Drulee Posted July 5, 2009 Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 I tried to get some measurement over on RG before it went down, but only one member stepped up. Let's see how capable RWG members are at using calipers Please measure your 44mm cases (with case back and crystal installed) and post the result here, along with case type (manual/auto), material (ti/SS) and source (DSN/PWC/T4D/Cartel/Sead...). Here is an example: 13.9mm Manual Titanium from Jackson Tse Anyone with a genuine PAM, PLEASE post your measurements, as well. Thanks for your participation.

Drulee Posted July 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 Just to clarify, I would like your measurement of the case, not the measurement that the original dealer provides. Please post your specs. EDIT: I will put measurements from members who contributed to my other thread on RWI, and keep the table below updated as measurements come in.

ubiquitous Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 From crystal to caseback, my Jimmy Fzu case/crystal and DSN caseback measures 13.4mm-ish. Old school DSN PVD case- 13.2mm... I've also got an unknown case that I'm using for Pre-V that measures 14.1mm, crystal to caseback. Jimmy on left, my 'Pre-V' case on the right...

That old school DSN is mighty slim. The JF case's crystal seems to be "riding high", did you measure to the top of the bezel or crystal? If it was to the top of the cystal, that case is ultra-slim Just measured my EL 111 case an crystal, and it's 14.6 - the crystal rises about 1.2mm off the top of the bezel.

ubiquitous Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 Just remeasured- JF from crystal to caseback is 14mm... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MP5 Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 Any gen in particular? Manual or automatic? Thanks for taking the time to measure them guys Zero- manual. Crystal rides .6mm above bezel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MP5 Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 For me, I go through alot of trouble to find great crystals. For some reason people dont talk much about it but I feel that is a major difference with the gens being so clear and non diffractive at angles. The height is also a major issue for me. I have seen the dealers changing crystals from time to time and scoop up the ones that are good at angles and height above the bezel. All this AR aside, the new DSN ones are pretty good but I usually take the AR off as it isnt that noticeable on gens and I usually like Prev/A builds.

LandM42006 Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 I guess autos are thicker than manual. My DSN 240 and 104 are both 17mm. It is the caseback that eats about 3mm of height. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drulee Posted July 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 Alright, now that I've gotten over my 240 mishap, let's get some more measurements coming in - especially genuine PAMs. Don't make me beg - I'm sure it wouldn't be a pretty sight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drulee Posted July 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 Added three more DSN case measurements, posted on another forum. Also identify the THICKEST and thinnest cases at the bottom of the table. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
