JohnG Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 Just got this case set from Jackson Tse for a mini-Fiddy sterile stealth dial project, I am not a Pam guy, need opinions on the case. At $35 I am very happy, looks pretty good to me, but just curious what problems it might have. Since it will be a homage, I am not worried about small details that might be off, but still like to know regardless. Sorry for the shots, best I could get with a crappy old 2mp camera... (white balance whacked out on the last few, but doesn't matter for purpose of viewing case): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey Padge Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 Looks good, mineral crystal I assume? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drulee Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 Did you do anything to the CG, or did it come like that? Looks good, mineral crystal I assume? Yup, he doesn't offer sapphire for the domed crystals. I have to say I am just appreciating Jackson more and more. I bought my first replica/homage from him, that got me into PAMs, that brought me to this board, and RG, and I still love wearing my first JTSE titanium cased, 6497 swan neck, tobacco sandwich dial homage Also you can't beat his parts prices, I just finished posting about this on the other forum, but to sum things up here, he sells $30 6497 movements with faux swan neck and H3 canon pinion installed, shipping included. As you can see from above his case prices are great too. Anyway I don't want to sound like an ad for him, so I'll leave it there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnG Posted July 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 Yes, mineral crystal, if it were sapphire I would feel like I owe him a sex-favor or something... And yes, the CG came like that - I am going to look up a tutorial on how to flatten/polish pin, but I have definitely seen worse on $300 watches... I am glad to see that my initial positive impression wasn't wrong. And as is often said, it looks better in real life - my camera is pretty old, did the best I know how, but "pics don't do justice."

ubiquitous Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 Looks great! especially at $35! As for the CG pin- If you are doing a vintage style hommage, I believe you'll actually want a domed pin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeeJay Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 I don't know the details of that model case to really comment on it as such, but, as a watch case, it looks pretty damn good, and will contribute to what should be an awesome project Best of luck with it, bro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

visitor Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 That looks neat!! in the past, cartel mini fiddy case has problem with the CG not sitting on the case properly... i guess it's improved now... congrats! Jackson uses cartel cases? I know the different MM sellers have different cases (do not know why though!) Either way, case looks really nice man! I have 2 jackson homages, and just sold a 3rd, love em all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
