I have send BK an email couple of days ago, waiting for an answer... How much is this one right now?

even if you shave the dial? I wounder if a 0.5mm shaved dial still looks ok, anyway...

Ahhh ok, next problem, never thought about the date... thank´s for the hint ;-) Would the MBW fit? @aeromatic: thats fantastic news

yes the pearl is damn ugly but the hole on the other pics is crying for a Yuki pearl ;-) Ha ha ha just got a cheap but nice vintage explorer II from Josh yesterday, just because I fall in love with the look, but wasn´t willed to spend a lot of money on it...

yeah mailed him throu ebay today, but only got a short answer, I tought he might be active on other forums with offers. a running auction is: 330398977594 if you get any news from him please keep me informed.... thank you ubiquitous

@ LHOOQ: do you know how to get in touch with him? Is someone offering his products?

As I never see all the details: Are they OK CG- and shape-wise? @Marco: there was only one auction on the bay this morning, maybe there is also another way to get those...

Not looking for an investment, looking for something for my workbench to work on in the evening ;-) I allready got everything from pic1 (with a 2836-2 movement + gen springbars), besides the Yuki dial and some 580 endlinks(which I am looking for a lot), and I actually don

Dear Kruzer, thank you for your very informativ reply, but in an other way it is confusing me. You say in my model (1680) the dial have to be shaved, but in the final you say I should pick a 1680. So do you know a MBW sub-case which goes fine with the Yuki 1680 red dial? Or vis-versa a Yuki dial which will go fine with the new MBW 1680 case? And last question: ETZ is also selling the "old" MBW 1680 cases, will the Yuki dial fit there? Once again thank you for help so far! I´m hanging on your lips...

As many of you know there is a guy (David Wong) who is selling very special and very nice asymetric Daytona cases, which are of very high quality, if you believe the threads. So now I found that he is also selling Sub cases like the 1680 case. Does anyone know those cases? Are they fine? For those who are interested in the long story: I´m about to build a nice 1680, got a new 1680 MBW, gen springbars, nice bracelet , clark crystal, gen crown and tube and now I´m planning to order a Yuki dial which will not fit in the new MBW case , so I´m thinking of getting another case... Options are right now: Yuki case (very expensive for a low level franken), an old MBW case from ETZ (I guess the Yuki dial will fit there) or a case from DW... but in the end I´m open to every hint. I don´t know if this is a nice thing to do but here are some pics from the case of an ebay action:

couldn

but the hole in the middle will fit?? Please give me at least a little light in the tunnel

How can you drimm a dial without making it "un-round"???

Yes with this "low price" vintage gens you always have think twice. Wait and collect money over the time or spend a lot of money pice by pice to end up with some watch that is still "just" a rep...

That is sad... Actually I decided to go with MBW to do mods like this and now I stuck with the large "submariner" on the dial... So only way to go is the Yuki case? How much is it, does someone know?

Hi! I´m planing a bit on my new project and before I buy all the stuff, I wounder whether one of you guys knows if a Yuki 1680 Dial fits into a new MBW 1680 Case. I know the dial feet will probably not fit, but that shouldn´t be a big problem. Here is a quote from the Yuki page to give you a hint: The diameter of the dial is 26.5 mm, the dial feet at 6 and 11'o clock. BTW: Will the Yuki hands for the Rolex 1570 movement fit on the ETA 2836-2 ?? Looking forward to your opinions and hints...

Looks nice to me. Wounder if you get the same effect when you install a Yuki pearl on the original MBW Insert... I got the other Version from Wholesaleoutlet990 for my 1665 project (pics are made after a little bleaching ;-) ) So I think yours is a lot nicer... Sorry for the shitty pics from my iPhone...

@ lanikai: Nice Explorer II, where did you get this from? Sorry for threadnapping, but I fall in love, so what can I do...

yeah, I once asked them with a gen sub but they told me they keep the one they exchange. but I didn

The linked thread is talking about gen inserts for 35 Pounds, are they serious???

Here you can find a sub with a carbon fibre dial: http://www.timeandgems.com/Black-Rolex-Submariner-DLC-With-Carbon-Fiber-Dial_p_384.html

Right! I know there was something different, it is upside down... :-)
