Looking forward to seeing how this pans out and getting my paws on some of drvintage's work.

Just received my case from @drvintage - Initial impressions are very good. I will get a comparison thread with my Helenarou build up over the weekend!
I'd feel confident to say it's easily the best value GEN-spec case on the market now. Plexi fitted beautifully (I've gone straight to a 25-125 Tudor Cyclops) over the neck and the bezel moves with the perfect friction.
It might be a few weeks before I get round to fitting the GEN tube and crown and drilling the lugs but I am very pleased so far!

Also received mine! Extremely happy with it. @drvintage also did some custom case work for me. Got a HR dial and just waiting on the athaya crown to start the build.
Great work on the case! Will follow up with pics as I progress the build

Pls note for athaya or gen 703 tube you have a tap the tobe hole a little bit:
Or you use aftermarket 704 crowns with the flat case side:
Here some pics of installed 704 crown on the gen I originaly scanned:

Edit:
it seems to be 702 tube/crown from Athaya:
I had one Athaya crown on stock, I was thinking it was 702, but it seems to be probably 700 - the crown can be screwed deeper on the tube, so it fits plug and play.
