pitimany Posted October 14, 2008 Report Posted October 14, 2008 Re-dial, Gen case (16200), movement ETA 2846, aftermarket Tropic 22 crystal in bad shape, gen crown and tube, Tudor hands next: gen dial lug-holes need drilling to take 2mm springbars gen 78360 with 580 endlinks
alligoat Posted October 14, 2008 Report Posted October 14, 2008 Man P, you've been busy lately! That dial in there now gives it the older 1016 look. Or is it the T-22 crystal that makes the dial look old? At any rate, very nice, congrats.
freddy333 Posted October 14, 2008 Report Posted October 14, 2008 If you swap that dial out & replace the crystal, me likie.
Dizzy Posted October 15, 2008 Report Posted October 15, 2008 me likie too. That gen dial in there is going to look nice!
stilty Posted October 15, 2008 Report Posted October 15, 2008 All right amigo! It is coming along. just need to bore out the lug holes to accept the 2mm springbars.
stilty Posted October 15, 2008 Report Posted October 15, 2008 Gen 1016 springbars are not 2mm. part number 23-9293. shorter than the Submariner/GMT springbars, but definitely 2mm. I have a set in mine... 1016 springbars
rolex001 Posted October 15, 2008 Report Posted October 15, 2008 Damn, I mixed up - yes they are shorter but not thinner, you are right. Some people use them for overpolished 40mm cases were the bars already look through the lugholes.
Heywood Posted October 15, 2008 Report Posted October 15, 2008 Nice work! Did you have a bezel for the 1016 or did you modify the bezel from the 16200?
pitimany Posted October 16, 2008 Author Report Posted October 16, 2008 Moded the bezel with a lathe (0.2mm). Nice work! Did you have a bezel for the 1016 or did you modify the bezel from the 16200?
Chino Posted October 16, 2008 Report Posted October 16, 2008 wow, that's looking very sexy. The exp I is a very nice watch to have, besides is super comfortable, a little small for what we actually see. Nice job!!
By-Tor Posted October 16, 2008 Report Posted October 16, 2008 ExpI is such a classic! Congrats for this wonderful franken!
Heywood Posted October 16, 2008 Report Posted October 16, 2008 Moded the bezel with a lathe (0.2mm). Cool. It's a great looking piece. Please share some pics when you finish the lug holes and dial.
ubiquitous Posted October 16, 2008 Report Posted October 16, 2008 Looking good! This is a great classic... Damn, I mixed up - yes they are shorter but not thinner, you are right. Some people use them for overpolished 40mm cases were the bars already look through the lugholes. Hmmmm... I sometimes like it when the bars are poking through the lugs a bit. Think it gives the watch a nice tool look to it... Like it's lived a life with purpose...
dieselpower Posted October 16, 2008 Report Posted October 16, 2008 Love the 1016 will be nice to see it completed. I like to see bars in the lug holes as well - it says "I mean business"
ubiquitous Posted October 16, 2008 Report Posted October 16, 2008 Love the 1016 will be nice to see it completed. I like to see bars in the lug holes as well - it says "I mean business" Plus, those little lug bars sticking out are perfect for catching the hook of a bra for ease of removal
dieselpower Posted October 17, 2008 Report Posted October 17, 2008 Touche mon ami. (Silly post I know but am just trying to build my count up)
automatico Posted October 19, 2008 Report Posted October 19, 2008 quote = Gen 1016 springbars are not 2mm. /quote Submariner/1016 springbar plugs are about 1.2mm where they pass through the lugs and the center tube is 2.0mm. Allow a little clearance for the 1.2mm plugs when drilling the lugs.
zman Posted July 25, 2009 Report Posted July 25, 2009 Quick q, did the tropic 22 fit in the 16200 case w/o any problems? thx!
automatico Posted July 25, 2009 Report Posted July 25, 2009 A genuine rolex 25-22 crystal (or generic made to oem specs) will fit a 16200 etc case. A 25-22 crystal will also fit a 16000 etc case. A standard bezel for a 16200 etc will not press over a 25-22 crystal because the crystal has thicker sidewalls making the outer diameter larger. A standard bezel for a 16000 will not fit over a 25-22 crystal for the same reason. A 16200 bezel is taller than a 16000 bezel. The inside diameter of any standard DJ bezel will have to machined to fit a 25-22 crystal.
