Tiffany & Co 1016 Explorer build

[Dawagner]

Hey all,

Was bored and finally got around to putting these photos together.  Ive seen a few posts lately about how to build a 1016 so here is how I built one for the Wife. 

Got my inspiration from @mir36 thread last November, Thanks!

 

I used a JMB v2 case, T21 crystal, Helenarou Dial, Raffles time merc vintage hands, ETA 2824, Hirsch teal strap (now Jubilee).

 

Overall the Helenarou dial is pretty nice.  I had built it originally with a Whoopy dial which was awesome but as the goal was for a Tiffany and Co dial I reached out to her and am pretty happy with the results.

 

Just need to get a re-lume as the dial doesn't match the hands, its a little too green.

 

The 2824 I bought was in pretty rough shape so I tackled that first.

 

First all the pieces,

 

And then piece by piece,

 

And last but not least all together!

What a clean up of the movement!

Great built there! Your strap combo is very nice!

Wear it with pride!
