Hi gents,
Want to share with you my 1016 build.
It took a long way as I collected and chased parts for more than a year and a half.
Great thanks to Rolojack for amazing advices and case reshaping!
A bit of history.. I fell in love with early 1016's. Chapter ring..gilt dial..underline..
That's a dream unfortunately unachievable for now..
I made my first one 1016 2 years ago out of 16000 case, gen 1570 movement, Yukki dial and hands, Clark crystal, JMB bezel.
That was okay for the first try, but nothing was right there..
This time I tried to make as close as possible full Gen Explorer.
Specs:
Gen 16014 case amazingly reshaped by Rolojack.
Gen 16000 caseback
Gen 1575 movement.
Gen 1016 "Stern" Dial
Gen Sub hands(they where sold to me as Explorer hands on VRM, minute hand shorter than should be..)
Gen T22 Domed crystal.
Gen Bezel(outer diameter is half mm smaller than should be..have no idea why, inner diameter is perfect to fit T22)
Gen 78350 bracelet with 558B endlinks.
Gen 600 crown
Proper springbars to be added!
Here are some pics:
Please tell me what do you think guys!
Thank you,
BP
