I know, ANOTHER SNOWFLAKE? OK, so this is the second half to my 16800 build: http://www.rwg.cc/topic/152701-my-uber-franken-makeshift-16800-wannabe/?hl=+16800 I used the guts of an MBW 1680 for that 16800 project and saved the case for my Snowflake venture. Pbdad trimmed and soften the case and installed the crystal for me and I did the rest. The 16800 is actually with Pb now for lughole drilling.
Parts list:
Dial and hands from eBay
MBW case reworked by the master, pbdad
New Sea-Gull ST2130 from eBay
Clark 125 plexi
Ofrei pearl in MBW insert (I think it’s an MBW insert)
Franken’ 93150 bracelet assembled from a variety of sources
Over all, this was a fun project and I am happy with the results. My first upgrade will be a Gen old school 703 crown with Clark tube. I also thought about a new dial. This one is decent but is by no means accurate. Maybe upgrade to an ETA 2824. The Sea-Gull runs strong and is brand new though so may just stick with that. The MBW case was designed with a 2836 in mind but the 2824 clone worked out quite nicely with a proper movement ring and clamps. Anyway, check out some photos and tell me what ya’ll think.
