vlydog Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 For those who have owned or worked with Yuki cases, is lug hole drilling necessary? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HauteHippie Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 Good question, and I'm interested in the answer. I should really hope the answer is "no". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aeromatic Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 No! Leave the yuki case as is! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorilladame Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 Case fits gen springbars, IMO you should just shape the insert to make it fit with a small gap and maybe polish the edges of the Case to make it look older, but out of the Box it is still perfect. ( to perfect in shape for a 30 Year old Watch ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

( to perfect in shape for a 30 Year old Watch ) I like to polish the yuki case using "Autosol metal polish to take away that factory fresh look, i use a slightly "course" cloth which gives a less reflective shine but still keeping the high quality look! for other cases i use a 3m scourer pad or wirewool and then polish it back up to the required effect. because my 6538 franken is my attempt in replicating the Sean Connery (goldfinger look)i did not want to make the watch look 50 years old but to be in the condition that was seen in goldfinger, made in 1964 so say his watch would then be 5 year old approx.

vlydog Posted March 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 I guess the consensus is no drilling necessary? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flex Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 no drilling is required. But still need to trim the CG.. thats my 2 cents. Flex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorilladame Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 Actually the CG look really good to me, just compared them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
