Thread: Rolex 1016-Plexitastic

  1. #1

    Rolex 1016-Plexitastic

    After acquiring this lovely original 1016 I knew that something was missing, a Domed Tropic! After sourcing a NOS T22, having it fitted, new end links, bracelet brushed up, wow what a difference! Hopefully the pictures will portray this.. Let's see all those 1016's?

    There's something a bit special about these little vintage babies that one cannot explain...

    Before..

    After..

    Far better Vince! The dome adds so much depth to the dial.

    Looks good Vince!

    I've promised myself a 1016 one day. In my mind would be the perfect watch to put on your wrist and wear forever.

    Awesome looking 1016's.

    My favourite watch. It's good to see the love for this classic. There was a time not so long ago when every mention here of the 1016 brought cries of 'I love it, but too small'. Tastes are at last changing for the better.
