy of mine and a couple girls. After a couple days together his girl looks at me and says, "Damn your watch game is on point." I loved that compliment because it wasn't about a particular watch but about my watch collection and how I chose to wear them.

Cool story. I love the whispers. I also love when people keep staring at your wrist obsessively trying to get a good look.

This reminds me of how people bondo up the side panels of rusted cars to make them look good. The price people pay for "original" vintage watches is ridiculous. I just want the damn thing to look great. I could care less how it got there. I mean I want the watch to be original as in it doesn't have fake parts but if I can pay a lot less for a case that's looks perfect but was refurbished, that's great. I mean it's gonna go on my wrist and I'm going to add my own marks anyway. And here's one that's interesting. If a case has been polished, you can typically tell mostly because it's too perfect. Put take a case that's been polished (professionally with the right chamfers etc.) and wear it for another ten years and then try and detect of it was polished at one time or not. This "untouched" "all original" thing is stupid. It's one big guessing game just completely overrun with fraud.

Good Luck Bart

Noooooo

When you are headed out to chase skirt, a great watch really makes you feel good.
