jmb Posted December 28, 2014 Report Posted December 28, 2014 Although it's never really mattered to me case-back inside engraving seems to get some folks worked up. Usually on my watches my motto is, "If ya can't see it who gives a $hit!" But, to accommodate these folks I ordered a batch of cases (and a few spare backs) with "sterile" case-backs. I searched around the web and found some good pics of the factory engraving and worked up a program. These case-backs don't have the "step" on the inside so they still don't look quite right but at least Switzerland is spelled correctly! I need to get some engraving bits that are a bit "finer" but this is only apparent in the close-up...

jigelow Posted December 28, 2014 Report Posted December 28, 2014 Always impressed, Justin. What's wrong with Shiterland?
ww12345 Posted December 28, 2014 Report Posted December 28, 2014 Wait, cases come from Switzerland, not Shiterland? Mind blown. 1

jmb Posted December 28, 2014 Author Report Posted December 28, 2014 What's wrong with Shiterland? I have no idea as to why some folks object to this alternate spelling but it seems to really inflame their spleen and spikes their blood-pressure! A quick question for everybody - Since the inside of the generic/rep case-backs do not have the angled "step" on the inside do the masses think it would be best to scale the engraving to the case-back size or keep it scaled proportionally to the gen size like this example?
jmb Posted December 28, 2014 Author Report Posted December 28, 2014 Well, I wasn't gonna name names...
Frazzle1 Posted December 29, 2014 Report Posted December 29, 2014 Well, I wasn't gonna name names... Once the mods on my 6538 are complete and I've paid for a decent strap or bracelet for it, I'll be in touch regarding this amazing case set for my space-dweller build
