mead861 Posted June 19, 2020 Report Share Posted June 19, 2020 I'm looking to purchase a star time Rolex case. I registered as a new user but I don't have a business so I can't make a purchase. Does anyone know how I can buy one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted June 20, 2020 Report Share Posted June 20, 2020 I heard that if you join NAWCC- National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors- Startime will let you make purchases. It like $30 a year or so to join. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mead861 Posted June 29, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2020 I joined NAWCC. It was $80 a year and they have some pretty cool stuff like a museum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtools Posted June 29, 2020 Report Share Posted June 29, 2020 Have you tried again to order from Startime? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mead861 Posted June 29, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2020 yes, I had to give them my NAWCC number Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
occb2 Posted July 16, 2020 Report Share Posted July 16, 2020 I have a few if you need one. I am guessing you are talking about the 16610 case? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidcreole Posted December 14, 2020 Report Share Posted December 14, 2020 I got a few of these recently. What do you think besides the fat lugs and stubby crown guards? I think they're a lot better than the earlier ones. Apologies for the threadjack consider it a bump 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
occb2 Posted December 14, 2020 Report Share Posted December 14, 2020 It is an amazing replacement case. Sterile. You can fix a lot of the sharpness with having the case worked. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidcreole Posted December 14, 2020 Report Share Posted December 14, 2020 What can you do with the stubby lugs? To be fair I haven’t placed a crown in position to get perspective as I’m moving house and needed to pack it away. Maybe it isn’t that bad?

alligoat Posted December 14, 2020 Report Share Posted December 14, 2020 The only thing you can do is file down the tube seat between the lugs, but that will only get you a mm or two. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alligoat Posted December 17, 2020 Report Share Posted December 17, 2020 I filed down the seat between the lugs on a cartel 5513 with the stubby crown guards- it worked out ok. I installed a 702 crown and tube and it's been a great beater- the a21j has hung in there for 4-5 years now. [URL=https://imageshack.com/i/plRWN4Daj][IMG]https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/xq90/921/RWN4Da.jpg[/IMG][/URL] I examined my gen 16800 and 16610 (R serial) and the crown guards aren't that long. I also looked at my 16800 franken with the ST 3035 case and those CGs are also somewhat short but not noticeably shorter than my two gen subs. Installing a gen 703 crown also helps since the gen crowns are typically thinner than the rep crowns. But alas, it tough to find gen used crowns at a reasonable price these days. 10-15 years ago you could find gen crowns for $30-50 used. gen 16800 [URL=https://imageshack.com/i/poX7aUJcj][IMG]https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/xq90/924/X7aUJc.jpg[/IMG][/URL] franken 16800 with ST3035 case [URL=https://imageshack.com/i/poyvK48pj][IMG]https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/xq90/924/yvK48p.jpg[/IMG][/URL] 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long time no speak bud, but since you posted this would you mind pm'ing me to discuss ? I am looking for a decent case to build a sub (5512/13/17 1680, 16610). I have access to the ST cases but am leary of the crown guards... Thanks, Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
