Hi guys. Tried searching but couldn’t find hit. Anyway will the current yuki snowflake casebacks fit a 1680 mbw case? Was thinking of converting a 1680 to a Tudor snowflake sub. Thanks.

more pics pleeease...

This inspired me to resurrect my 1665 project here's the little brother..

nice Emerson, nicer watch...

1665 drsd mk 2 (26.5mm)

I've had both watches but h factory and it exhibits the same phenomenon. The 005 will stand out more even when i switched cases. I think it has something to do with the specific dial color and the sausage lume which can be more distinct at every angle. Shown here is an h fact 005 and a 177

nice strap, great watch...can you send close up pics of the cg?

This isnt ghetto at all... Nice work Can anyone with a basic knowledge on 6497's do this?

I'll definitely do that. Thanks for the tip dutchguy ...and so the modding continues...

What are the tells my friend? please enlighten me..

Its an MBK 1680 case converted to a 5513 from Reg. Yuki insert, pearl and dial. Hand is a mix of mbk and yuki. Gen crown. The bracelet from josh's 5513. Crystal is from a rep 1665 high dome. CG's were trimmed with the base slightly recessed.

Thanks man...I guess i'll just hold off the bleach and the can of nails for now.

Thanks Andy, I actually tried to bake the dial and hands under a halogen light and a bread toaster when I first got it. It didnt creme up and the paint started to bubble a bit. Good thing it flattened out when it cooled down.

As they say the modding never ends. I just finished installing a gen crown on this and noe the vintage bug has me thinking. Should I age the insert and creme the markers and hands? or leave it as is? BTW this has a rep superdome from my 1665. I kinda like the way it looks. Clarks t19 was a tight fit and seemed wokkier.

Can the cannon pinion be modified flush on these? This was a dealbreaker for me.
