I did, its possible with the raffle case, but post pose this build for later, i need a tool to glue dial feet, i triéd it essentially because i find better handset quality only avaible fo 3135

I like this build a lot.
I dislike the feeling on winding on the eta clones. I read that it's the same on ETA/Sellita.

and I was thinking that gluing dial anyway, a rolex clone might be fun to do rather than an NH

You chaps are right about the rehaut height on the Raffles - it is too high. That's with the T21 and dremeled out I.D of the bezel.

Another job for tomorrow . . .

by the way, here is my first serious 1016 i ever built:

- 1016 Vietnam case set
- 1016 Vietnam mk1 dial
- best combination of hands to mimic RSC 1016 service hands. The original 1016 hands have longer minute hand and longer second hand, which are both pretty much impossible to find as aftermarket parts. All hands were relumed.
- gen 600 crown
- ETA 2840 setting lever (for no phantom date position)
- Swiss Selitta sw200 (2824-2) movement

The bezel currently measures 35.34mm. I will reduce the circumference to make it look better.


After reducing the bezel circumference to around 35.1mm below:

There are gen bezel with a circumference of around 35.1mm, according to online search (https://marketplace.watchcharts.com...x-explorer-bezel-unused-genuine-polish-smooth)

Where this case came from? can you do profile pictures? the lug look well done, did it reshaped?

I think I heard that too but bear in mind he will probably provide lower tier price hands with a dial whereas he has a nice selection of more expensive hands available. I would ask him about a deal he can do for a case and hands.

Nice build,
this is a raffle case, right?
Does the rotor spins freely? If so, how?

I think so. Speaking of which, what do you think is the best hands?
The pictures on the Yuki site look great, but I can't see yuki hands in the various Hands comparison posts

guys
I was checking out the honeycomb dial on raffles. seems it has to work with golden merc hands, but then there is going to be a lume mismatch as the dial is yellow and hands white.

I know you guys relume. But I am not ready to go there yet.
any idea?

Look at this;
This guy is sailing a little close to the wind selling what looks like a Ruby dial (Singer on back) with a viet case, ETA 2824 movement.
