I just bought an 18k GMT 1675. It is all yellow gold - not the gold & steel. The bezel insert is two tone Brown/Gold. All the vintage gold GMT 1675's I see seem to have a solid brown insert. Was the two tone insert issued or is this a replaced insert? I will post photos once I receive the watch. I only bought the head. I plan on putting it on a strap. Thanks in advance. H

It was a prince date model. One of the smaller guys. I was mistaken in that it does not have lug holes drilled. I need to do that. Who can drill holes? Send me your email and I can send you some crappy photos I just took. I also have a nice one repaustria put together a few years ago with a 40 year hold hand wind movement. Thanks H

I went a different direction. I bought a Tudor Prince. The case had the lug holes and was marked as a Rolex oyster case. The Tudor movement to me was better than fitting an ETA. Istill need to find a Tudor minute hand. The dial was supposed to be a gen from bay but probaably a repaint. I had to remove the feet. I think it worked well. I need to relime one of the indicies now. It looks great and is somewhat a franken. HT

I have Yuki Watch 1680 caseset. I have a gen dial and movement installed. The question is does anyone know if a gen bezel or insert will fit this case? Thanks in advance. HT

That's the one. I don't think it's been rep'd yet. I'd love to find one.

My wife just showed me the new Planet Oceans with diamond bezels. The gens are rhodium plated. Has anyone seen a rep one or know where to source it? I would love to find her one for Christmas but don't want to part with $9,000. Thanks HT

I'm in for one or two.

Does the 5513 have the metal surrounds on the dial indices? I thought there was no metal on the 5513 dial. Thanks.

Like my dear departed mother used to say, "No balls - no black chips"

I'm in the same boat as AD. By the way what do you understand as to the timing of shipping on these? I thought they were "in stock" but a recent email from WM9 spoke to putting them together and testing first? Was that just stndard boilerplate language? HT

I am in exactly the same position. Waiting for both.

I will probably bis on it towards the end of the auction dependant on the price then.

All my prayers for you and your family. I empathize sincerely. Mothers are the most under appreciated people on earth. Live your life as if its your last day and hug everyone. God rest her soul. HT
