CptTripps Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 That's a great watch. I started mine building a Space Dweller, but I'm going to swap the dial out for a normal 1016 once I get Whoopy's in.Surly a classy watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Ezel Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 The case dosent look that much polished! Wonder way the springbars are poping out like that! Is that gen springbars or aftermarket? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmb Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 They are "Sub" springbars and usually need to be shortened a bit. The "explorer" springbars have tips that are shorter. Jules Borel used to carry them but after I had a bunch of them on backorder for over a year I got a message that they were NLA... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought something was wrong here, well he can always file down the aub springbars to the right lenght. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1680 Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 But (!) it's not unusual. You will find genuine 1016 Explorers with these long Sub springbars (23-9291), it seems that some watchmakers don't know the others exist or simply don't have them in stock and therefore use the wrong springbars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CptTripps Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 The dial got jacked up last night when I botched a re-lume job, but here's my 1016 Space Dweller. (Yes, I know that's the wrong bracelet...working on that too.)The build started with a 16200 case, used a Clark crystal, aftermarket bezel, Gen 1560 Butterfly out of a 1401, Gen 5513 hands, and an Ingod44 dial.I should have the new dial this weekend, and plan on re-luming the hands to match the dial.::: Man...that's the worst pic I've taken of a watch in a long time! ::: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1680 Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 (edited) Jesus, when did this ad come out? Notice the pricepoint? According to the picture it should be from 1964-'69, so that means a price of $1300 ($1400 with bracelet). However I wonder about that price, I've found older models with a hangtag that says $335. And you have to keep in mind that this was from a time when Rolex was not such a stupid brand it is now, they made tool watches that even craftsmen could afford (if they saved the money ).

CptTripps Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 what hands did you use here? Gen hands from a 5513. I re-lumed them because the patina wasn't even on all three. I'll be re-doing the dial and hands this weekend. I've learned a few things about the right way to lime hands, so I'll be able to do a better job this time around.
