woof* Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 Stated to be 1:1 with a superlume dial...we can get rid of the tiny etched crown in the crystal forever if it's true Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
its_urabus Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 the new sdsd will have the etched crown, and need a cg trim, at a minimum! I have little faith in a true 1:1 anything.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JEKS Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 OK, so I've never understood the crown guard trim thing. My understanding of forging is that it take more, not less, effort to draw items like that out further. If is isn't forged but machined, a tiny bit more cutting, if cast, a bit less material. So, why oh why isn't this just corrected and a problem nevermore? The rep makers are doing such a great job on details that I find myself scratching my head on the crown guard issue.

its_urabus Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 the factories could make them correct, they choose not to. and as far as I know the cases are stamped and machined. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

signumboy Posted July 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 if the superlume is anything like the p/ocean, then it's not super. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watcher Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 The worst thing that needs to be fixed from the SSD is the lack of rehaut compared to the gen. It is quite pronounced on an SD16600 and was not there on the last rep so dial also appeared bigger that it was. Superlume for me is not important if the other major problem is not better!

highoeyazmuhudee Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 watch them put some rehaut engraving on it ; ) as for CGs it probably comes down to precision tooling to cut it correctly and possibly a two step process to refine it, which wold cost them more $$ to take that little bit more off. thats the easiest explanation as to why theyre so large, its just easier and cheaper to cut them roughly to shape Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
