rolojack Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 Here is my latest 1016 built for a fellow member. Not final as it is lacking its caseback and the clasp, but aside from that.... Well: you guys can tell! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IAN2109 Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 More magic from RJ, well done!! My interest is vintage rolex sports, and the 1016 is my favourite. This one looks great, such a slim and elegant profile! I don't know about everyone else but I love looking at RJ's watches. He's also great to deal with, very helpful, reliable and always delivers on what he says. A real asset to our forum and a great member! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lhooq Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 It's staggering to see how far the 1016 franken has come in the past few months. Fantastic work! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blue. Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 Meticulously executed details and surface finish. Great job RoloJack! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolojack Posted March 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 And it all started with the first step of your journey, M! Note this is only possible with your "old" version of caseset.... So please keep making them ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmb Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 Unfortunately the "old" cases with the 18k stamp on the back of one lug are no longer available. The cases I've been getting for the past several months have no 18k stamping but unfortunately, for you anyway, the "dimples" are a bit higher on the lug. But, being higher makes it easier for me to relocate the holes... I have begged for cases before the lug dimples were made and have been told that unless I wanted to order a huge batch no changes could be made.

I have begged for cases before the lug dimples were made and have been told that unless I wanted to order a huge batch no changes could be made. The cases I have modded so far never had the 18k stamp on the mid case, just the backcase. So, this means you had 3 types right? 18k stamped, the ones I used and your "enhanced" version. The one I can't use is the latest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmb Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 The newer/later cases will take up to a 29mm dial, I don`t think the ones you need won`t. I don`t think so, anyway, but I could be mistaken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
