I had a very cheap 1016 dial that already had some minor damage and had been sitting around for a long time, so I decided to try and build a "vintage" or "aged" 1016. The hands came from an Ofrei multi-piece kit, and the crown is gen from an old DJ. Bracelet is a generic rep with light steel wool distressing. The case is JMB's with a T21 "superdome." I asked him to distress the case, and it was absolutely gorgeous upon arrival. I took a little bit of light steel wool to top of the lugs and by complete accident scratched the crystal, but it actually ended up adding some character that fit the look. JMB's custom bezel is really gorgeous so I tried to not touch that. His craftsmanship in general is always first class, so even lightly distressing the case made me feel some guilt. I know the "aged" or "vintage" look is not for everyone, but I wanted to give it a try just to see how it would turn out. The aging of the dial and hands is a mix of methods found both on this forum and others. Please let me know what you think or if you have any tips. Thanks!!
