I have custom made casebacks for this cases. Solid engraved and OPB display.
Those are same for crownguard case also (the fat one)
I worked a lot with this cases, removed crown area recess, a bit of reshape and case is good.
Also T24 plexi is a must have, Sternkreuz is a bit lower.

Yes, your builds with these cases are truly awesome. Please share some pics with the forumKp0y wrote:I have custom made casebacks for this cases. Solid engraved and OPB display.

I have a few of these cases also. I do wish the CB was compatible with others so I could get a good display version, but for the money it’s a great base to build an everyday watch.Mike08 wrote:Man that looks absolutely great!!!earloflondon wrote: ↑June 16th, 2021, 12:54 pmI already did itEmilio wrote:My thoughts exactly

I also use the sternkreuz hw for the cartel-cases (i use 392)
What is about the crown?
BTW - Raffles' 8MM crown fits the existing tube on this case...

Great
Did you remove the step around the crown with a dremel?

No, I left it as is. I think I would bugger that job if I tried it =).Mike08 wrote: ↑June 16th, 2021, 1:51 pmatkin68 wrote: ↑June 16th, 2021, 1:47 pmI have a few of these cases also.

I did notice Alex's comment, so I'll be reaching out to him RE those casebacks. That could be a game changer. Like I said I have a few of these, and I did actually try drilling one out to make my own display CB of it - it doesn't look awesome, but all I have is a drill press so...

So the step disappears under the crown?
Absolutely, your case looks already very good as it is now, with an engraved crown and opb caseback it would be perfect...
Finally again a cheap, available case that can be modded to look awesome!
Ps: good work on the cb

Thanks [mention]Mike08[/mention] . The Raffles crown fits nicely in that step. I also have a Raffles 8MM RLX crown, but this watch I was shooting for a totally sterile, unmarked homage. I am still working on the dial so for now it has the MM dial.Mike08 wrote: ↑June 16th, 2021, 2:04 pm @atkin68

I'll keep the crown as is. Mine is an OP. So this will be a nice modern Radi project. One with no second dial, and the other with a sub second chapter at 6 o'clock. Both dials surely from Belkin12Mike08 wrote:Man that looks absolutely great!!!earloflondon wrote: ↑June 16th, 2021, 12:54 pmI already did itEmilio wrote:My thoughts exactly
