Thank you for your advices.

They ask me for $ 220 but I doubt whether to buy the 1500 or wait for a 5500 good price and buy it

Hi, I have the opportunity to buy a full Rolex 1500 gen box, I think I could use it to make a 5500 Explorer ...
I have read in several places that the problem of this compilation is how difficult it is to adjust the glass "plexi" to the case...

they think it's a good option?

thanks and best regards.

If you're asking me, I bought a set of WSO 455's as well. The 580's fit better with the case I used (gen 16014) and allowed for the Aussie springbars which I believe were a bit thicker.

I have asked WSO the 580, when the bracelet arrives and in the final link we will see if there are problems.

I've decided on a rivet bracelet
I have asked Riyi for a rivet bracelet, it comes with the end link 455,
I have to get a 580 endlink so it fits well?

It is a beautiful piece! what beauty of dial 😍

Typical for a 1016 is an oyster, but all three will work- rivet is early, oyster later and jubilee is the most rare. Rafflesdials is fine for bracelets

Mag for watchmakers can run up to 10x. 3.5x might not be strong enough for really close work. 

my dial is "only Swiss" from the transition period 1964/65 for this date the correct bracelet would be a Rivet or a Jubilee (if I'm not wrong)

to the glasses with light you can add lenses with more magnification.

thank you very much for your help

I used Mary's 7836 with WSO 580's on mine.

Your work is spectacular! I like all three oysters 😍
Who is Mary's? WSO I think it's an ebay store
thank you very much for your help.

what bracelet and what endlink would you put?

A rivet, an oyster or a jubilee?

How about the rivet of raffles?

Dial interesante, ¿de dónde sacaste eso? 

Parece que estás listo para un par de gafas de lectura. Yo uso 3.50s para el trabajo del reloj, 1.75s para la lectura. Pero empecé a usar lectores cuando tenía 42 años.

thank you very much, the dial is from Helenarou (all the pieces are bought in 2014).

I bought a watchmaker's glasses with led light and graduation from +1 to +3.5.
the next assembly of a rejoj I will realize it more comfortably :)

hello, this is my first oyster project 😅
these are the pieces that I have compiled, they are adjusted in budget but I think it can look good...

first assembly without crown because the stem is very long and I have to cut it
I had trouble putting the needles (my eyes get worse with age ) Also leave without putting the screws that hold the movement to the box ...

any advice is welcome

Hello, I have a medium-term project in mind, I want to make an exhibition case (museum style) with the homage of the 8 most iconic watches of the Oyster brand.
What 8 "vintage" models would you put?

The 1016 and the datejust for now I think they are essential.
Of the models of submariners or sailors I do not know which one to choose.

I wait for your lists

This is my list 

1 OYSTER PERPETUAL (I do not know which model to choose)
2 DATEJUST (the 16233 because I find it easier to mount it)
3 EXPLORER (1016 jobs in progress)
4 SUBMARINER (5514 COMEX)
5 GMT-MASTER (I do not know which model to choose)
6 MILGAUSS (I do not know which model to choose)
7 DAYTONA (now I have an alpha daytona)
8 SEA-DWELLER (1665 'Double Red')

What parts or complete watch to later change parts advise me for the 5514 and the DR 1665 (as I want to make 8 watches I do not want them to be very expensive)

Thank you for your help
