One final work of art from the master. Franken fiddy via The Zigmeister is perfection

Just received my Franken Fiddy from The Zigmeister. It was more or less done and all gen but the crown and mid case but it always bothered me that my top loader mid case would not accept the oem red case gasket (the gasket that mounts the bezel to the case)

I have gone through three mid cases with my Franken fiddy. Two Els, neither of which was the highly sought after Version 1 and then the newest noob. Shape wise they were all spot on but I preferred the factory finish of the newest noob. None would accept the oem gasket and none would pass a water proofing pressure test.

I asked The Zigmeister to go old school on my case and turn it on a lathe so it would accept the oem gasket

The results were flawless. He also sent back the Baggie of the metal filings that were removed from the inner case. Very cool. He sent back the crappy standard rep case gasket as well. No wonder none of the Fiddy reps were waterproof, looks like a plastic ring from a milk jug. Very flimsy.

I want to thank him for his attention to perfection and his ability to make this happen

He also corrected the lever pin that continually kept popping up on my oem crown guard.

So, barring me stumbling into an oem crown or Warren's caseback, Franken fiddy is now officially done and if I were insane I could take it diving.

Thanks to Rex for putting here together and thank you to the master for perfecting it.

Amazing craftsmanship.
