If one wanted to buy a 1016...

What are the desirable years/versions and traits?

I think you can probably do some internet research before you ask this here. There are many articles written about the reference. And a literal site called explorer1016.com.

Do your due diligence first.

Older the better for me, just like 1675/5513.

An old original gilt fetch the most money and are most prized, 7206 bracelet, orig caseback, dial, hands a must.

Chapter ring best then non chapter ring same as 5513/1675.

If on a budget then just get the best post mid 60s matte dial one you can find I'd suggest.

No particular matte dial 'mark' commands a premium yet over another, well not in my book anyway.

Hope that helps and the 1016 website,

https://explorer1016.com/

as pointed out, is a must to learn about all aspects of the piece.
