The 1016: The Under Appreciated Thread

I am not very confident with my drilling skills,can i use a needle file to make the lug holes bigger?
you need to drill out the lug holes to 1.3mm I dont think you have a file that size do you? If you do , it will take you a while to do it. and getting them to match may be tricky. Its just easier to drill them out. The holes are already there. Its not too difficult to enlarge them with a drill and bits. start at 1.0 then 1.1 finish at 1.3mm
Contact @1016L He offers bezels and the correct size crystal to replace the glued in acrylic crystal and stock bezel no need to buy an entirely new case set
I received his bezel today.
There is a massive drill press at work,i will give it a go.

There are reamers that small (for gas ports of guns and such) but drilling is the easiest way i think
Won’t Raffles do that?
I think I saw SuperLuminova in one listing

Yeah I found one but as far as my research goes, every Superluminova service dial has the "Swiss-T <25" at the bottom of the dial. I also do not like the crown on that one too much.
First there will be a new case for me anyway. so some time to think about the second project

Just mentioning, if you haven't enlarged spring bar holes before, it's extremely easy to snap a drill bit if it's slightly off angle, the bit bites instead of drills, etc. It's not that it's THAT difficult, it's just too damn easy to snap a bit that small.
Just wanted to reiterate 369's advice about doing it in steps. It's not easy getting out a miniature broken drill bit. Take it slow, and good luck.
For this reason I strongly recommend a cheap hand drill and a slow hand. A stand is nice to have but not a necessity.

thats perfect. just a little extra tip from the special forum knowledge: Put the casback on the case for drilling. It will help the case to stay in a right angle because there is no risk that the down curved lugs interfere with your vice.
Will do,thanks.
On holiday next week so will try it out when i get back.
I have,ordered some drill bits that karbon used.
