How close were the DSN 6152 cases to gen specs around 10 years ago?
My daughter poked around in my small shop and pulled out a few unused from 2009-2010.
Value, sought after?

I have found this from @NoobyPanFan
350$ for a complete watch after modding:

1:1 not much... but if I recall correctly, you could get them closer to that by hand shaping them.

Well, that is not going to happen as I see it.
A complete watch for $350, Ross dial, Swiss 6498 and high end strap and buckle. Can't do less than $750 and that would make me bleed a little.

You have the base price, just need to adjust it accordingly (the difference in price for a swiss mov., etc)

Well, the 6152/1 case is not really that rare. We still have those on Aliexpress, but of course, high quality case is another story

that´s some kind of a modern Fiddy that is completely out of shape
but 6152/1 - nothing for now...

Some member still use case like that to make great builds, but of course, they have to do so much work
