The 1016: The Under Appreciated Thread

[1675lover]

U can also search for ST2130 on aliexpress.
That’s the seagull 1:1 clone of the 2824.

The crappy ones that 1016lover pointed out with the metal plate covering the hour wheel is typically marketed as PT5000.

Anyway I’m still waiting for my dial from raffles… movement, hands, case (with Clark’s crystal installed) are all ready to go

Also waiting for my gen explorer to return from RSC because the dial came out of the factory with flaws…

What a start to the new year!

They sell such rubbish movements as pt5000? Man, I can't believe it... it's one of the best eta clone in the market

 

[pullthat92]

Ah, what I meant was. Do they advertise these rubbish movements as pt5000?

 

[dpd3672]

My concern was buying a movement represented as one of the “better” ones and receiving one of the low end ones.

Afaik, that’s what I found when I was buying clone movements.

very cold in FR too
so much that I even have a crevasse on two fingers

no watchmaking for me this week.
I have two watches I need to sell later on

a Omega Pie Pan constellation jumbo (waiting for the spare seconds hand as I lost the original)
my beloved Belkin Destro as I never wear it really (but I am still not sure I can do it)

Give us a look at the Omega pie pan.

That's lovely.
I've got an old 1968 Zenith Pie Pan Jumbo that's been in bits in a box for a couple of years.
I'll get round to it one day, I promise. Absolutely superb movement. I mean, top.
Rebuilding is taking some time . . .as it does.

I have a couple that I’ll be starting in the next few days. A Space Dweller and a couple 1016 variants.

I have been procrastinating too much. I plan to push myself to do one a month.

I've got one in parts but stuck waiting on hands. Too busy making Seiko mods for people to start another project.
