Not casebacks again?
In Response To: Re: OH NO!!! ()

: And you're absolutely correct. It's all outsourced and has to deal
: with different makers (Ie. LL, GRSA, CRS, HF, ADB) all making
: Speedy casebacks to the required specs but with the very slight
: difference in machine tooling and production dates (Ie. thicker
: or thinner fonts, different Hippocampus, deeper wrench grooves.
: etc. etc.).

What I don't understand is why Omega doesn't require a more stringent set of specs on their casebacks? Its ridiculous to me to have casemakers making subtle differences in the casebacks that make vast differences in aesthetics. This is year 2009 for cryin out loud, feel free to use a laser instead of that 1950ish scribe tool. Omega should tighten the ship up a little bit.
