Best case for PAM00002 t-swiss-t build

[dutchguy2]

I have the dial and hands you can see here when they where previously installed in a PAM00002

I want to rebuild this watch. My question is what the base case set will be to use? I know DSN has them but he is hard to pay not using Paypal. Are there any other options? Maybe a 111J case!

Here is a gen.

Jimmy Fu if you can get it. If not, the closest shape-wise is the new 005k/318l, but that case has its critics due to the bezel construction being far from gen. 111j is built like gen but has more of a Pre-V shape, so it needs a lot of modding to the lugs, midcase to be Pre-A or A/B/C.

111J case + Goin CG are the best combo for Pre-A, Pre-V project, the combo are easy to get and not high cost, they almost replaced other sources.

Depends on what you're building, op6500 is really difficult, the only case suitable is the very old case circa 2005 which is impossible to get' it came on 111f with a weird thin top cg. The only alternative is to reshape a case like 111j. Op6502 is Jimmy Fu or if you're not bothered by crap bezel and super soft steel then 005 or 318 from h factory.

In case you're using newer cases youll need to replace the hex tube with a custom one and you may have to countersink crown area depending on the crown you'll be using

PS You need to use a contemporary CG for PreA builds, goin CG is incorrect.

Thank you guys.

After doing some research I think I'm going to try to build a 002BT. That is a early series 002 with the rare T dial. I've seen these with OP6502 and OP6520.

Not going to be Pre-V nor Pre-A what is the best (to get, affordable and source-able) case set?
