automatico Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 I saw a while back where a couple members were wondering if any replica casebacks would fit a genuine rolex 16000 etc case. A caseback from a noob F520117 submariner has the exact same threads but the od is a bit bigger and will need to be cut down. genuine 16000 cb threads...30.90mm noob cb threads...30.92mm Use 30.9 as a reference. 16000 cb od...32.4mm noob cb od...35.5mm You will only need to remove about 1.5mm of material to get it down to 32.4mm+/-. 16000 cb overall thickness inc threads...4.35mm noob cb overall thickness inc threads...5.05mm material thickness in the center of the 16000 cb = .8mm material thickness in the center of the noob cb = 1.4mm Anyone handy with a lathe can turn the noob cb od down to fit the DJ case and there is enough material in the noob cb to reduce the overall thickness a little if desired. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
