Hi guys.
I'm just a newbie who just wrote some newbic questions for a few times.
But those stupid questions are answered by friendly experts of this forum and thanks to that, I could complete my 1016 build.
It was just sudden that I just fall in love with 1016 although I didn't even know if there is a watch like that before I enter this forum.
I took a look at 1016 pics around this forum and google, I wanted to have both leather and folded 7836 bracelet.
My 1016 build spec is as follows.
Case - JMB
Crown - Rep provided with JMB case set
Crystal - provided with JMB case set
Dial - Yuki
Hands - Yuki
Movement - Clone 2824(Seagull)
Bracelet - Josh
JMB was communicative and he is the one who answered my noob question for the most of the time. I appreciate that Justin.
PM him if you want to inquire any good quality case for datejust or exlporer.

I'm not sure Yuki's dial and hands are correct enough but I can guarantee that they are well made with sharp&vivid printings.
Lume is not bad but not superb neither. I'm saying maybe because I compared my 1016 to seiko divers which has super hyper bright lume

Seagull 2824 clone movement has very beautiful decorations which is always good to have. I've heard they are reliable if I give it a good service regulary as most of other eta clone movement.

Bracelet from josh has good quality and I have some good news for you guys which is not the happiest news for me.
I bought the bracelet from josh and I proceeded my purchasing of Aussy spring bars and WSO 580 endlinks because I've heard they fits well with jmb case.
Moreover, I heard that endlink of josh's bracelet doesnt fit well with jmb case.
So I odered bracelet from josh and also ordered wso580 endlinks and aussie spring bars.
However, Josh's bracelet came to me earlier(actually I didn't even received spring bars and 580 endlinks yet. I'm in South Korea which is close to hongkong) and I found that they have really good fitting with jmb enhanced case.
It fits without any modification and I just cannot find any unbalanced point. it just fits good.

Very good!

Oh I didn't realized thry r different from each other. I already made my order and it is 580 for 78360 as it says. Will it going to be okay with Josh's 7836? And is it the one for fat spring bars?

Anyone tried this out?

Can I use this? I'm newbie and want to hear some words from you guys who r experts. For me it is 2mm and for 20mm rug . The shape of it looks similar to those which r used for 1016 bracelets.
Or, I ordered folded bracelet from josh. Does it have fine spring bars?
-
Yh I guess I had to contact you JMB but it was too late unfortunately...
I said WHO which is ridiculous(have know idea why I said WHO but I mean WSO lol)
I may try to source 580 from him then.
Thanks guys for replies!
-
WHO is well known here and I know that. However, What I'm wondering is negative feedbacks about him. Sending a wrong item can be disastrous as delivery costs more than the product itself for me here in South Korea.
So I researched a bit to find alternative seller and what I found is Amazon seller from Australia
What do you guys think? Is there anyone who tried this out?

I have the same problem here. it doesn't winds but i don't think mine has broken mainspring as it doesn't winds but it springs back the crown. Let me write abt how it went through on mine later. I will do some mods as well(gen plexi and bezel).

Hi and welcome. You can get this: http://www.torobravos2014.com/index.php?route=product/category&path=37_142
Borrowed Pic- handwound from Toro
Needs to be modded by a pro: Relume with Superluminova C3+C1, Gen Plexi, and 6 o'clock hand freeze.
Or the quartz with plexi, better spacing, wrong lettering, depends on the use You will give to it
. Solid watch, engraved caseback.
For the date option You need to choose another Omega model. Good luck
Hey the pics of mechanical movmnt one with no dome that you just used are mine! haha I posted it last year at the other forum(RWG-replica watch guide)

if you follow the links, there are prices of each items. So sum them all by yourself. The total build price will differ by where you live as I spent a lot to carriers this time.
