Rolex 1016 Explorer- the rolo modified 16000 case

[rolojack]

Here is a modified 16000 case to do a 1016 build. This case was in great original condition, so I did not touch the bezel or the caseback as recreating these perfectly flat surfaces is impossible with my gear.... So the work was on the midcase here: relocation of the lugholes, modification of the lugs shape, reshaping of the case into a tonneau shape on the crown side and careful erasing of the ref number only to leave place for a nice 1016 engraving under the original Registered Design. I am looking forward to see this watch completed !

Stunning! Sure to be a great build.

Thank you so much!

That's amazing and will be a great full Gen build.

Last thing I allocated is Gen 1016 bezel, in combination with domed T22 crystal and stern dial.. Gem is coming.
