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

Can someone tell me the rehaut diameter of the Josh 1680?

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

Beautiful build. Love the movement!!

Thank you Panerai153 !!

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 !

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

More nice builds !!! congrats !!!!

I think yours looks better than the gen! 

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 !!

Nice! What are the specs?

Thanks monkey !!! scroll down i have added the specs finally !!

PS yes specs movement etc..............

 Thanks man !!!!

That's a stunning watch love it.

Thank you sir !!!!

Thanks again to Member georgeloiz for his valued help putting this watch together !

I think yours looks better than the gen! Great job with just the right amount of aging. Many over do the aging, yours is perfect.

Thanks rower ! i agree that the right amount of ageing is best unlike my cartel 5513 over aged !

Thanks for the 6542 pics super watch  , Gen ? i would say at a guess the ceramic gmt , twotone sub , and black dial pepsi or gold date just ?

Can we see the white dialed gmt In detail ? super collection you have there Pan  !!!!! this will be my next build !!

Custom for me today !

6538 hands aren't beveled, they are flat.

 

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)

Merry Xmas

Love It !!!!
