  1. It's a yuki case and everything fits like a glove, genuine bezel, genuine 702 tube and crown. So it have the right dimensions.

    The problem is and I read a topic about it, a ref 1603 caliber 1570 won't fit a sport rolex, but some people says it does.

    There is a difference in the date seat, a ref 1603 have a beveled dateseat while a ref 1500, 1680 have a straight.

    JoJo35, I have a gen Red sub dial ;)post-23685-126118088948_thumb.jpgpost-23685-126118090857_thumb.jpg

    Who knows the partnumber from the right dateseat?

    Thanks,

  2. Hey guys,

    I have another problem to build my 1680. I bought a 1570 movement and yes there it is, it won't fit.

    It's a 1603 movement and I new it, So for once and all a 1601, 1603 "1570" movement won't fit at all.

    So my question is, what do I have to do? Searching for a new date seat or have this one milled.

    At first I wanted to do it myself but I cant take it of because one of the screws is rusty.

    Is it a possible task for a watchmaker to do this? Or should I sell the watch again and buy a ref: 1500

    Thanks,

    Kiara

  3. You need a Tropic 127 for a 1680 and the Inserts have the same measurement

    That's the problem. I do have a tropic 127 and it's a fit but when I use a tropic 19 it's a no go.

    So my questions are, is the Clarck aftermarket crystal not right or do I have an aftermarket insert.

    I want to know because I paid alot of money for the insert.

    Thanks,

    Kiara

  4. Hello Guys,

    I have a problem with my 1680 project.

    I bought a genuine 1680 bezel + insert and ordered a T-19 crystal from clarks. The insert is to small for the crystal!

    It wil only fit a 127 crystal.

    To my knowledge 1680,5512,5513 bezels and inserts are interchangeable, right?

    What do you guys think, the crystal isn't the right one or my insert is aftermarket?

    Thanks,

    Kiara

  5. After searching and lurking a long time on this forum! I'm ready to build my own super franken.

    I wanted a 1680 Red submariner,

    The project started with a nice yuki case set from another rwg member, I put the case in a box full of coins and shaked the hell with it.

    After that I needed a dial. de case has a red sub serial so my next task was to find a genuine not so expensive red dial.

    I found that dial but I have to do some work on it, repainting the indices takes alot of work, i'm like halfway :winkiss:

    So next I bought a gen 702 crown and tube, the tube wont fit the yuki case so I have to retap it, again thx to this forum for the right answers.

    Things I have to do is, finding a decent 1570 movement and a T39 Superdome, No cyclops for me on this baby :victory:
