The 1680 with faded bezel is all original and in "as found" condition. Only serviced once, it is a 5.3 serial. No evidence of ever having a polish. The 9315 bracelet was torn up and really only scrap. I pieced some rep parts to put it back together but it is non functioning. Selling the head for $3500.00.

It's for sale........good price too.

Congrats....you are now second on my "I hate You" list.........

Well, I haven't decided to even start this one so.......who knows.

oooh, tasty!

Well, When I am done with this one. i figure market value will be around $900-$1000.00 Figure: Gen 9315 Bracelet, Gen crystal, gen insert, gen crown, gen tube, slow beat Gen eta serviced, DW overlay, Shape the case and CG's, gen spring bars(Drill out to accept). $1000.00 may be a little low now that I think about it......

I doubt it. This is straight from "THE" source......

Love the Gen. in the far back left.......hic!

A friend just picked it up a few weeks ago.....source unknown

They do. In fact, some of the high end reps have very nice 703 crown/tube combo's like TC's 16610. I put a Gen crown on his tube and it works very well.

Only if one is gen and the other is not.

Not that I am aware of.

If the stem is too long it will prevent the crown from screwing all the way down. Forcing it could damage the keyless and cause the movement to stop. Trim your stem and enjoy the watch.

That was a point of contention and a few attempts were made some time ago. But remember, a service replacement was white so, not too bad.

Careful. You need a tube with the threads at the base for a 702 crown and with the threads at the opening for a 703 crow. Length has nothing to do with it............that's what she said. Gen 702 crown and tube: 703 combo:

MBW with only a Gen 127 top hat crystal installed.

crown Side: Dial and bezel with insert: All in all, The MBW is still the best out of the box you can get......if you know the right people

Sad to see any watch of value scrapped for metal content. i have a few 18kt and 14kt watches that will remain watches even though at times, we are looking under the cushions to make ends meet.

First, I added a Gen NOS top hat 127. And then things got outta hand......I think perhaps I went to far:

Funny, I walked though a door a long time ago.....and lost my cherry:-)

LOL!!!! Was that the one listed on TZ? Very cherry.

pfft, yeah right......nice watch. Enjoy it for a while.

Crap.

nope....not even close.

Why would anyone destroy a classic timepiece to make a hideous franken like this. Thank God you are not the "only" Rolex Modder
