These appear to be a true 4 o-clock crown build so the new turtles won't swap in without day/date wheels from an older 4 o-clock crown model like 6306/9 or 7002/9 with the correct crown position if the parts will fit the newer seiko's... I have never tried.my understanding is that this is the case proto you mentioned on WUS "one off"thread which was never completed as the crown needed modificatio,it moved to the homage forum and taken to kickstarter in March...here is the pic from the homage forum and WUS...one of the core seiko nuts over on SCWF would know!
The crown cutout does need a round cut in that case rather than a notch but the prototyping is coming along well...
There was a small "one off" run of exact reproductions of the new turtle case in bronze done over there on SCWF too, might be a better solution than this case for new turtle swaps...
a google search for turtle bronzo produced a WUS thread about the "one off" guy in Indonesia, pretty interesting setup, bespoke watch cases in most materials for under 400.00...
