I originally set out to build a Tudor DayDate after being inspired by Jerkstores build-a-long frankenjust guides, But fell in the love with the 1016 after reading the many threads, especially LHOOQ and 1680's Vintage 1016 build projects.
I was lucky enough to snatch up a Whoopy dial which is gorgeous by the way and the catalyst for this build.
I won't say much more cause I'm a noob but would like to thank JMB and anyone else who helped my nooby PMs
Feel free to make any suggestions for improvements. I couldn't wait for the bracelet to come so quickly made a leather strap to wear it before I ship her off to get lumed.
