The 1675 case from Raffles, the crown shoulder protector is very large, so I polished and corrected the crown shoulder protector, and by the way I also polished a PCG shoulder protector with a file。I use Chinese 2836 movement, Raffles dial and hands, fat font bezel. I also tried to replace the bezel with another color。

Beautiful work! My Raffles case should arrive this week. Did you need to modify the non-Raffles inserts to fit his bezel?

last question! What tool did you use to remove the crown tube? Thanks!
Buy one of these screwdrivers, remove the seal ring before operating, and then heat the tubehttps://clickpix.org/image/%E5%BE%AE%E4%BF%A1%E5%9B%BE%E7%89%87-20231226113055.HFH5J3

Hi! Is the dial color white or light yellow? I would like to order one and I don't know which one to choose from the two Raffles offers. Thank you! Also, nice build!

R.O.Archer,
Can you please provide a link, if possible, to the 3M adhesive ring you are using for the insert? I ordered several from EWatchparts that are too wide and a PITA to cut to size. Thank you
