alligoat Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stilty Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 All right amigo! It is coming along. just need to bore out the lug holes to accept the 2mm springbars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolex001 Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 Gen 1016 springbars are not 2mm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stilty Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolex001 Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heywood Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 Nice work! Did you have a bezel for the 1016 or did you modify the bezel from the 16200? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pitimany Posted October 16, 2008 Author Report Share 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heywood Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dieselpower Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share 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" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

automatico Posted October 19, 2008 Report Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zman Posted July 25, 2009 Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 Quick q, did the tropic 22 fit in the 16200 case w/o any problems? thx! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
automatico Posted July 25, 2009 Report Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
