beautiful!!! I had one and I miss it dearly

holy moly! Good stuff.

She's a beaut! Nice pick up. I prefer this over a matte dial (but I'm weird like that )

Wear it in good health, bud.

nice! I have a gen case and same yuki dial that I have been meaning to piece together. Only thing holding me back is sourcing a crown. This thread may have reignited the flame behind my rear to source the parts I need.

Wow! What a beaut. Definitely worthy of a see through caseback.

Awesome info! Thanks for sharing

White SpaceDweller? Now that I would like to see! Is this that diy transfer thingy-ma-bob?

Drilled looks great!

Thank you! For the price, the Yuki dial isn't bad at all. I had a hard time deciding on the matte or gloss, gilt or monochrome and white or aged yellow lume. I'd probably build another later if I find decently priced parts

More importantly, what case are you putting this in and what watch are you building? The stem heights are different.

Crown looks good! Is that a Puretime case?

Nice collection!

Thanks for the kind comments everybody!

Mendota, Alligoat, Lhooq's SpaceDweller and I used genuine 1601 Datejust cases (with JMB bezels) for these builds.

Nice! Can't wait to see it cased up

The slightly raised lume on yours is the finishing touch The only thing that bothers me on these cases is the pin hole spring bar holes but that is definitely something that I overlook

Thanks lhooq! Means a lot coming from the 1016 king

It took me a week to decide on which dial from Yuki I was going to buy. I decided on a yellow patina'd "white" Submariner 1680 dial for my 1680 project and this monochrome service dial looking dial for the 1016. With the number of case sets JMB sold, I am sure plenty more 1016 threads will pop up soon (I hope!). I can stare at those threads all day long.

I have a oyster problem.. I am addicted to them. So far in my watchbox I have a Seiko SARB033, franken Tudor Day-Date, franken Tudor 74000, franken Rolex 5500, 1680 & this 1601 that I converted into a 1016. Thanks to lhooq for inspiring me with his many threads for 1016's (especially the SPACE DWELLER build ). This one here is powered by a recently serviced swiss ETA2824.
 Special thanks to JMB for the JMB bezel. Couldn't have completed this project without this piece.







and a wristie:

Awesome work!!! The finishing touch to a impressive case set.

Stop feeding the troll!

Wow! Looks excellent! I wish I could pull off a gold Day Date. I'm surprised the case took the tube without re-tapping.

Yes, I completely agree. :wavey:

Yes. I believe it is a 703 rep with gen spec threading.

Would a TC crown screw right on to the rep tube on this case?

Nice score!
