Many thanks for sharing! I hope the the improvements are more than a laser-etched case back.The New 1675 Raffles Cases Are In.
Hello Members, Ken notified me that the new 1675 cases are available.. Canāt wait to order at least 2 .forum.replica-watch.info
There's a couple of images on this thread
I've found a good crown tube option in Cousins that fits well. I didn't find the Raffles tube to be of good quality and is not using gen specs.
Do you have the exact Sternkreuz parts-number? Because there were 2 Sternkreuz crystals that people were mentioning lately. So, of i know which one you used and didnāt fit, Iām gonna order the other oneAnother fun build iam working on.
Tried to fit a sternkreuz (right date magnification position) acrylic crystal but the bezel would not fit for some reason.
So i tried to send it with a dremel.. learned never to do that with acrylic.
So messed up the sternkreuz crystal and my bezel gasket.
Sanded the original date mag. of the Raffles crystal, cut the sternkreuz into pieces and sanded the date mag to UV glued it onto the Raffles crystal in the right position.
And also UV glued the crystal to the case.
Aged the dial with lacquer spray, aged the insert with a little sandpaper and bleach.
Shaped the crownguards.
Expoxied the bezel onto the case, hopefully still fully turning.
If not, who cares.. i dont
Assembled everything and waiting for the epoxy to fully harden.
Will clean off some uv glued residu around the date mag afterwards.

The outer diameter on this one is 0,2mm larger than on the Sternkreuz 300. Maybe thatās the reason why the bezel didnāt fit.
Whats different with the 300
In the thread that you linked, they are talking about the Milk case. Does it apply to the raffles case as well?
Fuck me! Thats why.. ok next one will be the 300.. or maybe Raffles got it right this time..
Yes. Both cases have a genuine size rehaut, so they use the same crystals.
We donāt know, but my āoldā case came out pretty good, so Iām not planning on buying the new version of the case. All I need is a crystal. This would be the one:
Just got the same one, wouldnt want to risk offering the wrong one.We donāt know, but my āoldā case came out pretty good, so Iām not planning on buying the new version of the case. All I need is a crystal. This would be the one:
