I recently discovered that gen cases for the 1560 are generally much cheaper on eBay than those for the 1570. The two movements look almost similar except for the rotor, but I'm not sure if their specifications are the same. If they are, it seems like I could make a nice build using a 1570 adapter.

There was a 5504, which was the 5500 dial (Precision, rather than SCOC), but in a 36mm case. Technically, that's what the Raffles "5500" dial would go in.

I have never been very interested in 1016 but after reading this thread, I want to try to make one.
I finally got the parts together and assembled it.

welcome to the 1016 Level 1
now you need to take it apart again, and start doing some case reshape, dial and hands ageing
in order to graduate

you need this oneWould this bracelet be better?
or the rivet version.
if you order, make sure you tell Ken that it's for a 1016, to get the right endlinks
Also, if one day you do the lug holes enlargement to fit 2mm springbars, you will need to mod the endlinks and first link of the bracelet

I have the same bracelet I purchased for the 16220 and will try to install it.
I have already machined the lug holes but am having a hard time machining the end links to install the 2mm spring bar.

just file the inside of the endlinks where the springbar passes. don't rrush it. Just enough else they will become too thin
its "wrong" because of the clasp from my perspective.Would this bracelet be better?
the 1016 only had rivet bracelets with this clasp or
some kind of oyster style (no rivets) with this clasp
jubilees were also on the 1016 but they also used the clasp used in rivet bracelets.
the 1016 never had the flip lock style clasp
Bracelet
Are you an Osyter fan or a Jubilee fan? Lucky for you, the 1016 came on both and looks great on either. Though each has it’s merits, I’d advocate for having both and changing back and f…

Final experiment:
I made some espresso, filtered it, and just dumped the dial and hands in it overnight. Kept the whole thing steady at 75’C.
After a day, this really aged it (a bit too far to my taste). The acidity must have corroded the metal hands because they kind of turned pink. The dial lume all stripped off. Dial paint starting to deteriorate.

I did a similar test once but at much higher temp and very short time
The dial and hands just hate heat while immersed in coffee. The liquid coffee destroys them. Not pretty at all
Now you might have a different and better result if you leave the parts in contact with the solid ground coffee, dry. The ambiant humidity will dampen it.
