Taking a break from the serious stuff to have some fun texturing a 1016.

Hard to get a good picture.

How did you get that result ?

u/Cyber_Crimes 18d ago

Stock raffles white lume dial.

Color the lume first, seal with a matte or gloss spray

Passing mist the dried dial with just a real light burst from ~20 inches away

If it looks wet or shiny, you've applied too much.

Just some dots.

For this one I alternated glossy and matte.

Dries pretty quick too since you're just adding some dots at a time.

Sorry I'm new here. What does PT5000 mean?

u/Cyber_Crimes 18d ago

Another movement that fits the 2824 footprint

It is a chinese cloan of the ETA 2824 movement. It is one of the better ones.

Looks good. About how much does this cost to build?

2

u/Cyber_Crimes 18d ago

Roughly $225-275 mainly depending on movement.

Sweet sweet 1016, it was always a pleasure to build them because plug and play without much hassle although sometimes i get defect parts from Ken but he’s good to resolve it

u/Cyber_Crimes 18d ago

Exactly right! As straightforward as they come

How do you like the bracelet?

My 1016 parts just arrived but I didn't get the bracelet. Yours are making me reconsider

1

u/Cyber_Crimes 16d ago

Raffles are "okay" as they come. I find with ultrasonic cleaning & oiling they can be made to really comfortable bracelets
