freddy333 Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 Anyone have a spare gen 160xx DJ caseback or know if any of our collectors' DJ casebacks will fit a gen case? I am working on another frankenjust, but I seem to have misplaced (lost) the caseback Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
llsteve80 Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 Soon, I'll be getting a rep DJ 16200 with the shitinerand engraved back on it, those supposedly fit so I'll try it on a gen case and let you know if it works. I guess thats not much help since I don't have an extra one, but maybe you'll know what to look for/not to look for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w.genzo Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 If it works, there's a gen 16200 caseback only on the bay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir-Lancelot Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 Freddy, I have one that is marked 16200. It was from the newer turn-o-graph replica. If it will help you, it's yours. Edit to add that it's not the one above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once I know the rep back fits the gen case, I can try to locate a spare rep back or just order a rep watch (for the back). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir-Lancelot Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 Or you could take the free one that I offered you above. That would help alot.

stilty Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 The 16200 will not fit 16014. Different gasket set up and threading. The gasket sits on the case back for the 16014, and the gasket sits on the case for the 16200. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone comes across 1, please PM me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir-Lancelot Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 He is right, I just looked at it and the gasket is in the case not on the case back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
llsteve80 Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 Freddy, the monarch Polfy doesn't fit the 160xx. But there's a buy it now case on ebay right now for $140 with no bezel or crystal, you can probably re-list the bare case and get at least 50-75 for it. So you'd be paying 70-90 for the back, still less than a whole rep: Item 270239848149 http://cgi.ebay.com/Original-Rolex-16014-S...1QQcmdZViewItem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I purchased a caseback for $85. This seller is great with fast free EMS shipping from Taiwan. Who knows, the mid case might even be in better condition then the one you have. It is worth buying, especially since it is available. Who knows when you will find another. Always hit and miss with parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted May 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 Ok, I am convinced. Sold & thank you (all) for the input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
llsteve80 Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 No problem, now, can we see the dial you're using on that? It looks like a 16030 SS bezel right? I'm thinking of going that route in the near future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking of going that route in the near future I had originally planned to use a gold linen dial that had been sitting in my parts box for a few years. But that dial was in pretty poor condition, so I ended up selling it. Now that I will have 2 cases to choose from (the original 16013 that is pictured at the top of the thread & the just-purchased 16014), I guess I have a bit more latitude with dials. My main requirement for this gen dial is that it fits the specs for 1 of these cases & is relatively inexpensive (less than $100). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
