Probably NW (if I find one already reshaped with soldered lugs). :)

I’ve had no previous experience in filing, sanding or soldering and I just finished NW Cali case it’s not hard at all just follow NW step-by-step manual. Anyway good luck finding finished case especially old NW asymmetric case.

Case in progress :angel: But 1,5mm between lugs and case will be very tricky for strap.. I thinking about 2mm, is so wrong? For lugs use 1.8mm dentist wire, very hard stainless..
