Heywood Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 I was planning on doctoring up an Air King 5500 with an explorer dial, but have decided that the 5500 case is just too little to suit me. I've wanted a 1016 for a long time, but the prices have always been too high to suit my frugal nature. I tried a 1603 case and was dissatisfied with heft of the case-it is just not substantial enough to make me happy. Has anybody ever seen an Explorer 1016 from MBW. The quality of their cases seems pretty good and I think would be the perfect platform for a franken 1016. Any hope here? Thanks for any input.

Guest chronomat123 Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 Great idea, vintage Exp 1. As for the case: why not try a genuine case from a vintage ss Datejust? These pop up on Bay from time to time for $100. Then you might not have the engraving, but who's gonna pull the bracelet off and check between the lugs?
