rolojack Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 Here is a new 1016, probably the only one combining this shape with a gasket groove..... And also the trickiest assignment I ever had as the case was hand modified before me getting involved and totally assymetrical !!!! Very hard to tune the machine. But well: end result isn't that bad at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blue. Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 (edited) Tasty That groove for the gasket and Rolo's "signature lip" are the ticket, as a personal side note. Very nice craftsmanship! Both RoloJack and JMB deserve the praise for these 1016 case mod projects. We need someone to lathe the gasket groove on upcoming case projects, JMB, Rolojack? There is more than enough "meat" on the midcase to allow a clean gasket groove to be cut with a lathe in order to accept the stock gasket and result in a gen construction. These are the watchmaker lathe tools for the job (the right one in the middle). Edited April 21, 2015 by blue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
