Slimmer case looks great! Good improvement!

Did you drill the lug holes out and countersink the crown tube?

Really liking the @drvintage case! I fitted a GEN Tudor 78500 bracelet with 380b end links and they fit beautifully.

I love these. I built a 16000 from @drvintage cases and I think I have to build a 5513 now. Beautiful.

Looks nice! Im interested to know more about Tube and Crown too.. Which refs are these and did you countersink or it was plug and play?

Turned out great! I knackered my 2824 building mine, just can’t seem to get on with that movement. Getting a 3130 or 3135 and will hopefully complete soon

Yes need to drill to 1,2mm and countersunk the tube hole.

Case comes from Old-Crowns.com and I can highly recommend it. It's a really good update.

Do you have recommendations for how to remove the provided case tube? I don’t want to damage the case.

Thanks!

So gen fat spring bars will not fit the case as provided, correct? Hence the need to drill the lug holes to 1.2mm once purchased?

 

[Singapore9]

Correct, though I'd go for 1.3mm to be sure!

 

[DeLoMan]

I wonder if @drvintage can make that lug hole change on his next run of cases? It’s always a pain to drill out those holes, breaking bits, etc.

Yes next batch will be much better. The CNC shop who made this batch has made many mistakes and I will not more work with them. I am not sure when the next batch will be made - I think end of 2025, bcs I want to concentrate me on another models as first
