1016 Build which ETA Movement

[sly]

Hi Guys,

Which ETA Movement is more proper for a 1016 which mimics or close to the original movement specs. 2836 or 2846. JMB is helping me build a 1016 using one of his cases and bezel and adding a Yuki Dial to complete it.

Thank you always for all the nice helpful people on this forum.

beat-wise the 2846 will be more correct.

SD is right, I would go with the 2846 because it runs at 21600 beats per hour vs the 2824/2836 at 28800 bph.

Genuine 1016 runs at 18000 bph on earlier models and 19800 bph on later models so the 2846 at 21600 bph is close enough.

There is a lot of info on 1016 projects in past posts so you can save time and $$ by reading them before you start.

A partial list of what you need:

Case:

1016 explorer replica

DJ replica

Genuine rolex 16000/16200 DJ etc

Bore lug holes out to accept 1016 springbars if there is enough metal around the original holes.

The case neck needs to be 29.5mm to accept oem spec crystals.

Crowns:

6mm OD rolex or replica on either standard 6mm case tube or late model 6mm rolex crown made to fit 5.3mm tube.

Some replica cases have 6mm case tubes and some have 5.3mm case tubes.

Genuine 16000 etc will have 6mm tube.

Genuine 16200 etc will have 5.3mm tube.

note:

Earlier genuine rolex 16000 etc cases have 6.0mm case tubes and came with acrylic crystals but the dial and movement will not fit the same as in a 16200 etc case because the 3035 that came in 16000 etc cases is about .4mm taller from the center of the stem to the top of the dial surface than the 3135 that came in 16200 etc cases.

Crystal:

1016 crystal = rolex 22 or equivalent such as GS PA464-64C with 1016 size bezel.

You may use a rolex 21 or equivalent when using standard rolex DJ bezel (rolex 21 is made for rolex no date 1018).

16000 etc steel cases have acrylic crystals.

16200 etc steel cases have sapphire crystals.

GS PA crystals start on page 100:

Hands:

Aft/mkt or gennuine hands for later model tudor submariner.

Bezel:

1016 spec bezel with rolex 22 crystal

smooth DJ spec bezel with rolex 21 crystal

When using Eta movement, Stilty probably has adapters to make the Eta fit in a DJ 16200 etc spec case. It's a pain without the adapter.

What automatico said. Excellent summary!

Cool, Thanks for all the Information. That will do it for this build.

The 16000 case crystals have a date cyclops. Would the Tropic 21 fit a 16000 case? If not what crystal, sans cyclops, would fit a 16000 case?
