junbug5150 Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 Hey everyone, So my wife mentioned that she really liked my 1016 I got from Stan quite sometime ago. Since then I've parted with it and been wanting to get another, but instead decided to build a pair: one for her and one for me. Months and months of parts sourcing has finally led to this. Her's is complete, just in time for Mother's Day Let me know what you think. Specs: - Dials, hands, case, jubilee from stonep - JMB bezel - Swiss ETA 2836-2 (cleaned and serviced) - Rep Rolex rotor - Originally planned for a gen crown, but ran into a small road block 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whoopy12 Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 I'll be sure to include a rolex hangtag so it'll look extra nice when you present it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmb Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 Love the Jubilee! Make sure you check the adjustment link screws before you give it to her, one looks like it's a little backed-out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

junbug5150 Posted May 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 And here's mine. Specs mostly the same except this used a Swiss 2840-2, low beat to replicate the gen 18K bph as much as possible. Case very lightly aged. Also a more manly-er rivet bracelet Two together: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dieselpower Posted May 17, 2015 Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 Nice. What rivet bracelet is that on yours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junbug5150 Posted May 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 Nice. What rivet bracelet is that on yours? 78350 w/ 455B endlinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted May 22, 2015 Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 78350 w/ 455B endlinks is not a rivet bracelet number! 78350 is a late model 19mm oyster bracelet. 7206 would be a more appropriate rivet number for a 20 mm case. So anyway it's a rep rivet, what the heck. Nice pair of 1016s and with a rep bracelet you never have to worry about tearing the bracelet up. Enjoy!
