The 1016: The Under Appreciated Thread

[316lad]

I agree with all of this. But unfortunately, they are not firm enough for anything overly precise. I'm watching Sc-Fi movies to figure out exactly what I'm looking for. It's right on the border of silicone and sapphire, like cheap plastic in the winter.

Makes me wonder, maybe I should put the mini zip ties in the oven to dry them at low heat. Pretty sure they used to store tires underground in the desert for the bikes in the Olympics... just hard enough to be fast, yet soft enough to not explode like a dry-rotted balloon.

It's sounds so easy!

Use high-quality nylon zip ties - not the cheap plastic ones.

I have the watches in hand, just trying to find a reasonably priced oysterquartz dial...or, a cheap DJ dial that I can remove "Oyster Perpetual" from and replace it with "Oysterquartz" on a waterslide decal.
So no breakthrough, but the project is in queue, waiting for the last piece to fall into place.

I am also very interested in that project I recently learned in a FB watch group, that there is also a mechanical version. Ref number 1530 with saphire.

maibe for this version a DJ dial would be fine but it has a very prominent rehaut... no plug and play solution either unfortunately

That's okay - you posted within the Time Allotment for SEKSC - 18:00-20:00 GMT.
FYI - the hands on your Easter Egg Clock - need aligning - it's only 22 past the hour and yet the Hour Hand is pointing straight at the '8" - Dare I say it - but that's beginner's mistake . . .
