Originally that is what it meant. Since the first hundred or so J.Flowers were made in my shop as customer orders I put a serial number on each one. Then the first batch of production cases was done at Jiasen and I decided not to put serial numbers on them to distinguish the production versions from the customs for identification purposes.
Then Jiasen decided on their own to put serial numbers on the production cases. So now we have both custom and production J.Flowers models out there with numbers.
Welcome to wonderful world of multi-facility manufacturing. :-)
Qualitywise cases from our shop and cases from Jiasen are both very high quality work. There are slight differences in the way we build the cases but this comes mostly from the different equipment we use. The owner of Jiasen, Mr. Wang, is a creative engineeer who has built several machines to assist in the parts prep that are ingenious. As well he has pretty much invented a few construction methods and techniques that are unique to his case making.
