  1. Akira my puretime 1680 was the redsub one with 2846 eta i used this for my old 5513 build and fitted a 26mm gen spec dial without modding , but my blue snowflake sub build was a trusty 1680 again the 2846 eta version this one did not fit and i had to fit a thin stainless steel ring or washer to make up the difference as the rehaunt was also 26mm same as my snowflake dial these differences tell me that trusty and puretime were different makers or versions This is puretimes 1680 without modding This is trustys 1680 with added thin ring modded to fit a 26mm dial in a 26mm rehaunt you can just make out the ring between the dial and rehaunt to the naked eye it just looks like part of the rehaunt Here is a better photo showing in detail Some more photos of these two watches
  2. I am a big fan now of these old 2472 & 2451 ETA movements they really look at home in these vintage rolex builds slow beat around 18000 beats closest you can get to the vintage gen movements IMHO ! i purchased 4 of them so far very cheap and after a full service keep very good time !
  3. Few more photos !!! Notice the last link is a solid link added as i have a big wrist and these short clasps always make the strap tight why cant they add extra link i may fit a normal diver extension/clasp with the longer clasp
  4. Yes i used to like aged builds but less so now at work under the strong spotlights my well aged 5513 cartel build looks terrible !!! although in natural light looks okl !!
  5. Thanks monkey !!! scroll down i have added the specs finally !!
  6. Thanks again to Member georgeloiz for his valued help putting this watch together !
  7. Thanks rower ! i agree that the right amount of ageing is best unlike my cartel 5513 over aged !
  8. Thanks ! sorry guys i was in the middle of my post and had to leave for a birthday party so i dident get round to add the specs ! Specs are Yuki 5513 case set Insert Yuki Dial unknown purchased from rwg member highoeyazmuhudee (I hope i wrote that correct ) cartel folded bracelet swiss eta 2472 (may upgrade to gen movement later ) Gen crown aftermarket tube Yuki crystal (I was going to fit a clark but decided to stay with the one that came with the case) Rafflestime hand set ( yukiwatch handset on order ) i usually get goods hands from raffles but these i dont like )

This is why i like the helenarou eta merc hands they are flat the hour hand is longer on the helenarou i have them fitted on my tudor rose and 6538 raffles build sub which has 29mm dial not sure if the would look ok on my 26mm yuki 6538 build i fitted the ones yuki sent me on that Helenarou Dial and flat hands (Eta movements)
