Having read all the 1016 builds as well as 5500 builds...i've been meaning to pull a victor frankenstein myself too. However it seems insurmountable, trying to procure all the parts like UBI does I was reading how the 5500 explorer is nigh 100% the same as the 5500 airking save the dial (which is impossible to procure of course) I came upon a 1016 gen dial and was wondering if there's something similar i could do with it. From my rolex ref books, i gathered that the movement the 1016 comes with is either a 1565, 1570 or 1575. Is there an old datejust that has these similar specs? If so, it'd be a simple drop-in-dial frankie! I suspect not, coz otherwise UBI wouldn't have gone about pulling off his blockbuster build? Alas unlike him i'm a mere mortal I'm not asking for 99% similarity. I'm happy with just 65% =P
