done and done

Hey all, Ever since the original run sold, I’ve received a bunch of inquires on whether a second batch of 1016 explorer dials would be created. While I didn’t plan on making any more dials, I will be making one last batch of 1016 explorer dials exclusively (sorry, no other models will be made) if the demand is high enough. I would be making 30 total dials, but would need 20 dials accounted for to start printing. The original design has been tweaked so the text/details will be thinner than the original run (which was a bit too thick). The 1016 design that will be printed was hand traced from a genuine dial, and then further edited and refined in a vector program to get optimal printing results once the cliche is made. As before, dials will come unlumed, so you can apply glowing or non-glowing lume. If anyone is interested in a 1016 dial, kindly start a list below and add your username. Once the list/orders are filled, I estimate that the dials will be finished/in transit in 60-90 days. Dials will each be $179. First 5 members to sign up will receive a $10 discount. Previous dial version can be seen below. As mentioned earlier, it will be the same 1016 variant, but with thinner printing http://www.rwgforum.net/topic/171126-my-explorer-1016-build-is-finally-complete/ To clarify, this is not a sales post, just want to gauge interest! Special thanks to bangalter for getting this rolling Update: And the most prestigious gold star for tomhorn

I'd sure think so! I'll pm you his email

Also, I'd recommend dbane for case aging over Phong. Dbane's case aging yields a more dynamic/believable result (I've had 2 cases aged myself).

I know that he does some vintage panerai-type cases, but I was referring to his ability to engrave. He has the ability to do both rotary and pantograph engravings. So if you can supply a case back, I'm sure he can help out. I'm currently getting some custom end links fabricated by him, the guy is a legend

FYI guys, I gave the custom vector 5514 case back design to Neckyzips, so I believe he can do the same engraving for cheaper

Love how that wasn't censored in the quote

These were on the gen 1665 SRSD Proto's

What'd you use for the aging? Water colors? Shoe polish?

Can anyone recommend a person who has experience with fine anodizing work? I'm aiming to get the triangle on my 6538 insert dyed red, which requires a bit more finesse/fine tuning then most of the anodizing services I've seen offered.

Wow what a beauty! Second pic is my favorite - great framing

Wow, what a total badass this guy is! King frog, don't forgot your sunglasses and this when you leave:

Wow - Excellent job JMB! I have a 5513 inner caseback design if you need one, just shoot me a pm

It has a steel crystal retention ring yep. Not sure how deep in mm the rehaut is though

No harm no foul S! As for the case overpaying: you win some you lose some :0

No worries S. RWG is definitely the forum to ask all vintage Rolex-related questions

"wow, that's beautiful."...."the movement is platinum gold". Wow, this GUY is gold

This is actually pretty funny Helenarou goes by MK. I have designed several of his dials (6538, 6200). If you want to re-read my email, I never said that it was an exact copy of the gen 5513 case. I said "he purchased a gen 5513 case when producing his cases". I designed several of his dials for him in preparation for his case production, this is how I know. I purchased this case a while ago and paid almost $400 including shipping.. If he sells them on eBay for less than that, then clearly I got a bad deal. - Whoop

Just got my SRSD 1665 back from the RSC

Some purty pictures you got there Y As always, amazed with your breakdown of details like these
