Thanks
I order plexi pallets on acrylformen.de in various thickness and diameters to reshape them by hands
Thanks
Can you share with us what diameter fitted in?

For this alix case I worked from a pallet about 41mm and reduce it at 40,2 mm without gasket. The T24 plexi from NW measure 40mm and is a little be to narrow, it could be work with GS cement.

Well, not exactly "now", but I have had this in mind since I was infected with the Angelus SF240 bug around 10 years ago.....patience is the name of the game.

Esdee WL case detailed by Elias, Southy dial, original hands and a SF240 assembled by me with NOS non alarm parts.

Next will be a 3646 case with a Southy/Dow California dial, early Southy parts and most likely a vintage 6497/6498 under the hood.

Still plans, I need to get out of this fucking four wheel thing.
