Lovely! My reference is "Reference 6610 (Lollipop Seconds Hand, Chapter Ring): 1957".
You mean too short, right?
What clasp cover have you got?

The clasp is wrong (should be the 'big logo' style') and everything is done with modern manufacturing techniques, so I've spent some time de-machining part (case, bracelet, clasp etc).
Best mod has been the lug holes - makes such a difference to get them right.

Nice! The big crown style clasp is indeed hard to come by. I'm hunting for one myself

This is the correct clasp and bracelet. High quality but $$$.

I want a jubilee bracelet personally, as in the Hodinkee reference 6610 from 1957

Is the K2-4 the correct band for the 6610 then?
https://rolexhaven.com/bracelets.html - great ref for bracelets - I'm guessing everyone here already knows about it lol
Not sure. The bracelet yes, but the end-link numbers I'm uncertain of.
This model for example has 80 end links.

Yes it is ruby. They reply by e-mail, sometimes.
If I recall correctly, the bracelet is 125 or 150$ I'm not sure.
Yeah I wasn't able to find the 14060 w/ NH35 feet on his site, but he has it if you ask him for it, and it is on his site, just not searchable!
Didn't 14060 come with a high-beat 3000 caliber?
I just finished Raffles 14060 build with PT5000 myself btw

Honestly, I did not do that research.
I used a NH35 case and the NH38 to avoid the ghost date.
The NH38 is a dream to work with. No fuss, +2s >300 amplitude out of the box, no stupid dial screws or movement tabs, indestructible keyless, butter smooth winding
I did not use the Raffles 14060 case as I dislike its rehaut
@Caboose it’s the case I was telling you about, after shaping.
The bezel fits the gen spec insert with some filing, and clever positioning of the 25 286 crystal

You're right about rehaut. Now I can't unsee it.
I hate you
If that makes you feel better, your hands choice is much better than mineYou're right about rehaut. Now I can't unsee it.
I hate you
I just took some random Ali NH hands
That rehaut I maintain is like a wok and massive. It's the reason I won't use 14060 Raffles cases.You're right about rehaut. Now I can't unsee it.
I hate you
Looking forward to seeing how this comes out.
@316lad
14060M mod taking shape
Correct case diameter
Correct bezel, correct insert, correct crystal
Reshaped lugs (too much)
Drilled 1.3mm holes
Now I need to glue on the crystal and fit
Oh Wow! That's a beauty. Nice one!

Original hands on a 1016 have a minute hand that reaches the chapter ring (13 mm) and the hour hand is short (~7.5 mm, IIRC). Service hands have a 12 mm minute hand and ~8.5 mm hour hand. The hour hand length is harder to notice, but after a while you can tell because typically hand sets are all original or all service, so the all original ones have a greater contrast in length between the minute and hour hands (plus you can tell by checking if the minute hand reaches the chapter ring) vs. service hands which have less disparity in length.
