The New 1675 Raffles Cases Are In.

I do not see them on his site yet, are they priced like the other cases he sells?
Cause if so and they are even half as good as say MILK, that is awesome!!!

These are cases that are forged from curdled milk, it is a very long and tedious process, but once completed, you get a material that is just as strong as 316 stainless and mimics the grain and nano structure of stainless steel identically.

Curious where you got this information? Ken directly told me via email that he did not have any pictures of the cases, and wasnt sure when they would hit the website.
He told me via email he sent me a picture from the factory… I will purchase 4 cases , he said they should be ready by the end of this week .
What movements does it fit? He usually has that listed as well. Not seeing anything on the site at this time?
Not an expert on 1675 case shape but, have been tempted to build one - only done the explorer so far. What do you see as still an issue on this case?
They still need a lot of reshaping work. Much less than the original case, but still quite a bit more than the other higher end cases on the market (bivintage and Milk)
Not trying to be a pain but, I see the bottom CG on the raffles pic looks like it correctly begins to pull away near where the top of the crown sits and maybe it’s the angle because the top CG looks too blocky/squared off but, maybe it’s the angle. So hoping both CGs are looking better when it hits Ken’s site. But other than that the lugs prolly need a bit of polishing to smooth out for age - vintage. What else do you see from this limited pic - Honest question as I attempted some reshaping on my explorer build to 6350 and quite honestly it’s - not great - so, before I jump into a potential mistakes on a 1675 would love any detailed opinion on the new raffles case.
I suggest you go take a look at a few gen 1675 cases, and you will see they definitely need shaping still. Quite a bit of it.
I like the CGs I’m not a purest, the price is right for my projects.
oh, Im not complaining! They are great cases for the money, no doubt! Just can be made even better with some work.
