The 1016: The Under Appreciated Thread

[Karbon74]

I did several check for the handset and gen seem to be 7.8mm,

8mm will be better, i ve corrected the lume size too to .5mm, already sent to ken

For who want to see an explorer on the screen, madmen Season 4, i have some doubt as it seem to be a 14270, but some site reference a 1016, to me it look saphire, no close UP to validate...

that's not a 1016 for sure
I have the newer exp1 and that the applied numerals modern dial

He’s wearing it too loose like that Matt Damon does. It’s not a great look.
But it’s a great watch.

And remember old Chinese proverb;
Confucius, he say; man who wear Rolex too loose is going to get crown hole in back of hand.

Well, just stop it okay!
Size your bracelet correctly!
You should be able to just insert your pinky under the clasp, and the bracelet feel a little tight like that.

Don’t be an “Over-Wrist-Boner” Karbon!
Pull yourself together man!

I really like the dangling...and the flimsy rattliness of those vintage bracelets make it even more enjoyable

In that particular pic of Draper it does look like is wearing a 14270
however there are other images , where they have corrected the error and he is wearing what looks like a 1016 with a T22 service crystal (beveled edges) I recall there is one quick glimpse of it and it is a 1016 I just cant find a capture of it.

He did also wear a reverso an omega seamaster and I believe a tudor tuxedo . Stearling was also spotted wearing that same watch as well. I was a big fan of that series as I am quite interested in that era - Mid Century Modern 40-70's era

I haven’t watched much of madmen, but what I have. I think they do make a significant effort in what is called properties and continuity – to make sure stuff matches the era and the time and the styles, etc.
I mean us lot here - we’re a bunch of hopeless cases here and will scrutinise way way way beyond what any ordinary normal well-adjusted person would.
That’s makes us what we are here - the best!

we are not the only ones. a quick google shows a lot of forums discussing this

the compromise opinion is that he was given a 14270 until they got it that it was not period correct and gave him a proper 1016

Now some stories also say the Rolex was a fake and the world goes round and round

If they wanted it to be perfectly correct – quite frankly, they should’ve come to us!

funny thing happened to me this morning.
I was dressing for work. Suit as usual.

I circled though my whole watchbox. Gens and reps...I selected the 1016 again. It gets 75% of my wrist time, if not more.

I have a fantastic PAM from Belkin, and I never wear it anymore

I heard a similar story about a movie prop in the movie DRIVE with Ryan Gosling
the watch he wore was a rep and engraved to commemorate the movie and he was gifted it. I think it was going to go up for auction and estimates were that it was going to sell for alot more than a gen example.
not what you wear but who you are who wears it lol

Absolutely – my 1016 is my daily beater - it’s just lovely and I’m getting on a bit now so I don’t need to flex anything anymore.

I have a couple of 1016 dials arriving and now I’m contemplating if I should proceed to build them first or wait for the longer hands to be launched…
