rolojack Posted November 1, 2014 Report Posted November 1, 2014 I found a maker who accepted to make a few 1019 casets.... It doesn't have the double shell, but outside looks is pretty nice ! Don't look at the dial and hands, I'll take care of this later. Watch out, I'll keep a few for me and sell the others.... Most are already pre-sold to friends, but there might be 2 or 3 left.... Let me know your thoughts ! Attached is a picture of the prototype I approved. All handmade in India. Dia is 37mm +/- and takes a 29mm dial. Next step is to get some nice dials and hands !
rolojack Posted November 1, 2014 Author Report Posted November 1, 2014 Oh, I forgot to say : it's cheap ! Not perfect, but for the price I won't complain. About 100 USD/ case. That should make a complete head near 300 to 350 USD !
Chuck P Posted November 1, 2014 Report Posted November 1, 2014 I would be interested too. What movt is the case designed to accept?

Chuck P Posted November 1, 2014 Report Posted November 1, 2014 Wondering on stem height--2824 or 2836/46? Nice project by the way!
rolojack Posted November 1, 2014 Author Report Posted November 1, 2014 Interested, very interested. I'll PM you when I have them.
seafoam Posted November 1, 2014 Report Posted November 1, 2014 Crown position is a bit low but agreed, for that price range not bad!
rolojack Posted November 1, 2014 Author Report Posted November 1, 2014 Crown position is a bit low but agreed, for that price range not bad! Don't forget it always looks better when you see it live. Pictures are unforgiving !!!! The 1019 is such a b**** to rep. It's very very hard to have a decent one below 1K. So at 300+.....
monkeypunch Posted November 1, 2014 Report Posted November 1, 2014 I'll PM you when I have them. Sweet!
Bc1221 Posted November 2, 2014 Report Posted November 2, 2014 One of my fav vintage rolexes. Been considering the yuki kit but they don't have the lug holes and the wrong size. Would you be offering dials too?
ogladio Posted November 2, 2014 Report Posted November 2, 2014 Sign me up! Have been thinking about doing a 1019 for a long time, this would simplify a lot.
rolojack Posted November 2, 2014 Author Report Posted November 2, 2014 One of my fav vintage rolexes. Been considering the yuki kit but they don't have the lug holes and the wrong size. Would you be offering dials too? The dial and caseback are from the Yuki kit. Only the midcase is custom ! Yuki's midcase is trash : very thick and totally unlike the gen. Mine is certaily not a Phong, but it does the job allright.
ww12345 Posted January 12, 2015 Report Posted January 12, 2015 +1. Thought I'd expressed interest before, but looked back through and didn't see anything.
bangalter Posted January 20, 2015 Report Posted January 20, 2015 If it's not too late, please sign me up for one.
droptopman Posted January 21, 2015 Report Posted January 21, 2015 Here too interested if not too late. Sent from my droptop using telepathy.
rolojack Posted January 21, 2015 Author Report Posted January 21, 2015 Actually, I'm having trouble getting what I want from the maker...... At this point, I'm about to give up ! If I do, I'll get rid of the prototype pictured in this post, so watch out the sales area !!!!
