oldtools Posted December 31, 2023 Report Share Posted December 31, 2023 Looks great! What movement did you use? How is the BiVintage case? I've been thinking of getting his 16610 case. https://www.ebay.com/itm/266566815328?hash=item3e109ece60:g:V6sAAOSwpctle4r0&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAA4NpWc%2F%2F7rLxGAt%2BhDswo0rmn6VdnSqVAFlbdjkSKsm58%2F7Pvb%2FTPO2chzBXjcPGe3yhOmHaskLu436uU%2BPizHmWEeH4%2F7Jf1rFKPZIGG3VswxBfnKHQ1HdNjc4qo3TGTdrxftAWABkgmkjdDIn8z%2BKByzg%2BJ%2F%2FP24EVreIDiCDHUapdx5mtdbYUkqXtW809j84PnZW5PNDyP0Q8AARHXqFCOZZmEEjJHfmSw9CT%2F75J10GBkGXK9catSmtedmCAGZ7RWOTagSq1Pz7UkfxX6ybB7eJqziLGn%2FhkuVkVL2fDY|tkp%3ABk9SR9KVnZOYYw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick1972 Posted December 31, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2023 For the money, he is good. 650€ is expensive for a 16610 case. He quoted me a lot less a few months ago but people know the cheap route so i guess he upped the price🤷 I builded a 16570 and the price was 450€ for the case.

chyrule Posted July 5 Report Share Posted July 5 Looks amazing.. How did you shape the crownguard.? Can u give a few pointers im looking to do the same thing. Did u use a dremel or files.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted July 5 Report Share Posted July 5 Most use whatever works -- a combination of files, sandpaper, Dremel, polishing compounds etc. The tools are less important than your ability to see what mods are required, your knowledge of what is needed to make a new/rep case appear to have naturally lived through years/decades of wear/polishing & skill in wielding whatever tools used to achieve the end you seek. Like most skills, your knowledge, experience & abilities are what counts, not the tools used to achieve a result. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chyrule Posted July 5 Report Share Posted July 5 That is very true.. I might have to practice on some junk watch cases before I attempt to shape the crown guards. Thanks for the advice. It makes total sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
