  7. 1016 Explorer Dial interest - final printing

    in The Rolex Area

    Posted

    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 :)
     
     
     
    To clarify, this is not a sales post, just want to gauge interest! 
     
    Special thanks to bangalter for getting this rolling

  10. Rolex 5514 build

    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 :)

  23. Anyone ever hear of MK cases from HK?

    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.
