There’s really nothing that beats a Scandinavian summer evening…
I have the matt dial 1016 on an Oyster for when I want to be professional, the honeycomb dial 6350 on Horween leather for when I want to be mellow and the gilt dial 6610 on a jubilee for when I want to be fabulous …
my mistake. meant to share the standard dial option he offers. Its on his site.
Speaking of Tiffany and Co. Someone posted this in the Explorer only group on FB inquiring as to if the dial is gen or not.
looks like a raffles dial to me.
Thoughts guys?
were my thoughts as well.100% Raffles
IF memory serves the double stamped Tiffnays were offered by Bunny Mellon for a limited time and serial range.
Here is a gen for comparison
The cornet is closer in resemblance to a mk3 than the mk5ish style on the raffles dial
I was wondering why it looked like the previous yellow lume mk2 dial(with the wrong coronet) he had.Yup I buy the white lume and age it myself.
100% raffles. Even the case itself is probably aftermarket or from raffles. Look at those thicc lugs

Im with you on that one @369mafia and @1675lover Dial is almost certainly Raffles (not sure if there was more thatn one swiss 25 positioning, and the crown) case looks suspiciously broad too from top
Raffles
The way the lume is machine printed is unmistakable
Nice work so far.
Here it is Canada day long weekend and no projects to work on poor timing on my part. but I do have a list of things I could to do to a few of mine...
swap in settling lever and 13mm hour hand on my mk2 1016
case work and chamfers on the 1019
swap in open 6/9 dwo on my 1655
But I am of the mind right now that if it aint broke, dont fix it lol

Nice. Is the 36mm case another 1016 Project? Did xou slim down the lugs a little but keep the curve?Case work today
You really have the best eyes on the planet
I slimmed the lugs a bit, and then recreated the curve by hand work.

Well, we are the nerds hereYou really have the best eyes on the planet

... but also because i also did casework today. Also went to the lugbtop and flattened the profile a little bit. I think i get close to something that i like for an older 60s/70s case but i also like the look of new or a service case... still thinking about a viet case but they are so expensive.This is an AliX case by the way... Ill probably try a last time with a raffles one when this does not work out
