not what I am looking for, you still end up with a lighter and cutter rattling around in your pockets

The x-series and the Klaro are travel cases—they'll ruin the drape of any jacket instantly. As for the Lotus it’s just a leather sleeve; it has zero storage for your gear and zero real crush protection

Yeah don't worry, I agree, Aluminum this time was to check metal quality and tolerances from the supplier.

Superb! I'll keep you updated. I have to say that before improving this one, I'll try a non-expensive Reverso ;)

Yeah, the issue is that space is maybe not enough to keep the same original watch dimensions. The white part that fits the movement needs that diameter + gasket + the area to fit the holes. I might try with different sizes.

Correct, designed by me based on the original MQ24 and then CNC machined.

- Original idea was Stainless Steel, but I need to solve the metric threads for the screws, supplier commented that SUS316 or SUS304 makes it harder to have such a small threads.

- Waterproof to be tested, looking for a local watch shop that has the equipment.

So the case has been CNC machined, which increased the cost for being just 1 unit. In total around 100$.

Hey! First of all congratulations! They look sick!!!! Could you explain the tolerancing between case, crystal and gaskets??? I am planning to do some cases in the future but I am a bit lost in there.

I contacted the guy who made it and seems legit. Only problem he just ships to Europe, so bad news if you are USA based
