Sure, but you can shape them.

The gilt underline I just sold. Cartel case.

What I understood was that the stubbyness was that they were too short? Therefore not possible to make right? Am i wrong?

Both lovely watches, none the less.

As well as shaping the crown guards. I generally lower the height of the saddle between them ever so slightly. Countersink and re-tap the hole, then add an Athaya crown and tube. Naturally, I try and avoid taking anything off the top of crown guards. Not perfect, but close enough for me without the outlay of a phong case.

- DBane putting sweet bevels on case

- Drilled out lug-holes to match gen
