I always insure mine as "horological parts", I don't like putting "watch" on the paperwork, trigger for thieves and customs.

Woot! Looks like I am going to have to re-case my 1016! Can you do custom serials on request?

I have an AP with the same problem. I bought a really nice strap for mine that I can't even use due to stuck lugs.

And let me add, that the watch I bought from you was the most well packaged article that I have ever purchased from ANYWHERE. A++++ Would do business again

It's nice to see the response to feedback, this is finally a Sub-C worth modding. Would be a great base for a frankenwatch.

How much modifying to the case did it take to get the movement fitted?

The Gunny Deep Red strap would look great on a 1016. I have one on my sub.

Justin you are the 1016 hero!

Thank you sir, PM sent! You have been a lifesaver on a few of my projects now!

Gentleman, I have slowly been improving on my old PT 1665. I have replaced the crown, bought a new case with drilled lugs, etc. I am on the hunt for a good bezel and a decent "vintage" insert and good pearl. Does anyone have any recommendations on these parts?

Might check with JMB, I have purchased ETA movement holders from him before, the brass type similar to the Raffles movement holders. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Movement-Ring-for-ETA-2836-or-others-that-fit-Size-2-/390892623612?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5b030416fc

I bought mine from Athaya through fleabay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/171641394431

That's one of my favorite combinations. I think Explorers look great on jubilees. Gen jubilee on this one here.

My chapter ring silver dial swiss engine in a 16010 gen case with all gen parts, minus tudor hands. added a white gold bezel

The tip about the seconds hand was spot on, fixed (2) Black Bays that were dragging the seconds hand. Run like tops now!

I have (1) Whoopy 1016 dial available for sale. I bought two for a project and ended up only using one. One of the feet came loose, but I still have the foot, and it should be easy to epoxy back on to the dial or solder if you are brave.

Thanks for confirming this, i have two that are exhibiting the same behavior and i suspected that the seconds hand was touching the crystal at around 1-2 o clock. Now I know its an easy fix!

He or someone who know him has posted here before. There was a big thread about it a while back.

Does anyone know where I can get a set of rep end links for a Royal Oak 15400? I am dying to get a nice hornback strap on my Royal Oak, but the only option I can find is the AP Straps kit, and I am not shelling out 500.00 bones for end links.

This man speaks wisdom. I built three of my last projects with ST2130's that I got a killer deal on. They run, wind, and keep time as well as any of my ETA pieces do.

Yes sir, it sure was. I sent two items out at the same time, one item I sold to a gentleman in Taiwan, and the other was a broken Black Bay to China and it never made it. The other one to Taiwan made it just fine. If I would have known a rep friendly watchsmith at the time it would have gone to him. Now that I know. Misekped and use his services, I have no reason to send one back again. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk

That would drive me absolutely crazy!

Which dealer did this one come from? Looks great!

I have a few Ted Su straps and while they are on the pricy side of things, the quality is awesome.
