  1. Hi,

    I want to finish my red sub 1680 project and I miss the bezel set :/

    I saw this ad on Ebay (http://cgi.ebay.fr/w...984.m1423.l2649), it's a little expensive for my budget but I will try to take it.

    Could you tell me if the look is ok and if the price is correct?

    Thx

    If it will fit your 1680, this one is the better value: click ok, it's the blue one, buy an additional insert or take the complete set.

    The quality is good and delivery fast, plus it fits better in your budget :)

  2. but my dream car is one almost no one has ever heard of - The Borgward Isabella Coupe has my heart

    Not only a classic design and a good choice (my father co-estabward interest group in Germany back many years... and we had "some" Isabellas) also a durable one.

    Once restored to a good level and you can enjoy it for years and years!

    Mine is more on the sportive side.

    A one-off based on a very rare base - No.003 of only 4 Bizzarrini P538.

    And it is the Bizzarrini Manta build by Italdesign. Currently owned by a private collector in the states, but I'll kill him or the car :bangin:

  3. I think either you were wrong with the reference or you got a Franken.

    The ref. 160xx were introduced in 1977 with the new movement 3035 so all 5-digit DJs have quickset - that was the new selling point!

    4-digit DJs had the 1575 movement, but not the 1570 which ewas used in Subs, Ex1 etc.

    16030 has a machine turned steel bezel while our bezel is the fluted one from the 1601/1601x models...

  4. Looks outstanding, but the dial paint looks fine. Why in the world would you modify/relume a gen dial (which seriously mars its value)? :g:

    Well, if the lume is crumbling off or the dial has been washed a relume w/o luminous would give the original look...

  5. yeah i saw that one, can that strap be changed?

    Yepp, you can exchange for any other Nato strap or mount anordinary bracelet...

    For real diving I just wear my wathces on Nato as I nearly lost my gen SD when the clasp broke!

  6. If you buy a golden Rolex, you don't pay for the gold, you pay for the fame!

    I had a 1967 YG DD which I had restored through my watchmaker and took a day off to look over his shoulder during work.

    It was a great day and a stunning result.

    Well, the "good old times"...
