Hello guys,

As someone here might know - I am a big fan of vintage watches. I have the most common watches such as 1665, 5512 and 5514 with mid size caseback.

Recently tripdog did a great job of reshaping the 5514 case and making my comex project completed!

I can never hold my tracks and enjoy what I have for too long before my mind automatically drifts away and starts thinking what's going to be next...

My next project will be either 1665 MK2 thin case or 5514 with big numbers. I am leaning more towards 5514 with big numbers however I bumped into this issue of finding correct case back for this watch. All the TD's I checked had nothing what I wanted hence it's making it very difficult to source correct part.

Thinking outside the box would be potentially buying plain caseback from Phong and then engrave the big numbers somewhere else however I don't know anyone who would do such job as they will say no as soon as they hear 'Rolex'.

Does anyone know where to get such caseback or is it pretty much impossible to do?

Many thanks in advance!

I also attatch picture of example so you know what I am on about :D

He hasn’t logged in here for a while. He’s my buddy. I’ll send him an email with the link to this post.
