I use 1.2mm, then very slightly polish/ lightly sand the fat bars on the trunk to fit. I'd rarther do this than have oversized lug holes, but that's just me.
Every single Rolex part has to be logged with serials, photographed and documented, you can't even order some parts in multiples. Many people lost their accounts due to profiteering. It's very difficult to get lose parts and in effect prices soar, grab them whilst you can
I tried to manufacture some brass bezels and it never happened due to cost. So I used HR and changed almost every dimension of it on the lathe, turned out nice, but it's a lot of work... May as well seek out a Vietnamese caseset/ Tonny ($600)
The case was totally changed also but that's another extreme makeover, it was a silix case.
Im 100%sure this happens more often than people would admit it..
if you can get the sword out of the stone, I could possibly laser weld you're case and drill it so it looks acceptable to use
