Congratulations, it turned out to be a really nice watch.
I'm also thinking about building a 34mm Air-King. Looking for the best case candidate, but it's hard to find a decent one.
Options include Raffles 34mm case and the Yuki 15000 case which according to my understanding is the same as a 14000 case (sans cyclops).
Anyone has experience with the Yuki 15000 case? Is it worth the $200 premium over the Raffles case?
I have both the rafffles case and the yuki case. They’re quite different from each other. Well my 15000 case set is from Silix but it looks identical to the one offered by Yuki. It also came with the proper 19 mm bracelet ( not shown) as a completed watch from Silix with 21 j for $116
I believe their out of stock. Last I checked. But worth the pick up from yuki.
The yuki is accurate for a 6694 /1500 / 150000 however I am using it for my Tudor 7966. It came with an acrylic crystal. The caseback uses the large case back tool to open
The engravings are accurate and well done Comes with a 5.3 crown
The raffles I used in my 6084 build with a 2824 movement
The raffles case has a sapphire crystal that I swapped a domed yuki acrylic. I had to modify the bezel to fit
The case profile is thinner and more svelte the casebacks use the caseback tool that is one size smaller have a modified Tudor flat caseback on this watch to resemble the 50’s style casebacks. The rolex style caseback is presentation style with a window
The yuki case has a bigger feel on the wrist than the raffles it might be the taller caseback. The flat crystal
Quick pics for comparison
