Sources for Cases

[RobinMasters]

There are lots of sources for hands, dials, movements, crowns etc, but there seem to be very few suppliers of cases (doesn't help that when you put 'watch cases' into Google it gives you boxes for storing watches in :cyclops: ).

So, can anyone recommend a supplier?

Not sure what sort of volumes you are after, if you are after a one off, this guy can make you a case to order:

I have used him for some repairs on cases and he is good.

If you are after several it might be worth getting in touch with these guys:

I guess that most 'cheap' cases are made in china these days, like most things... :(

This ebay seller has a few cases

There are quite a few other case suppliers on the bay as well

Thanks for the links.

I was looking for one case. Not sure what I want exactly, but I'm not too keen on the Sub or nav-b style cases.

Yobokies has some. Also, Roland Kemmner.

I didn't know Kemmner sold parts; he's got a couple of nice cases there.

How do you order of Roland Kemmner? or do you just have to wait until he has them on his ebay pages?

There's a website: https://sites.google.com/site/rolandkemmner/ with his email address.

I've just sent him an email so I'll see how it goes.

He can be a bit 'curt', busy guy I guess. But very professional and will supply some parts.

Does anyone have experience with the Swiss made time cases/kits on eBay? Specifically the submariner one. All Swiss made, stainless and water resistant to 200 mm.

Any good sources for 33 mm quality lume dials?
