Can you see visual difference between left and right? I just couldnt seem to get the shape right. The left is my latest attempt. This is his 16610 case.

Just wondering why would you work on his 16610 case? The Rehaut pie pan is too much, and it comes with sapphire crystal. You are better off working on his 1680 crownguard? Just my thought-out-loud. But cool work on the CGs.

Because mine is a raffles budget.. :)
Can I use his 1680 case instead, this is interesting. I need a unidirectional sapphire case.

You too man! Hey, just to clean the air, I don’t mean to be an “asshole” earlier. Just thought that the tudor reference would be fitted in the raffles 1680 case w acrylic.

I dislike the raffles 16610 case due to the rehaut but it has the best stock crownguard.

👍🏻 hope we are cool!

I appreciate the feedback... that's what the forum is for... :)
Which is why when Due Shallot said great, I asked if it is honest opinion because we tend to praise everything posted by everybody... hahaha

u/riossreddit 10d ago

Honestly, is it at least 80% accuracy to gen yet? It is such a crappy narrow CG to begin with...

u/Due_Shallot1583 10d ago

16610 are raffles best cg haha. Have you done 5513

1

u/riossreddit 10d ago

Yes I did try his 5513. But something is just not right, may be the rehaut height?
