hanski 40 Posted August 29, 2018 Good morning all you case modding experts, I need a little help with my 1675 thin Cartel case project . So I started with a stock 1675 Cartel case, reshaped the CG’s, did a little bit to the lugs, and then took .7mm off the back of the case. This cut the case thickness down to 4.5mm from 5.08mm - pretty good . Generally speaking everything has gone well. The case back screws in tight and the cut is pretty even. I still have some cleaning and polishing left but it’s almost there. This biggest issue I’m faced with it the case back gasket channel - it was near eliminated in the case reduction. The functionalist in me wants it back. Can anyone provide some thoughts on what tools or methods would give me a clean cut channel? Thanks! @J!m @NCRich @RolexAddict Pictures are of the thin cut case and my previous build, default thickness Cartel case. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
