My First Vintage Build (already planning my next build)

Recommended Posts

I originally set out to build a Tudor DayDate after being inspired by Jerkstores build-a-long frankenjust guides, But fell in the love with the 1016 after reading the many threads, especially LHOOQ and 1680's Vintage 1016 build projects.

 

I was lucky enough to snatch up a Whoopy dial which is gorgeous by the way and the catalyst for this build.

 

I couldn't wait for the bracelet to come so quickly made a leather strap to wear it before I ship her off to get lumed.

 

Build details are below.

 

-JMB V2 - with engravings

-Whoopy 1016 Dial

-JMB Hands (purchased TC Hands on M2M but still not here after 4weeks default_sad.png )

-Gen crown

-Gen Spring bars

-Mary Oyster 7836 bracelet on the way

-Clark T21

-2824-2 movement

-endlinks (please recommend)

-to complete the look anyone know where I can get an old Rolex box?

Thanks Guys.

 

The Daydate wasn't put together by me but was completed by Marrickville over at RWI (I think his on here too). If you live in Australia and need a 28XX movement serviced he is your man. Pleasure to deal with, reliable and quick.
