Specs are 111j case that has had the crown tube hole drilled to fit the new crown tubw, dsn caseback and cg and crown, Asian movement for now, Belkin dial. I still have to drill the lugs, take off the AR and wait for the hands to arrive. But I'm so excited to see this coming along I just wanted to share. Sometime down the road I'll reshape the case and soften it.

I love the dial & caseback. Is the CG a bit lopsided or is it just the picture?

Great to see some pre V love. Belkin12's dial looks pretty good

Thanks for sharing.

There are many references to case 111j as one of the optimal bases for a pre-v build project.

This is not the most common thing today. Could you show a profile photo of the case on both sides at right angles so that its benefits are raised more clearly.

I think many people who have not seen the production period of this series would see its superiority for these purposes over the standard modern noob.
