Best source for sterile "modern" Radiomir and 1950 cases?

[Neuuubeh]

Hello guys,

I would like to try my hands at putting a watch project (or rather, 2 of them ) together. I already have movements, have almost decided on hands (DSN's golden curved ones look so attractive..), however I am still unsure about the cases.

I would like a 47mm Radiomir and a 47mm 1950 case (fiddy? I never understood whether there is a difference.). They should be sterile with no engravings (CG can have the "tm"), stainless steel with display backs. Crystals can be mineral (will probably try to swap for a sapphire later on). Not too domed...

However, where can I get such cases? Who offers them at decent quality? This far I am only aware of Jacksontse, Getat and Helenarou.. Are there any differences in quality between the 3? Which one would you recommend? Pricing is the same at ~$40-45. Are there any other options (hopefully below ~$120-150)? Am I even asking in the right place?

Thanks a lot for your opinions!

Regards,

Niko

I'm sure some of the homage fans will be along shortly to answer this, but my limited knowledge thinks that JacksonTse is marginally cheaper to buy from.

As for accuracy, I'm afraid I have no idea, sorry! lol

Not much different between the 3.. Getat seems more polished in there operation, but all case would be about the same quality.

Getat;s radiomir case is excellent, but I'd go to Jackson Tse for the Fiddy case - getats version has a 217 CG, which is the wrong way round for a Fiddy.
