txcollector Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 DSN's caseback is nice but far from perfect. I've seen an El for sale on another forum that looked good. Are there good solid casebacks available for 005's around? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

txcollector Posted June 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 not in his list yet. It would be perfect if he did but not holding my breath. I was wondering if there was an old El caseback for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w0lf Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 There were 2 EL 005 casebacks. the 1st one was the infamous 0348 serial for 201/a that he mistakenly put on 005's then there was one that he replaced it with for people that complained. I think it was a G serial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txcollector Posted June 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 I've seen the G serial one. I wonder if I can get that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeteM Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 Just sold one.... it was OP 6617 G0016/1000 It was a spare from a couple I got for my 000 which was closest I could find. You must of seen it as you were one of the first to PM me on some of the parts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babola Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 Are there good solid casebacks available for 005's around? thanks Unfortunately there never was a close to 1:1 000/005 caseback made by either rep factories or DSN. After the incorrect EddieLee 005 caseback which was basically a 201/A Logo caseback, the very first one that appeared on the market in the late '05 on 000 and 005 models was a G0616/1000. Very nice but incorrect shape as it comes with highly raised flat area in the middle. This raised part is also smaller in diameter than manual Pam casebacks, very much like the casebacks found on auto Pams. DSN one appears to be made of a recycled tomato can sheet, it's so thin and low it ain't funny. I'd skip it as an option if I were you. I believe your best bet is a G0616/1000 caseback especially if the dial belongs to G-series and says L-Swiss-L, otherwise the newer cartel Hxxxx/1000 caseback. cheers, b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeadToucha Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 The El caseback for 005 you are talking about, anybody has a pic to show ? I'm curious to see one coze i got a 005 caseback & i could see the differences Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babola Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 The El caseback for 005 you are talking about, anybody has a pic to show ? I'm curious to see one coze i got a 005 caseback & i could see the differences You can see both old (G-series) and new (H-series) Logo casebacks here: G-series G0616/1000 caseback H-series H0016/1000 caseback The newer one (H-series) is slightly more closer to a gen, dimensions and finish wise. However, if you're going to split hairs the H-series logo caseback matches L-Swiss Made-L dial, not the L-Swiss-L. I have not seen yet rep 000/005 Logo dial in L-Swiss Made-L...maybe DSN has one on offer in its latest incarnation? cheers, b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeadToucha Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 Thanks b, If i understand well, the H-series is more curved/raised like the gen ? The one i have is a G-serie but without the black paint on the inscriptions. Anyway i hope i can introduce my 005 here soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway i hope i can introduce my 005 here soon Yes mate, H-series one is slightly closer to the gen in shape at the sloping part of the caseback at the edge. The absence of black paint like on yours is correct, these were never meant to be filled with paint as gens anyway...easy to remove though. Would love to see your photos, HT! b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeadToucha Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 Thanks mate, I'm just waiting for my sapphire to come back home, and putting all the parts together ^^ Just a preview of my caseback Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w0lf Posted June 17, 2010 Report Share Posted June 17, 2010 This is the one I was talking about - photo courtesy of Crockey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babola Posted June 17, 2010 Report Share Posted June 17, 2010 This is the one I was talking about - photo courtesy of Crockey Yup, that's the one...if you compare the sloping at the edge to the one on your avatar for example, you'll notice how much wider it is on the rep 005 case back. This makes the engraving around the edge a little more 'compressed' towards the middle, hard to notice if you don't have it side by side with another case back for comparison. That said, the one you posted a pic of isn't too bad, the slope on mine was much more pronounced. cheers, b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
