ww12345 Posted August 7, 2014 Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 So, with my first 5514 complete but one lonesome COMEX Whoopy dial left over, I need to start another project. Since HH is out of cases (and it seems like everyone that has one is reluctant to get rid of it... for good reason!) I'm forced to turn to the Cartel. Of what's out there, who makes the best cases, as far as thickness is concerned. I know one of the biggest problems with 5514s is the fact that you usually get a repurposed 1665 case. How are either of these cases? http://www.puretime-asia.com/product/vintage-submariner-5514-comex-yellow-lume-dial-a21j/ http://www.puretime-asia.com/product/vintage-comex-submariner-5514-best-edition/ All I really want it for is the caseset, so not really concerned about movement or dial or anything like that...

bobandshawn Posted August 7, 2014 Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 Every time I have tried to order one of PT's Rollies with the 21J movement (the cheaper versions - and I said I would take ANY), they were not available. I've heard the same from others at RWI, and I'm NOT paying ETA prices for just the case... ~B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pam007 Posted August 7, 2014 Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 this one has much better crown guards. Still need some slimming down, but much better than the other one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ww12345 Posted August 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 That's what I thought... Wonder if he just sources cases? Also, is there any other source for better cases or is this pretty much it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbane883 Posted August 7, 2014 Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 I might have a phong case for sale soon. It's by far the best 5514 case next to gen after some case reworking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
