13.7mm would be a dream! That’s wild that the new rep caseback shaves off an additional 0.2mm over the Pagani’s stock case back since it already looks so flat - guess I’ll have to ask Jason for some of the newer casebacks.

How much were they?

$25 USD each for the Replica Casebacks.

Yeah the 13.7 is my favorite, also without the newer blueish Pagani AR coating.

I believe we might place a group purchase given the common interest

I think if we did a group buy we'd do full cases with bracelets. I could handle US side shipment and also include the 3d printed movement holders at no extra cost. Could also include a single PE50 stem for a small fee as well. Would pretty much be a build kit at that point!

There is a lot to like about the Pagani 1701 case:


But I would like to seek advice from you fine (and not-so-fine) gents who already have done the Pagani case mod-
What did you do about the crown? The standard AliX crown that works on the standard AliX cases does not fit to this tube.

Pop the tube off and put a crown with the right tube
It should be 2.5mm in

I never keep the stock tube. It is slightly longer than the rep crown tube so the crown never sits flush if you don’t change the tube

*SIGH*
I have been avoiding even thinking about that since I started this terrible hobby. And having a hard time justifying the $40 on a crown tube press from Ali.
Generally how hard are they to push out? Maybe I can jig something up and ruin a perfectly good case.

If you are confident and accept losing the pagani tube, then just yank the tube out with pincer pliers

Another option is to use a 2.3 mm stake to push it out with a hammer

But you need balls 😅
