jerkstore Posted June 26, 2013 Report Posted June 26, 2013 Can you help me ID this case? Who made it? After pouring over pics of 6538 cases, I have a suspicion. But, I want to get your take... (Sorry for the iPhone quality pics). Thanks for your help!
Nanuq Posted June 26, 2013 Report Posted June 26, 2013 My gut tells me Yuki. I see some hints of Minh there but .......... I doubt it.
cc33 Posted June 26, 2013 Report Posted June 26, 2013 No idea who made it, sorry, but it's not a high end (minh or phong) which are the only ones I have experience with. It looks wokky and the crown is strange, never seen that variation. Yuki's is different. Left to right: yuki, ingod, ndt, and yours
jerkstore Posted June 26, 2013 Author Report Posted June 26, 2013 So I think it's a Yuki. Definitely got some wok. The case back and crown look identical to the one aeromatic posted about here... http://www.rwgforum.net/topic/111232-james-bond-6538-big-brevet-crown-sub/ The bezel looks better than Ingod. The one thing that confuses me is the bezel insert. But given the pics I've seen, I would say it's either Yuki or NDT. Probably the former.
freddy333 Posted June 26, 2013 Report Posted June 26, 2013 Looks like a standard rep case or maybe a Yuki. Definitely not genuine or high end aftermarket.
Ephry73 Posted June 26, 2013 Report Posted June 26, 2013 Looks like the yuki case with a different crown. Almost like an Athaya crown. The pearl on the insert is definitely suspect. Can you take the bezel apart?
eduardor Posted June 26, 2013 Report Posted June 26, 2013 My guess is that this is a yuki case, since all yuki's 6538 are very wokky.
jerkstore Posted June 26, 2013 Author Report Posted June 26, 2013 Well cheaper than Phong or Minh ($1600) sure. But $800 (yuki's price) is nothing to sneeze at...
aeromatic Posted June 26, 2013 Report Posted June 26, 2013 This is a yuki case my yuki case build came without the swiss cross marking in between the lugs the shape of the rehaunt and bezel coin edge cuts look like yukis the thing that throws it off is that cheap rep insert definately not a yuki insert a bit of work refinishing the case will make better results that a cartel 6538 i believe ! if you havent purchased it im after a 6538 case for my tudor rose build !
mjmj Posted June 26, 2013 Report Posted June 26, 2013 Looking at the rehaut,I think it's a yuki. Also the insert looks like a yuki type insert
