1016 gilt of 1966
Hello all,
I am in the market for a gilt 1016 and I will be going to Europe next week. I might be able to make a short detour to check out this 1016. These are all the photos I've from the dealer, do you think it is worth a short detour? I don't mind the stretches so much but I do want to understand if this dial is good. The price is under 18k. Any opinion is appreciated! |

The lume looks weird to me, looks a little sloppy.

@roh123, forgive my ignorance but is it normal for the lume (such as at 11 and 12) to be overhanging the outline?

Looks like a couple possible paint chips around the edges @ 3 & 5 hour marks.

The lume looks absolutely awful. If you were to buy this, you’d have a hell of a hard time selling it with convincing a potential buyer that it came out of the factory looking like that.
The 11 o’clock marker alone is cringeworthy. |

Just so often on this board that members call out relumes without having any clue. If you know enough we can just agree to disagree in this case. I could be wrong but I would be happy to buy this watch. The chipped lacquer is a bigger concern.

Thank you for all of the replies! I definitely want to get myself a 1016. What do you guys think this should be worth?
The plan B would be settle for a matt dial for around 8-10k... which is not as charming (also I already have a Matt Dial Sub so might as well get something different for my 1016...) It just that a nice gilt dial 1016 with reasonable price seems hard to come by these days... |

Be hard pressed to find a good matte dial for under 10k I think

My observation is that some area of the gilt text is oxidized/patina to dark brown, but the lume is so white and have not any patina at all. That is very strange and weird. Not overall matching.
