The 1016: The Under Appreciated Thread
- Thread starter ebzen02

No. Somewhere earlier in the thread (40 pages back? I have no idea) we spent a lot of time talking about hand length and were looking at custom orders. (Something I considered a year ago.) There is no good source for a gen looking 7.5 mm hour hand that I am aware of.
It may have been me. This build I used 13mm hands. This is @Exp1971 watch.The english on Raffles site is shaky at best.
The « not » is probably a typo
One of us on this thread bought the longer hands set and posted a build. it looked awesome. Now that you say it, I think I have a set in my parts drawer with the Cartier 1016 I need to build

I think I may have already answered this question myself, but do I need to buy a bigger bracelet and take the springbar guards from it make the 20mm jubilee work? Or is this just the way it is? I know I'm asking a stupid question as I type it 
Seems too small between the lugs

What is the endlink code? These look to be 19mm endlinks.I think I may have already answered this question myself, but do I need to buy a bigger bracelet and take the springbar guards from it make the 20mm jubilee work? Or is this just the way it is? I know I'm asking a stupid question as I type it

Where did you get that bracelet?I think I may have already answered this question myself, but do I need to buy a bigger bracelet and take the springbar guards from it make the 20mm jubilee work? Or is this just the way it is? I know I'm asking a stupid question as I type it

If you email Ken, he will send you the right endlinks
Like you said Karbon, maybe I'll just get the correct endlinks and keep this bracelet. It wears so nice
From what I understand, the bracelet is the same for 19 and 20, only the endlinks change
But Ken will help with this

This is true for real vintage bracelets. Raffles vintage jubilee isn't really that vintage, but like you said, Ken will definitely know.
From my experience, this is true for Rafflesdial riveted oyster, but not solid oyster.
Some folded link jubilee for Seiko can be found…I wonder if they would take Raffles endlinks and clasp
I'd pretty positive an 19/20mm would. I wanted to try exactly that, but it was like $200 for a vintage Seiko "rolled jubilee" in excellent condition. I could find multiple "folded" ones for like $15 if I didn't care about the way the metal was folded.
Pics for example. Rolled vs. cheap-as-dirt folded. Finally, both next to a solid link. The center-link spacing is the same for all 3.

I found a cheaper one in my box of bits and it was shocking. Only once piece though.
These vintage pieces are sublime @WatchN3RD
