They sell complete builds and also parts. they offer a variety of models . I use their 1016 P case set
That was my thought as well. 27mm would fit in a 34mm case but you need at least 28mm for a 36mm watch Ruby dials are 28mm for their explorers
How do the Tiger cases compare to JMB cases. Are there any other options that are close to Gen spec?

Beautiful dials my friend , however you are comparing a Ferrari to a Ford . Of course there are going to be differences in quality. especially at that price point.
For those just getting into the hobby or trying their hand at watch making. or to build a watch on a budget Raffles is the best bang for the buck , without question I would say they are now equal to or even better than Yuki dials at a 3rd of the price. It is a shame that they use gilt print and not true gilt. but for the price its understandable. compromise .
I built a budget 6350 for a member next door using the raffles dial and a Tiger Concept case set and a raffles brevet + crown . The TC case set has the thicker bezel and bubbled case back like a gen 6350 the rehaut to chapter ring have closer proportions . I also used a longer merc hours hand and lollipop seconds hand . These features are lacking from you example.
There is always compromise unless price is no object.
Where could one find one of these Tiger concept cases?

Thanks for all the information
I have found that shipping seems to be the best method for my area.
I definitely would love to have someone local though so that I would be able to learn a bit more by lurking around their workspace.
Best,
Leon

M, you can upload pics to the forum relatively painlessly. Also check with whoever you have your internet service through as often your account will have some web space included.
I just got in some more "raw" cases and will start machining tomorrow. This may be my last batch as I really would like to retire, but I've said that before...
Count me in for one of those cases
