just had my tss strap

wow! great project, respect! i wish i could do this myself

lhooq, i do have small wrists. which model of timefactors do you mean? dou you prefer 18 or 20mm for the 1016 ?

thank you! thats the kind i was looking for, also found the same style from tss, quality looks better.

i was actually looking for a black one with black rings but cant find it, doesnt matter if its more expensive

i am looking for a good quality nato in black for my 1016, any tips or suggestions where to buy?

after a week of wear, i am still very satisfied! especially about the ETA, keeps time very well. With my gen datejust and 114270 i always have a difference of +/- 2min after a few days. Funny thing is all my friends think its a gen, even when i tell them its not they think i am joking. today i also found out something funny about my bracelet, it says 114270 and 16628, endlinks 455B. I thought maybe its a rep of the 114270 bracelet but on my gen 114270 there are no numbers on the bracelet,even not on the endlinks??

but can you take the screws out to take off some links?

thank you for your time and help !

thank you all! question? i am looking for a riveted bracelet but can somebody tell me if you can take the links out because i have small wrists.

well i guess i can say i have a "famous" watch.......

Wow! This is indeed the guy who i bought the watch from......

Thanx, but thats to difficult for me at this time maybe after a lot of reading here i will have the guts to experiment with my watch, i also have to do some study about how to change a dial and buy some good tools for the job. Does anybody have tips where to buy tools?

Thanx you all! i prefer the riveted because i think(i am not sure if you can take the pens out like a normal bracelet) you can take some links out then because i have very small wrists, i think with the folded you can only adjust on the clasp.correct me if i am wrong?

After a lot of reading here i finally found a nice 1016, this was on my wannahave list for a long time! Funny thing is i own several gen rolex watches and was looking for a gen 1016 but just on purpose i found this cool website and a whole rep world opened for me! ofcourse i knew the cheap chinese reps that you see people selling on the corners when you are on holiday but i didnt heard about real fanatics who build the finest reps and frankens like you guys. Like is said my search started to find a gen 1016 but what i learned is that with vintage you can never be sure its all real, even in the higher price range(almost all without documentation) Then i found the stories of jmb and lhooq about the nice 1016s they build and their knowhow, ofcourse i asked jmb if he can build me one but unfortunately he didnt had the time. lhooq advised me to buy the mbk version from narikaa but contact with him went very difficult. Then somebody here from the forum offered me this nice piece that jmb builded, i sended the pics to the lhooq and jmb and they both gave me the green light to go for it! Here are the specs: jmb case, mbk dial(but both were not sure about this), clarks crystal, drilled lug holes, jmb custom Bezel, eta 2824. Only thing i want to change is the bracelet, i prefer the riveted 7206 but couldnt find anyone selling it(yuki is not selling it anymore), if somebody has one please let me know;) or maybe i go for a black nato. Also i like the gilt dials but i am not that handy to change it myself, or maybe vintaging this dial? jmb and lhooq! thanx again for your time and help!
