swdivad Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 Does anyone know where I can find a good quality Luminor case set? Everywhere I look are the stumpy lugs and dimples between them... I had a look at the GETAT website, looks good but they seem to have the dimple... Where is JacksonTse's website? Are there any sources around that has a good quality case? I'm looking to build something PreV or PreA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hackR Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 here's the jacksontse website: click here... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteM Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 For a preV case, consensus seems to be a Helenerou case with Jacksontse bezel. Theres a Helenerou in the sales section at moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swdivad Posted February 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 Thanks guys, good info!!... Where do I find details on helenrou? Where are these from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteM Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 As I said one being sold on sales section by Harwood Just google helenerou or check out links in tool bar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swdivad Posted February 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 ahh! Thanks, google works In the sales section, the seller mentions that the case is an old style case... I'm looking to build a PreV or PreA watch... Are the helenarou new style cases less desirable for a project like this? is this better than the new style case? Reason I ask is because he's wanting 150 for the set, and she sells hers for 40-50... How's her CG for PreV and PreA? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drulee Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 Old style case is what you want. New style are more run of the mill rep cases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanya Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 Jackson's do not have a dimple. avitt gives these he thumbs up for his pre V Projects They make for a perfect pre V case if you can drill screwhead side of the case for pre-V screwtubes and grind down the casetube a butthair 15 minutes of work with a good drill and a dremel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not huge ones, but there is a dimple there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swdivad Posted February 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 hmm... I'm now wondering about the viability of manufacturing our own PreA and PreV cases and CGs.... could be done I'm sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The crown guards have had a few attempts - some too thin, one a bit on the thick side, another .... you get the idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 hmm... I'm now wondering about the viability of manufacturing our own PreA and PreV cases and CGs.... could be done I'm sure Work is being done on a longer term project on the Pre-V cases. Still trying to get a prototype exactly right before pricing it out though so it will be a while before the project comes to fruition. On the Cg's and case backs there are enough sources around. But for now an older Helenarou or Eddie is your best bet on the cases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panera Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 How abouth thedvdsen pre.v case sets??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swdivad Posted February 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 How abouth thedvdsen pre.v case sets??? Thing I worry about Davidsen parts is the total lack of adxhering to standards... I don't know about now, but in the past, we had to use Davidsen lug screws... I mean, WTF is with that? CGs also didn't have standard mounting holes... again... wtf?? I ruined a beautiful one of a kind Metta Katerina strap because his case edge was too close to the lug holes... $350 strap screwed in 5 minutes :black_eye: Has anything changed with his cases recently? I would love to know this My experience is the more things change, the more they stay the same Say it ain't so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
