Searching for the best 1655 midcase

[trash55]

hi all im chasing after the most ideal 1655 midcase for my project. Most of the cases ive seen so far are either too thick or has lugholes too close to the bevel edges.

 

Is there anyone here that could help me build the desired case i want? I would gladly pay for the service and time.

 

I need the midcase and caseback, and ideally high quality engravings

 

I have everything else for the build. Mostly gen parts like bezel, dial, hands and 1575 movt.

 

Any help appreciated. Thanks!

I started a 1655 project a few years ago and bought a slightly used Phong case from a member at that time.  Since then I have looked at just about every 1655 replica case pictured on this forum and others and it seems to me the Phong cases are as good as any and better than most. 

The numbers and letters on my case are very good too.

 

There was a Phong 1655 case for sale on the forum about 8 months ago (sold in a couple days) but I have not seen one on here since then. 

My guess is many 'aged' Phong 1655 cases are making the rounds at watch shows posing as 'original and genuine' watches.  Ha!
