The 1016: The Under Appreciated Thread

[316lad]

I actually went back to more of an ivory colour see post #1643 above. That's the great thing about the watercolours. I wore the watch a few days and then decided to dial back abit on the hue. Some water to wash the existing hue away and then more of a pale ivory instead.
In other words - whatever you do - it's reversible.

 

[pullthat92]

yes. air brush paints

I've never used airbrush before. Can you recommend me the exact paint color?

@369mafia


Do you use Tamiya spray? There are amazingly variant color options

Its okay , you dont need an air brush, just the water based translucent airbrush paints . I use an Ochre color and dilute it to the desired tone and apply with oilers. Everyone's techniques are different as you have seen

Thanks. You're right. Everyone seems to have different techniques. It gives me an Idea.. maybe I can just use the water paint at home and spray it with small spray Or brush it.
I should test it on cheap aliexpress hands before workin on expensive one.
Gotta pay attention to see how the color changes as the paint dries, and how much water should I use to prevent dissolving.

much of the fun of this hobby is in the constant experimentation, and occasional trashing of parts

For real. I think this is what truly enjoying a watch is all about.

I can definitely vouch for the acccidental trashing of parts.

Make contact and ask.

depends on the case, depends on the dial Probably better to ask them directly about specific products . If you are tired of waiting for a reply from them. that should be an indication

It's been a month and they never replied to me.. I just wanna know the price of 1016 case and dial

At this point I want to find them and punch them in the face.. the way they treat their customer is so irritating
I've sent emails and whatsapp messages and they're just ignoring them over a month. Even the inquiry system in their site shows up error and doesn't work at all.

exactly my point. Do you want to send them hundreds of dollars for products that you are not sure you will ever receive? I get the impression lately that they are not serious about their business so I would avoid them . I have had a few ppl complain to me about the terrible customer service , which is sad because they offer nice products for reasonable price. I guess the money they make is not enough to keep them interested.

one sent them money for parts. chased them from a few months, emailing them 2-3 times a day for a refund or send product and after nearly another month they finally got a refund.

Yeah. the sad truth is that there are no other dealers who handle Vietnam cases. Even with its terrible attitude, the Vietnam case is still worth the money.
And although they are horribly slow, at least they don't scam..
