That’s awesome, really love your builds! Question for you- if you had to build the most accurate 1016 possible, which dial would you go for and from who? Debating between Yuki, Ruby and some eBay sellers I saw. Would appreciate any advice!


It depends on the age of the explorer you want because each "era " has specific details about it Your best research tool is www.explorer1016.com to study the details and differences.

The Ruby dials has nice stamping. I am not crazy about their lume .
Yuki is a good all around piece. and their standard dial is quite close for a mid 80s build.

raffles are good for entry level but not accurate in details

I just put my Explorer in the For Sale section because I finally got around to building my Space Dweller!! :thumbup: I will post up some pics as soon as I tint some hands to match the dial.

I will post it as soon as I get the lume on the hands matched better. Looks kind of strange right now!
