I'm told the old Silix case that freddy333 and I used has been changed, but they still have the no crown guard Subs. http://www.silix-pri...sort=20a&page=3

Rafflestime has no crown guard cases. I haven't seen one in person, but they look like the ones from Hong Kong called 'Tiger'. Ken refers to 'Tiger' in some of his write ups. http://www.rafflesti...007-Bond/Detail

I bought a case from this Ebay seller from Hong Kong called a 'Tiger' and the one I think is the same as Rafflestime. It does need some shaping and thinning, but I think it will make a very good 6542.

This is still in rough stage, but the case is just about finished. The bezel needs to be beveled top and bottom. They are not engraved with any numbers at all.
