  1. CWP - which I think means "classicwatchparts.com", but I'm not sure. Can anyone tell me which crown and tube reference are correct for this model? (is this correct?) drury
  2. Okay so here goes: I filed it down a bit and made some pics. Is that enough or should I do a bit more? And here another pics of the CGs ... I'll have to see about those: What crown is correct for this model? drury
  3. How far down should the insert be? Here is the original list of mods by "toomuchgear" * Silix-Prime 1675 base watch with the correct THIN case * Serviced 2836 with GMT module (I'm guessing it's an Asian ETA). Please Note: the movement keeps excellent time but the GMT hand now slips and is not adjustable in the 1st crown position. However the date can still be quick set. * Custom redial in a gilt, glossy finish by CWP * H,M,S hands replaced with CWP vintage lumed hands, the stock GMT hand was tinted to add patina * Lug holes have been drilled to accept genuine springbars, the crown side lug holes were countersunk a bit more than the opposite side * Case has been aged (some scratches and dings) and lugs and crown guards slighly reshaped for a more square appearence with the edges softened * Caseback replaced with one from a vintage sub that has a better shape and aged with dings, scratches and polishing * Bezel was milled down to make it thinner per the gen and the insert bleached and scuffed * Aftermarket Clarks Tropic 116 crystal that has been sanded down for a lower profile and glued in place, a large scratch is on the cylops towards the top drury
  4. Hi there, I just got this 1675 back from repair and wanted to ask what you think about it. How could I mod it further, how close is it to the gen? Thanks, drury
