The 1016: The Under Appreciated Thread
- Thread starter ebzen02
- Start date
ok cool, leave it with me I should have some free time this weekend to photograph each set
I don't think all the minute hands are 13mm. In fact, I think only 1 and 4 in the photo are 13mm. The others look like 12mm or 12.5mm. Even the sweep second hands look like different lengths.
I, for one, would greatly appreciate seeing all the hands photographed next to the ruler, but recognize that is more work than just the hour hands.

Custom bezel fitted with a t22
Thanks for taking the time to do this - it gives a great insight into the various hands options and provides an excellent reference moving forward!pics below
Very nice, great gen angle - was the inside diameter perfectly dimensioned to fit the crystal, or did you need to do a final adaptation? Any chance of a limited production run for those of us wandering the empty desert of good 1016 bezelsCustom bezel fitted with a t22

I am sur that the job could be done, I am in discussion with a workshop, i will put my progress here for this subject, for the fitting, it's a direct fit.Very nice, great gen angle - was the inside diameter perfectly dimensioned to fit the crystal, or did you need to do a final adaptation?

Comparing with the JMB bezel and some gen pics, the prototype angle looks great but the base is a little thin?
photos from 369mafia and 1016 lover, the base (which i highlighted in that tiny red rectangle below), is kinda thin on the custom 1 by 1016 lover's workshop :/
in fact looking at the extreme left and extreme right, seems like the base is a little uneven. but good work on the sloping angle!

Yes, there is a problem with this prototype, it's due to the manufacturing, the guy has some difficulty execute the drawing, the outer diameter is 34,2mm but I ask 34.5mm on the drawing, the height is 1.8mm and the drawing quote it at 2mm+-0.05,and the last thing is the angle that shape the base look wrong to me and your right, I asked 90° from the polished face to the base, and it look more prononced, I will post the 3d render of the bezel I have drawn, except for the polished face angle and the height, this bezel Don t valid Wath I have drawn... I receive 2 bezel last week and they were completely wrong, the guy told me he will redo them and I received the one on the picture Friday, but it not really in line with my drawing, I think the guy was not really concern by this little things.photos from 369mafia and 1016 lover, the base (which i highlighted in that tiny red rectangle below), is kinda thin on the custom 1 by 1016 lover's workshop :/

I am in discussion with another workshop, and the guy was more attentive to Wath I need, we discuss with a case and a bezel in hands so he understand that this little thing have to be well done as it is a visual element of the watch, he told me that he will do me two bezel to validate my drawing and we ll see for a larger batch after, but it clearly not his main buisnees so he will do them when he will have time.
We discuss on the case too, for him it's possible to manufacture some, but he told me directly that the price for this thing will be expansive as I ask for 10 to 20... But it's possible, I ve drawn a case for my experiment, I am not 100% sure of the design, as I shape the raffle ones and seeing lot of picture of the real thing, and having a gen 14270 to compare, The shape is not so easy to draw, I can post some render to let you judge of my progress.
The length that folks will go to for reps… good stuff! Looking forward to the next batch of prototypes!
Meanwhile I’m still waiting for my Clark t21. It’s stuck in the US for some reason…
