thewightstuff Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 (edited) as per topic, just wondering if anyone has an contacts that can help ordering a part for me from rolex. anyone know anyone with an account or access to get parts. if so let me know and i can see if you can help. its a replacement oyster case, bare for a 5513 that took a nasty ding at the weekend and now has a gouge out of it. rolex offer replacement cases with 4,4xx,xxx serials according to my info and id like to try and look into this. ofcourse if you have access to used bare case that would do too dont need any ancilliary bits like, bezel, crown tube, crystal ring etc. these can all be reused. just the bare case with/without back Edited November 22, 2006 by thewightstuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manuel Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 I didnt know rolex offered replacement cases. They keep the old case uh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewightstuff Posted November 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 they offer cases just like any other part though even harder to get id imagine. theyve also stopped pretty much allowing independents to get parts too though this is being challenged legally and ive heard that some can still manage though cannot verify. apparently they cases come complete and watertight ie with glass, back and crown tube so its not going to be cheap as a replacement i wouldnt have thought.

slay Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 the best thing would be that someone who has a genuine rolex takes the part you need off, gives it to an AD, the AD will replace the part (and charge you, of course). Thats the easiest way to get certain parts cheap, I guess. I'm surprised noone ever did this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewightstuff Posted November 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 it is a gen so it may be that we just send it into them though its right on the cusp of being an issue as its 1971. i try to keep things away from RSC as much as possible, especially when theres tritum dials etc involved hence the reason for asking. ill just see what the options are by getting in touch with them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slay Posted November 23, 2006 Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 put a note on it: "DO NOT REPLACE/REFINISH DIAL" thats how ppl usualy do it, if they dont want a redial! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
