Yesterday i held a gen mid 80's Pepsi GMT, it was beautifully aged and well used. So today i just had to do some work to my new 1680 rep.
I took some photos along the way, thought I'd share them with you.

A good way to fit the bezel insert, the 29mm was a perfect fit:
Sadly enough the weather was cloudy so the results are not so apparent, but trust me those screws did their job.
Kinda finished, the small parts of glue are now long gone, sadly my glue was a bit thick so the insert sits a bit high, going to fix that later:
With the bracelet on, think I'm going to buy a black/grey bond style nato for this one:
In summary i had a very fun time modding this watch, and the budget still is a neat 68
