The 1016: The Under Appreciated Thread

[1675lover]

my guess is he will eventually release the other dials with nh feet.
unfortunately some of the 1016 dials he offers aren't to my liking..
if only he has a white lume 1016 that resembles the mk3...

 

[1675lover]

seiko movements have the same dial feet position.
nh34 (gmt), nh35 (date only), nh36 (day date), nh38 (open heart). nh70/71/72 (skeletonized version of the nh35 with no ghost date position and no plastic casing)

I used a 2824, but I have a couple NH35/NH38 from Ali that I plan to use in some upcoming builds. I think the Raffles dials have feet for both, unless the 38 is different than the 35,

imo i think the nh38 is the best choice for a 1016 build right now with the raffles case - no ghost date position, big surface area if mounting a non-NH dial, u can drop it in without any movement clamps and movement ring.

now all we need is more dial choices with nh feet ootb + nh hands (and preferably with 13mm seconds and minute hands for the hardcore fans).

There seems to be a lot more nhxx stuff in the market than eta, for sure

yup

also. if anyone has an idea for a quartz movement that could hit the Raffles cases...I would love to do a quartz 1016

I picked this up a while back, because there’s instructions in it for building a dial feet soldering machine (yet another project on my plate, lol). There’s a chart that shows compatibility between mechanical and quartz watches, I’ll look to see if anything is a direct fit for the ones we use (citizen/seiko/eta).

I never thought I'd see the honeycomb dial reproduced. Amazing

But, hand hole sizes are very different to ETA or NH, so hands would need to be sourced.

there is a space to figure out too.
but maybe the Raffles stock spacer can be adapted. Oh well, a project to the backlog

Should you provide the page with dial solder schematics?
thanks!

 

[1016 lover]

So I guess the solution is still the standard double sided tape. Hmm.
Curious to see how it holds up overtime.

I have a spare NH movement that I might test to see if I can use the dial feet holes and DIY new dial feet positions for the ETA based dial I’m using…

I glued my last tiffany with gs hypocement, work well

It should be easy enough to 3D print a spacer to fit a Raffles case. Other specs:
Diameter 23.70mm
Casing Diameter 23.3mm
Height 3.45mm thick
Beat Rate 14,400 vph, 2 Hz
Accuracy Rating +/- 15 sec/month
Battery Cell Number 371 (SR920SW)
Battery Life ~2 years
Stem 351177/tap 10 or 351892/tap 11
Hand Sizes 1.20mm / .70mm / .17mm

You wouldn't want to print it full height of movement though/ More like Height: 1.7mm and don't forget to leave a cutout for the stem.

I made some up for 3D printing...they're for a few different movements/cases, but should work if you find the one you need and print it.
This file is just a catch all for works in progress, but one of the movement holders should work, or it could be the basis for the "correct" one if you tweak the measurements.

i don't have a 3D printer yet...and I have even less time

this will wait

I put one in a '5513' a while back.
Mercedes type hands for a TAG Heuer with 955.xxx etc. quartz movement will fit.
