Bond 6538a

[krustybrand]

That's a great deal if it is in good shape.

...but it won't fit this case (if you think you can use it on your WM or MBW Bond). The problem is that the current tube is set too far posteriorly, and if you try to drill out a larger hole and re-tap it for the 8mm crown tube you will not be able to reinstall the case-back.

Curses.

Can someone tell me where I can find a Rolex Submariner 6538 thick case to fit a 1030 movement? Any aftermarket manufacturers out there? I have all the other components just need a case, though at this point I would consider just about anything. I have combed the internet to no avail. Perhaps I should just catch a flight to China!!

thanks in advance

Have you tried ND Trading

they have some nice third party cases.

Watchmaster, but it is the same as the one from MBW.

MBW makes a no CG vintage sub?????? Who and where do I go to buy it?

I've seen them... Save your money. If you want a good no-CG Sub, you'll have to build one. My advice is to start with one of Paul's old vintage Subs with the thin case and grind off the CGs to start. It's sort of a Grail in the rep biz.

I recognize that crystal profile...

After market T19 from Helfands on theBay.
