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.

Hi Clockpilot,

was this a 34mm case or one of the larger ones? I'm curious which exact model you used as a base

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

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.

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

That's not what his website says.

I hope I didn't lead anyone astray here.

If I get a goofy one, maybe BK can fix it for me? Since we're practically neighbors.

I'm all thumbs when it comes to fixing these kinds of flaws.

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

I just placed my order for one as well. I also have a BK WM9 V2 w/BK crown on order. When I saw this deal I couldn't pass it up. This one should hold me over while I wait for my BK WM9 V2 to arrive.

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

Yes, that would be a 14060, not a 5513, and a little pricey for this model IMO.

*oops* the pricey comment was for another 14060 by the same seller, around $4K.

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.
