junbug5150 Posted October 10, 2015 Report Share Posted October 10, 2015 For those of you that know me, you know I've got a thing for 1016s and Gilt dials. Well back over on this thread I made my wife her 1016: https://rwg.cc/topic/178104-finally-finished-my-wifes-1016#comment-1415509Since then I've been wanting to make myself something similar, but I wanted to use the best parts I can find. And it's finally complete: My Ultimate 1016 This is a jmb v2 case that's been tapped for gen tube and crown. I went with a Yuki Gilt dial and hands combination and added a gen jubilee bracelet I found on the Bay. All this runs on a recently serviced Swiss ETA 2824-2. I know the gen is 18,000 bph but I elected to go high beat. I even asked Justin to engrave the case with my birth year. I also used the 6 million serial number which I believe is within that time frame. I've gone through A LOT of watches, but something tells me this guy is sticking around with me for a long time 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DmitryI was fortunate to get a few from whoopy here. I'd check m2m in parts throughout all rep forums or VRM (Vintage Rolex Market). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
