sly Posted April 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 Yup, maybe 2 months ago. This just shows that they are hit and miss. My 1680 from last year was fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sly Posted April 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 Did they ship it already? Check it out first, Maybe they have a different batch. Email them also and ask about the rehaut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sly Posted April 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 No need as it is really wokky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highoeyazmuhudee Posted April 22, 2011 Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 could always buy the JaW built one >$1K, part the extras out and keep the case for less. with that strategy it would only a few hundred more than yukis. its a lot of money upfront is all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sly Posted April 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 I emailed phong today regarding the case only (No case back, bezel & retainer ring). Price is same as a yuki case with everything on it. I just hope I can transfer the case back to phong's case (if it will fit). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jsuperman17 Posted April 22, 2011 Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 I don't know sly.. That seems like a pricey risk no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sly Posted April 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 or just like high said buy the J&W then swap the guts. Sell the yuki case with J&W parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star69 Posted April 22, 2011 Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 or just like high said buy the J&W then swap the guts. Sell the yuki case with J&W parts. how much you would expect for the yuki case after this thread ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sly Posted April 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 Not much, Don't. care about the loss anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lhooq Posted April 22, 2011 Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 Other than that one (very big) issue with the rehaut, the Snowflake is looking very good. I admire your commitment to Git-R-Done, sly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sly Posted April 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 Thanks M, Off topic. 1016 is done and i will post on a different thread after i fit the endlinks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sly Posted April 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 Phong's mid case is on the way, Yuki mid case is going back for a refund. More money but I guess I'll be happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jsuperman17 Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 I did the same sly... But I'm using a mbw 5513 case... I hope jmb can do my caseback what crystal and insert r u using? Movement? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sly Posted April 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 I also have an MBW 5513 case which has a gen 5513 dial and I'd hate to hack it up. I was thinking of using the MBW case with the yuki 9411 caseback but yuki 9411 caseback will not work on the 5513 (2 different cases even on Gen. I think). I will use the yuki caseback on phong's mid case as they are same spec. per gen. Phong gave me the measurements of his caseback and matched perfectly with yuki's. Crystal is 125 Insert is CWP with ofrei pearl. Movement is Gen. Tudor 2784 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jsuperman17 Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 Very nice sir! I'm doing a no date 9411 so I'm going down the clark t19 and a eta 2836.. I looked up the specs and some had high beat movements and some had low beats... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woof* Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 What was then end result sly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sly Posted August 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 I wasn't. happy either with J&W's case so i returned it. it is still on the yuki case up to now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
