superlative Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 How is this case? Are there any problems with the rehaut being too large? Yuki wants cash first, then a 25 day production time before I'd receive anything. That bothers me. I'd like to see the actual case I'm going to get before sending him my $600.

Nanuq Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 Don't do it. Get a Josh case and mill down an MBW crown to look like a 702, or mount a gen 702 in those stubby CGs. It's a great, and inexpensive, look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superlative Posted September 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 I have my Snowflake in a Josh/PC case. I hate those CGs. I also want the proper case back with all the engravings. Where can I find a MBW crown? A gen 702 crown?! $300 for a crown? That'd be more than I paid for the entire build! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanuq Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 To each his own. A lovely older Phong 7016 just sold here for silly money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superlative Posted September 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 How about DW's case? Those CGs could poke my eyes out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ephry73 Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 I shaved the CGs on a josh case and added a BK crown an tube and the combination is great. I reduced(very slightly) the overall size of the case but it works great. Unless you plan on building a Franken type thing and must have the stampings and case back it's too much money.

bones Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 Quick question on shaving down the crown height. Do you need to modify the tube as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woof* Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 How about DW's case? Those CGs could poke my eyes out! DW has non gen bezel construction (paperclip wire) and also 1680 is a larger dial than 5513/Tudors @ 26mm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
