My 1016 journey

Recommended Posts

BlameTony

So I decided to pull the trigger and finally get a 1016 rep built. I did lots of research and bounced back and forth between Raffles, Mochacha, and some other quality vendors for parts. I even considered sourcing some gen parts but the bill got very large very quickly.  I ended up going with  nearly all VN parts including case, dial, hands and Swiss ETA movement. Bracelet from Raffles. I should have some QC pics in the next week or so. I'd be happy to post if anyone is interested.

Yes she is. Overall, pretty happy except the dial. The build was all VN components with Swiss ETA. I feel the dial is a bit too "flat" for the lume. The color is good but there seems to be little to no depth to it. I would have wanted something with a bit more texture. I may swap it out for a Ruby's or Raffles.
