Bart Cordell Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 Ok I'm started to search information for this build. Is there many modification to do to this case to reach 1016 or 6610 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolojack Posted March 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 for a 6610 the rear is totally different as it is a bubbleback.... better go with a V1 JMB. For a 1016, there are different generations.... with different shapes. Search on the forum, you will see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bart Cordell Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 So if I choose to make a 1016 I can start with a 16000 datejust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomhorn Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 Yes, it will look a bit like this when you are done ... My build thread will get you started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bart Cordell Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 @tomhorn Thanks I will read it. I want to built an explorer for my lovely wife. She's not interested by watches, but she's following my experiments and build with attention. She didn't wore a watch for yeeaars as many people. Last week I show her a 1016 and a 6610, she love it and ask me to build one for her. I need case, crown, hands and movement. I'll draw a nice gilt dial.

tomhorn Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 There are many other build threads. I used a 16014 case which is why my build thread will be helpful if you want to use a gen case. Having said that, JMB's cases are excellent, and if I didn't have the gen case sitting around, I would have gone that route. The dial has always been the difficult part of these builds. Good one's are hard to come by these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bart Cordell Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 @tomhorn The dial is not a problem. I can draw and print it on decals. I could start from a 16000 and found a bezel. Is the datejust crown is the same as explorer ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
