Thanks guys. I got the strap off a strap maker on Etsy. Came from Vietnam. Turned out very nice.

Swapped in a GS t19 service dome. Doesn't fit as well and I wouldn't dream of getting it wet, but I think I like the look a tad better. Which do you prefer?

Great work!

I don't like it..... I LOVE it! Dial is great. How did you find a Whoopy 1016 these days?

Very good build! And I like the post with links, great stuff.

PT 1680 Case with crownguards lightly modified PT dial--date window ever so slightly enlarged. Multiple coats of matte spray Aftermarket bezel assembly and insert of unknown origin but bet good quality Gen 703 crown Rep t-39 Superdome Crystal. Serviced Eta 2846 Hands I had mixed in the parts bin.

My latest 1680 budget creation on a custom strap that just makes it look a ton better!

Very nice Rolojack! Care to share any techniques on modifying the 580 end links? I have thought about pulling out the Dremel put don't want to go at it blindly.

Looks spectacular. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

This is very good! Now more importantly, how about engravings between the lugs?!

Delicious!

That is going to be nice!

I have used Yuki for several things including dials and customer service always good and products decent too. But their 5513 dials are gen spec size 26. I see InGod has 26.5 but I too have not had success in communicating with them which concerns me. Phong is too expensive for this budget application.

Yeah, I actually have a 1680 red already with his dial. I would do the milsub too but need a 26.5mm version to fit the case. Thanks though!

Does anyone know where I could find a decent 5512 or 5513 dial in 26.5mm diameter? I have a spare PT1680 case lying around and was thinking of putting together a 5513 out of it but would need the larger-than-gen dial to fit the 1680 case. Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the info. Did you lume over the Yuki or did you have to remove what they had already done?

Great build! Nice lume job too...how did the Yuki lume look compared to what it is now?

Really, really, really nice!

That's crisp baby!

Back on bracelet today. Just can decide if I prefer it in strap or bracelet!

Hi automatico! I purchased the case separately off the forum here quite some time ago. Needed a bezel so thought I would give the inexpensive Clark's version a try. I did have to slightly sand the bottom lip of the gen crystal (it was used and reasonable cost so I thought worth a try) to get the retaining ring to fit. It worked and now fits perfectly and rotation is smooth and gen-like.

Finally got around to adding lume to my Whoopy 1680 red. Had some white lume so decided to go with the "new lume" look for a change. Definitely adds depth to the dial. Might need to hit it with another shot of Matte spray to knock out the lume shine and add even more depth. But for now this will do. Tinkering is the best part of repdom!

Makes you think these "experts" do some quick Internet research to come up with their "knowledge".

Nice! Does the T-21 require a different retaining ring that the 22?
