highoeyazmuhudee Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 I've seen this seller selling cases on ebay recently and was wondering who's the maker of these aftermarket cases? does anyone know? can you tell from the pics? http://cgi.ebay.com/Replacement-Aftermarket-Stainless-Submariner-16800_W0QQitemZ320491069345QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item4a9ec19fa1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 A very interesting case; especially for a 16800. $600 BIN sans bezel assembly or any other component may be a bit steep, especially considering that the case appears to need some work to bring it up to snuff (i.e. lugs look as though they need drilling to open up the springbar holes, lugs look a bit too chunky, etc). No idea where this one originates from, however... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indyberetta Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 I saw that one the other day. I am not sure either. That guy has been selling some other items that I have questioned if they were gen as he said they were...i.e. crown, a movement, etc. Maybe one of the other members might know this case better. The 16800 is what I am not use to seeing for use with a gen movement in aftermarket form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stilty Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 Anyone buy one? I see he sold a couple on the bay, just wondering if anyone here picked one up. I requested some pics and he sent me pics of a case stamped 16803. And I see this type of case has been around before.... fake 16803 case on VRF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highoeyazmuhudee Posted March 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 Nothing new to report I guess. I found myself again thinking about the origin of this case today as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
