Comment terrible! Mais je ne suis pas offens

My god, I meant is it the white or the red you mean Monsieur Nanuq

Fair enough!

You might have a look at that bezel insert... it sits high in the bezel and you don't want to catch it on something and lose the insert. See if you can snap it down deeper into the bezel?

Nice piece!

I guess you mean on the Red One ?

Just remember yer old pal Nanuq when it's time to sell that red 1680!

Aargh...I guess that I won't ever sell it Nanuq.

And, as promised, if I ever want to do so, I would first propose it to Edge

Dear All,

Some might know that I try to fulfil a cute project, a couple of 1680.

I got the Red one from Edge and she's is a real beauty .

I got the White one from TTK, an MBW, but she needs some serious mods.

So, Edge and I are looking to reproduce his efforts on the White one now.

What do we want to achieve?

Well, on the red one, here are the mods done by Edge (With a little help from his friends):

CG's Reshaped

Crown and Tube exchanged for Genuine

Bezel and Dial exchanged for Excellent, Aged Replacements

Genuine Bezel pearl

End Links Modified and Adapted to Accept Gen Springbars

Genuine Springbars

Bracelet Modified to Accept Gen Spring bars

Case completely refinished, to be aged, and smoothed.

Case Lugs Drilled for Gen bars

Bracelet refinished

Fully waterproofed

Regulated

Genuine Tropic.

We look forward to do the same on the White one.

What do we need ?

Well, basicly, whatever you might have and are willing to sell.

Conclusion

"With a little help from our friends"

Thanks for reading.

Cheers

Stephane

Welcome, i hope you did not buy from the others, global ect, you will find some very knowledgeable collectors here, especially in the VIP area.

Welcome, and yes, the VIP area is where one should go right away

@By-Tor: I'm sure Pug will consider your offer

@ Nanuq: it's my boy's favourite Action Man for bath time

Definately would like to be # 6.

Agreed.

Even older now, I can't stop looking at such beauties

@Stephane: I love that Speedy.

I know...and feel a little sorry to show it here knowing you like it so much

Now, maybe I can pass it to you for a while so you can decide if you would want one

(I'm not selling it though )

I'll probably go for one or all of these over the week-end:

My latest arrival

The Speedy with a new case back

My most moded one

Probably my favourite watch model

I have a VC and a Ingy but still have to get a Nautillus and a AP RO

Can't decide which versions of the Nautillus and AP RO are the best ones ...very confusing.

If I had to use a Clarks instead of a gen, I'd be perfectly happy with it.

Well, that is a good news.

And, first of all, thanks for these explanations to all of you.

It's a great thread like many started by Freddy.

Now, if a Clark is way cheaper, I think it's the way to go.

After all, if differences are that small, how the hell could anybody else but an expert of RWG notice it ?

Probably not me anyway

Cheers

Stephane

Did you notice something???Sorry the post is edit....find out why!

Hmmm, no, I did not

Nice work, Pug. I would love to see full frontals of each.

Very nice indeed. Me too !!!

More pics more pics !

in this game patience is a virtue.

Absolutely. Allways got what I ordered even if can take some time.

According to the majority of the experts of this forum, the mvt you show in your picture (2836-2 or 2824-2) is bullet proof.

And yes, it is an ETA (wheter it's assembled in China doesn't really matter)

Having said that, when you get a watch, allways check the inside...

Cheers

Stephane

Wow, congrats ElPriMero !

That is beautifull, really.

Στέφανος

Very nice

Wow, great to see this one bumped.

It was one of my most intense post. Loads of reading and search.

I still love the watch but didn't wear it for a couple of months.

I might change my mind now

I cannot find it either, but I'll bet it is the solid 18K gold Franck Muller ...

1.688 $

:velho:

Yeah both links are not goign were you want them too.

Same for me

Why not copy a pic and tell the price ?

How can a person be "worth 380 million"?

Proof that world is completely [censored] up... at times it feels like money is what everybody cares/talks about these days... and all this money crap gets pushed by the media... I've said it before... people have cash registers where their hearts should be. Pathetic.

So true !

At least some rich guys give away a good share of what they earn...Maybe The Stones do too after all ? Who knows.

I like to think they do.

I like them so much eventhough they made me waste several hundred $$ on hotels and planes on their last tour cancelling some dates.

Good luck

Must be really strange not wearing a watch though.

Are there people/dealer in UK available to buy for you a watch and send it to your eu country ?

Thanks a lot Stephane of your attention

Yes there are: Narika, PT (Precious Time) for good Eta Subs and TTK for MBW.

I don't know what your budget is, but if you have some cash, go for a MBW right away. It will save you to have 3 subs before finaly going for a 350$ MBW anyway.

Cheers

Stephane

TTK: http://www.rwg.cc/members/MBW-16610-Submariner-t24074.html

are you meaning MBK or MBW or Msd or Wus ????

Seriously, the cyclop is way too far right but that doesn't help in fact as it could be the picture...

If you paid that price, my guess you do not loose money anyway.
