The case dimension on these is actually pretty damn good. The case back and size is obviously wrong but I bought one. Fitted the raffles dial straight in. Case takes up to 32mm dial. The raffles hands don’t match the dial lume at all. Maybe need to redo them in c3.Yeah the Hrousland doesn't look terrible.
They managed to get the asymmetrical case right. Probably needs some additional shaping but not a bad starting point.
I installed a st2130 with the raffles dial and crown stem height was perfect. Great looking budget build. Somevwork had to be done with movement holder.
I’m currently about to machine the back of the case and case back to more match the 300’s angled style and machine a deeper groove for a fatter more stable gasket.
It uses mineral crystal which is actually really nice looking. Measured 31.0mm I’ll ether replace it with a speedmaster domed sapphire or go plexi. I’ll post pics once finished. Here’s with the dial

does raffles carry the non big triangle version? That’s my jam. Just don’t see it on his website. If not any other options?
Same thoughts I had as well. The big triangle is nice. Just not as nice.
I wish the viet cases were closer to gen (I've heard the lug shape is pretty far off) I kinda wanna go full franken
This looks really good. What's the ID and OD of the insert? Wondering if one of my gen spec inserts would fitThe case dimension on these is actually pretty damn good. The case back and size is obviously wrong but I bought one. Fitted the raffles dial straight in. Case takes up to 31.5mm dial. The raffles hands don’t match the dial lume at all. Maybe need to redo them in c3.

[SOLD] - Rare Franken 165.024 Vintage Omega Seamaster 300, gen cal 552
Sad to be selling as this is a grail and the watch itself was a labor of love. Time to move on. The pics really tell the story as this indistinguishable from gen. That aside, here's some details: Gen movement Gen second hand Viet case, dial, hour, and minute hands Hands relumed by @yodog Custom...

What was that case btw?
Oh. Now I am interested
On pics and youtube, i heard ceramic
Do you mind posting some close up and macro shots?
Yeah sure I’ll get some more pics of the case up later today so you guys can compare the shape, I currently have it apart.
Yes definitely I’ll get the measurements shortly
You wouldn’t happen to know the case thread ID or caseback thread OD measurements of any gen spec cases? Viet or Gen? Any help is much appreciated
Insert ID- 32.0
OD- 39.5
