I managed to grab an eBay case, pretty happy with it except it won’t easily fit a solid end link bracelet, one of the holes is a little off.

I’ll be looking forward to getting another case some day for an explorer build.

The holes were off on my case, too. To make a solid-end link bracelet fit, I slightly opened up the holes in the bracelet's solid-end links and bent the spring bars. It fit perfectly

It’s the closest we have.

Swap tube and crown for gen.

It’s quite impossible on that stock dude because the tube that he use is bigger than gen, so there is not material to make a gen spec theard if someone want to do it.

Other than this he make a large hole and put a rubber gasket between tube and case, that is faraway from gen.

However you are able to send him parts and he can developed on parts that you sent to him.

That’s exactly things need to be done mate. I’ve done some project in the past using ebay/german case and on all of them i need to bent a bit the bracelet and also the springbars and shave a bit the holes on SEL bracelet version. Can be easily on NOT SEL vesion
