Tonyyammine Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 I would like to buy a milgauss 1019. Yuki has this. http://www.yukiwatch.com/catalog/item/6924997/10096214.htm The thing is i do not like that he states its an economy case. To me that means cheap shitt. Anyone can guide me to something better or is this good enough. Thanku Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lhooq Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 Most of the 1019 cases I've seen (photos only; never handled one) are not very good, regardless of price. Both Phong's and Yuki's high-end cases look very inaccurate. The only one that might pass muster is NDTrading's, but it's hard to be certain from the photos available. As for this one? It looks like a standard rep Datejust case, which is very, very different from a 1019 case's dimensions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luthier Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 (edited) Why don't you buy the watch? It's available. [/u Edited August 26, 2014 by Luthier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonyyammine Posted August 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 I'm going to buy the watch. I just like that dial. If anyone knows a good place to get the silverfish white dial. Thanku. Ever since I tried the gen I love this watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonyyammine Posted August 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 I went on NDTrading but they only take wire payments. I do not buy like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

automatico Posted April 21, 2016 Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 "Luthier, is this a Gen or Rep...If Rep...Where did you purchase?" This thread is a year and a half old and the outcome was never stated. The watch pictured does not show the case side profile or if it has lug holes or not...it might be just a standard DJ case with MG dial. The genuine 1019 has flat case sides like a submariner and the 38mm case is bigger than an older DJ with lug holes. The 28.8/9mm 1019 dial is bigger in diameter than a DJ dial and will not fit a 36mm DJ case. The 1019 is not an easy watch to copy with the parts that are available. The Yuki kit (the one made for a genuine rolex mvt) is not super accurate to an original but everything fits and by the time you gather up all the parts, the Yuki kit might have been cheaper. A DJ case will not make a very accurate 1019 especially if it does not have lug holes. I have seen a couple made from 36mm DJ cases and they did not look very good at all. If the latest oyster perpetual is 38mm +/- it might work but the case sides need to be flattened and lug holes drilled...quite a job. A 1016 is a lot easier.
