New 111J cases

[Drulee]

I'd love to hear what the experts feel about these cases, now that a member has actually received one and provided some close-up pics. Hopefully they don't have a 'proprietary' caseback threading

Also, did all the manual case sets come with hex crown tubes? Or just after a particular series? referring to case, not CG

released in 2005 = H-serie = first change = only Crown-bridge type ( some models already got the new crown-guard in 2004 )

released in 2007 = J-serie = second change = crown-guard-new lever with rollerwheel, new hexagon case-tube, new crown type,

automatic pams got also the strap-quick-release spindle ( handwind pams kept the long standard lug-horn screws )

Thanks rolli. So these new cases would only be right for J series onward, unless the crown tube is switched out. Good to know.
