full-fat 372 (ish) homage

[mellons]

Here is the latest attempt at a 372- this time from a jackson 47mm case (thanks southy). As you can see not 100% homage as i have left crease slightly above mid-height and lugs are a bit fatter than 372 (i prefer this look). This build borrows from previous experiment at a "slim" 6152/1 case set:

Images below are of current fantasy build in progress (am giving my fingers a break!):- dsn slim solid caseback, reshaped jackson 47mm case and an athaya single-piece low-profile bezel. Plexi is a necky solid (temporary mock-up) reduced down to 5mm overall (may go lower). Hope to combine with a 4 liner (with secs) (or a dow cali dial- tbd) to create a "vintage" 372 daily beater. Awaiting lever mod form athaya, slim lower solid plexi from necky....

further down are comparison shots with prevously built mini-fiddy 372 cali build. Apologies in advance for grainy photos....

comparitive shots with mini-fiddy 372 cali (mf lhs, fiddy rhs). difference in height considerable, but mini-fiddy is very comfortable on.

I like it!! May I ask you what size crystal/plexi goes in the mini fiddy? Do you think a 212i crystal would fit in the case? I am in the process of making my own homage.....

for this bezel a 40.8mm so if yo are using crystal it will be this less gasket (not sure dims of your crystal)

stock jackson bezel is 2mm deep- this slim one is 1.5mm deep
