Hi!
A couple of months ago I received my MBW 1680 Red from Reg (nices deal EVER!!!)
but after a while I decided to build my self a Yuki 1680 franken
So I had this MBW 1680 lying around with no wristtime, as the Yuki one was clearly a lot more accurate.
Then I saw this pic:
and fall for it.
Ordered a (at this time) custommade 5512 with white markers, which was found by customs and I never received it.
So Yuki made me a nice deal and I ordered a new one, which I received today.
Nothing on my list I started to do the mod immidatly.
changed the crystal with a nice clark 19 crystal (needed a LOT of pressure, but then it worked fine)
And changed the dial. The cool thing was that my MBW was a new version so the 26mm Yuki dial perfectly fitted in there. ( for the record: New MBW 1680 Red dial is 26mm not 26.5mm as gen)
So here is the result.
Still need to do a bit of a case job, but not today. need to do homework to see what have to be changed, because at the moment I don´t see the difference.
Enjoy:
The thing I want to say with this thread is, as this was discussed a lot before: Yuki 1680 dial will not fit in a new MBW Case but 5512 dial fits like a clove...Also, if you got balls, you can fit a 19 crystal on a MBW 1680 case
And I also wanted to prove that I am just unable to make nice pics :-(
