irate03 Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 I got a rep to build with but it sadly doesn't have drilled lugs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmb Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 I got a rep to build with but it sadly doesn't have drilled lugs. That's easily remedied... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 Another 1016! Wow. Nice. Endlink's appear to fit nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
preacher62 Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 (edited) It seems like 1016 day on RWG. If true...this is a grand day. Here's one just like yours (except for scratches on crystal, now polished out) only J furnished the case, bezel, bracelet and lug drilling and I put it together. Swiss ETA 2824. Clark crystal and hands. You learn to love your 36mm Rolexes!!! Edited October 13, 2012 by preacher62 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dieselpower Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 I love 1016's and these builds are making me green with envy. I have a question, Why use eta 2824 movements? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
preacher62 Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 I love 1016's and these builds are making me green with envy. I have a question, Why use eta 2824 movements? This particular case, that JMB gets his hands on, is made for the 2824. This makes it a good 1016 candidate as it is a little slimmer with the stem height right for the case. He will sell you one with the lugs already drilled...by him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dieselpower Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 @ preacher62. Thanks for that, most informative and of course, makes complete sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irate03 Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 That's easily remedied... I don't have access to a bench mounted drill or similar at the moment. unless you have a trick to share Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iwc3 Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 There is nothing I like more than a 1016. I'm new to this, and a 1016 has got to be in my future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmille24 Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 If anyone is looking to sell. Please PM me. Would love to own one of these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue. Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 Congrats, Zeleni. That is a nice Explorer. How do you feel about the "Swiss Made" on the MBW dial? I personally had some doubts about my MBW Explorer ("Swiss Made" tag) at the beginning but as soon as the watch arrived it felt good enough to no longer bother about this really minor discrepancy. Wear it often and in good health Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panerai153 Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 Beautiful build, That J boy can build those 1016's. You are right about the thin case Rolexes, they just sort of "Disappear " on your wrist. my 16750 is like that,Sometimes I have to check my wrist to see if it's still there!
