still the same : cheers, Frank

brownie today: cheers, Frank

let me guess will it be an ... 16800 ? good luck and thanks for sharing !! Frank

nice !! and welcome pm me if you want to get rid of it Frank

still the same watch ....... not to be boring - here is an very old pic of it : cheers, Frank

very nice pictures !!! makes me really think if i not should keep mine cheers, Frank

disagree the most accurate modern Sub maybe

ahhh thanks ! thought there was a never never version again

i would looove to see a pic of version 3 .... anyone ? Frank

same watch like yesterday with new face : cheers, Frank

you need the right calibre - 1570 and forward turn in the wrong way for ETA - but look nice what you need is a date wheel for cal. 1030 - and you neet to cut some material in the middle - but it fits perfect - they seem to have all the same diameter. its the best solution for the 1680 - metal, silver and looks good under the lupe. cheers, Frank

yes - i think this is my favourite - i found some better light for better picture : the date wheel is gen. cheers, Frank

dito - same choice here. Frank

please help me to decide ... which dial would you put in this 1680 (it looks very beat up in real life) i cant decide between the very old-vintage looking NDT or the (imho more accurate) MBW dial. which would you put ??? ageing the MBW dial is not an option - i tried but with not much success thanks, Frank

dont know ... but look what i found 5 mins ago :

this silly combo today : cheers, Frank

please so ndt dials ndt : and what is all wrong : cheers, Frank

this two for the weekend - sorry no time for new pics .. cheers, Frank

take a deep deep breath .... and leave the watch as it is ... take the money an bye a vintage Seadweller or an other nice watch . if you want perfection - you need more then a gen dial the watch is nice as it is nobody will call you out - except members of Replica and Gen Rolex forums Frank

well - good luck !! sound like an amazing project - i will get later an 6152 - case set from DSN - thats good enough for me cheers, Frank

got a movement from the same seller - mine needed a lot of love from my watchmaker but now its in a Panerai case and keeps excellent time : cheers, Frank

love strap and watch ! congrats ... Frank

im with By-Tor : the MBW and TW-Best cases are dead wrong - the Noob a little better - but the rehaut is to shallow - this can be spotted easy even on the wrist the noob would be perfect for an 16800 but in your case i would try WM9 or decide if you can accept the flaws ... cheers, Frank

cool review !! thanks a lot ! if you have a steady hand - i would even try to repaint the L SWISS L - hope to see the watch soon cheers, Frank

what an idiot - and yes even an NDT dial is soooo wrong - there is no good "red" 1680 rep dial out there - sadly ... so - who was it ? Frank
