My kids at school are raising funds for hungry children in other countries. The charity involved can make a nutritious meal for 16p (UK). That watch could give 10,000 children a meal a day for over a year. What a world we have created.

@ Nook I see what you mean about the He valve. MBW is damn close, I had mine replaced with the 'plug' option and I think the original MBW actually looks closer to gen

I won't get out of an aeroplane until I can smell the grass.

Damn it - I forgot to say Clarks T39 I knew it I knew it! Is that a polexpete DWO by the way? Here's a shot of my caseback - old school MBW, hope you can see the curve. I believe that is pretty much how the gen should look:

That's a damn fine looking 1680. I love it.

Nice to see we're not the only people making reps.

MBW case and insert (need to sort the pearl and He valve out). Caseback looks flatter than MBW so that may be a replacement. Polexpete silver DWO? Gen 703 tall coronet crown. Drilled lugs with 2mm springbars I'm guessing Aussie, Ingod44 rail dial. Just thinking out loud here, could be completely wrong of course. Hands? No idea.

Sorry to say I've been looking for decent 7750 Daytona dials for ages. No joy.

Another vintage fan is born. Excellent. What to do now? Well, there's the 1680, the 1665, the 5513, the........ Empty wallet alert!

Fantastic work, a great achievement. Well done as always.

Glad we're back. Well done boffins.

Lovely piece. I remember when I used to work for Nick Urul just off Bond St he used to rave about bubblebacks, they were the vintage Rollie that everyone wanted. He was selling 5513's for about £600 then. Happy days.

Grilling on the deck, wearing that, probably washing the food down with a couple of cold ones. Jeez Louise some people don't know they're born. Very very nice WIIGH my friend

Fair play to him. I love stories like this.

They say more than entire careers these days.

Great tool and a pleasure to use I bet. I hope you enjoy using it for many years to come.
