Space-Dweller Variations

Yea I'm pretty sure they were all gloss and gilt dials as well. When I was building mine I did a lot of research and found a good website on it. Just cannot remember the site now lol but even the gen that came up for auction about 4 months ago had a gilt dial. 

I think this is why I love this dial so much more than the explorer dials.

Hey, M, the 1016 master himself!  Really strange that all of the Space-Dwellers I've built for people have had matte dials and white markings.  I do seem to remember that the ingod was white with "SPACE-DWELLER" in a silverish color...

Yes, you remember correctly.  White text, silver "Space-Dweller" and just a gorgeous dial for the money.  Wrong, as it turns out, but gorgeous!  [Yes, I've still got that watch because I don't sell anything.]

Glad to see so many familiar faces are still around here!  Sorry for not checking in more often; it took someone PMing me about a 1016 build to finally log on.  Life has kept me busy, with less time and money for these projects.  It's not so much that I got poorer; it's these damn vintage Rolex prices that have gotten ridiculous!  I'm looking forward to see what's changed in the last 1-2 years, and what's stayed exactly the same.  I'm glad you've still got those Explorer cases for the people who need them!

Wait a minute....was that really Ihooq for real? If so are you still in Canada? I have missed your wisdom & thought you were onto other adventures....

my best, mcotter

Yes, still in Canada and I'm still getting compliments for your strap!  I'm still involved in watches, even though I haven't bought a new piece in years.  We should definitely meet up sometime.  I was thinking of heading down to Detroit for the auto show, but my schedule filled up.

Lhooq?  Welcome back... glad to see you lurking around again.  Stop by the champagne fountain and we'll have the dancing girls set you up, on the house.  :tu:

Champagne, I can skip, but I've always got time for the dancing girls!  Good to see that polar bear again!
