mellons Posted September 6, 2013 Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 this is one done a while back as a trial stock river fiddy with 3mm solid caseback (again stock river) reshaped quite a bit of material removed on this from between lugs and on sides, as well as a lot off top stock midcase is very nice: only one to have gen thickness solid casebacl at 3mm afaik. Midcase is too tall at 7.55mm so this one was subsequently thinned down (from top) by around 0.25- 0.3mm. Bezel needed to be thinned also. The lug curvatuure really is the main difference between this and the stock old jackson case set (my favourite donor)- it really is something. If river made the lugs 0.4mm taller it would be really something. this one was all stock river- dial/hands/crown guard and crown etc. broken up and currently in the master necky's workshop getting ann athaya vintage crown guard and vintage crown and tube installed- with a solid plexi it should make a nice daily beater when i get it back as an out-of-the-box ready-to-wear the river set-up is very nice and can shape up nicely without any further spend. I believe the rxw rep case is very similar (lugs etc). anyway here are some images: BEFORE (stock river fiddy) AFTER (midcase only reshaped- all parts still stock river) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
