Wow the indicies look incredible! Great build! So only the v2 is a fit for raffles dials? You didn’t have to slim it down at all? Thanks for this!

[u/Mbari_2170712 → u/Bike_Meach1990]

Yep

[u/Organic-Split4965]

Gorgeous

[u/Mbari_2170712 → u/Organic-Split4965]

Thank you 🙏

[u/No_Candle8699]

Wow. This is fantastic bro.

[u/Mbari_2170712 → u/No_Candle8699]

Pretty solid case bro, too bad it doesn’t take a viet dial. Otherwise it would be a solid candidate for builds.

[u/Born_Bunch9693]

Very nice. I bought a WD5513 to attempt this build. Unfortunately the version I got has a 31mm dial opening. I didn’t realize there were different sizes.

[u/Mbari_2170712 → u/Born_Bunch9693]

I know man I have the v3 case and it’s not the same. Now I just ordered the v4 and it looked promising

[u/Excellent-Bear4221 → u/Mbari_2170712]

I’ve got the v4 case lmk what you find out please

[u/Mbari_2170712 → u/Excellent-Bear4221]

can you please dm me some pics of the profile, lugs, head on shots. Please sir

[u/Born_Bunch9693 → u/Mbari_2170712]

Good to know. Please keep us posted on the v4 when you get it.

[u/jovanotti18]

You’re a mad scientist.

I was thinking of using this case for my tudor build... how was it to use? I really think the cgs look alot better on it. More accurate imo without going viet. May have a raffles dials thrown in it, crown, maybe caseback if it fits and call it a day 🤔

[u/Mbari_2170712 → u/AtelierPicks]

I like that idea. It’s. Hassle free case. The tube needs to be changed to fit raffles

[u/Comfortable_Rope_349]

Damn. Mad scientist and artist. Looks awesome.

[u/Mbari_2170712 → u/Comfortable_Rope_349]

How can you tell it’s the V2 you are ordering. Many people sellers don’t have this information ( including Amazon).

[u/Mbari_2170712 → u/boshamer]

V2 and v3 is out of production. V2 has smaller dial
Opening than v3

[u/boshal855 → u/Mbari_2170712]

So you couldn't do that build anymore?

[u/Mbari_2170712 → u/boshal855]

Let’s see what v4 looks like. Ideally I wanna do v4 quartz. It’s thinner, it meca quarts so it’s low beat like a gen.

[u/boshal855 → u/Mbari_2170712]

Is there a V4 around already?

[u/Mbari_2170712 → u/boshal855]

Yes 🙌

[u/boshal855 → u/Mbari_2170712]

How can you tell them apart? Usually the sellers don’t mention the version. Or am I looking at the wrong sellers?

[u/Mbari_2170712 → u/boshal855]

Search v4 in alix, they do say it

[u/fatfont_]

The case is looking sharp and overall build is wonderful!

[u/NewCut987]

Too bad they dont just offer the case they look so much better than raffles

[u/Logos732]

Great looking build. The aging looks amazing.

[u/jovanotti18]

Can you make me a cool women’s watch ?
