Kime Posted January 8, 2015 Report Share Posted January 8, 2015 Wow ... and that is some spectacular dial aging... any tips? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolojack Posted January 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 Wow ... and that is some spectacular dial aging... any tips? For both dial and hands it's a mix of brown china ink and waterbased felts. Then, revarnish the whole plate to fix the color and create the texture.

rolojack Posted January 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 I like to think so too. Aged but not damaged !!! Simply weathered by the UVs and handeling from past overhauls.... as any gen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1680 Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 I thought about this particular mod a few times I think we even had a chat about this. At the moment my Explorer is perfectly watertight and I am afraid I could loose that. But it looks sooo good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texan Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 What size is the case? 36mm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcotter Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 keister, Your best resource for a nice 1016 build is JMB ,very active on this forum & a gentleman to boot...That's your best bet! Best, mcotter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IAN2109 Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 Just measured it with my new calipers! The diameter of this case including crown is 38mm. The crown is a gen 600, so not sure what diameter this makes the case.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IAN2109 Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 Just been looking at "Vintage Rolex Sports Models" by Martin Skeet/ Nick Ural. Gives the case diameter of the 1016 as 35.5mm..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lhooq Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 I measure almost exactly 36mm without the crown. You don't include the crown when you measure case diameter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
