rolojack Posted November 1, 2014 Report Share 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 Share 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 ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seafoam Posted November 1, 2014 Report Share Posted November 1, 2014 Crown position is a bit low but agreed, for that price range not bad! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolojack Posted November 1, 2014 Author Report Share 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+.....

Bc1221 Posted November 2, 2014 Report Share 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogladio Posted November 2, 2014 Report Share Posted November 2, 2014 Sign me up! Have been thinking about doing a 1019 for a long time, this would simplify a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolojack Posted November 2, 2014 Author Report Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rolojack Posted January 21, 2015 Author Report Share 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 !!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
