1665 case source

[TheNewt]

Hi
I am looking for a source to build a 1665. Aside from a $1450 case from Phong- does anyone know where to source one?
BTW Yuki said the case is discontinued.
Thank you.

May be ruby case? I don't know. Hers looks good. But no thin case. Phong have thin case, but may be something wrong and above 1000USD. MQ also is a good choice.but i can't find different ruby to mq. May be mq is better..

Thank you.

If you can do some reshaping, you could start with the JK 1665. It would save you a lot of money. It won’t fit the Rolex 1570 movement though. The old MBW 1665 will, if you can find one.

Hi. I can reshape. Where do I get a JK? Thank you.

Any of the trusted dealers here on the forum should be able to get them. They are the best vintage Rolex out at the moment. JK factory.
