Yeah but aren't there pretty good cases that can be modified into a pretty good 5513? I thought MBW cases and even the new cartels were pretty good except for the crown guards and some other finishing details. 1675 cases are all way to thick and that's something that's not easily fixed.
$1000 for the scan is totally doable. Spread out over only 100 cases that's only $10 per case. Nothing. Let's get a good quote on a CNC job for 100 cases and get this show on the road. My vote is 1675 PCG. You'd sell 100 in a blink because no one makes a decent one and it's a crazy popular watch.
It is amazing how an AR'd Xtal can change a rep. For most it's all you need to do. It is especially true for the SMPs. I remember when I did mine, totally different watch
Hahahaha I always thought the sun was humungous. I didn't know it could fit between the retaining ring and the bezel insert of a 1675. Man was Copernicus way off.
