Looks Great !!! Love the T19 on the 1680

Looks great, but for 10k, I would be on the hunt for a red sub or a gilt sub...Maybe even a Tudor Gilt? Might be hard but not impossible to find a good example Jacek is one of the nicest and most professional dealers in vintage watches I have sold and bought from him, most recent being my 1680. Good Luck with your hunt.

Very Nice Intro. Welcome to the Forum. So I would like to know how you justified spending 6k on a rep to your wife.. lol I took me a year to convince my wife to let me buy a Rolex 1680. Even then she made me sell my Omega.

I agree. Cream white for me. Also you state Gen 93150 That's not gen 93150. That's a old PureTime 93150. Just wanted to make you aware in case you got taken. The crystal is from ebay. It's also not a top hat like yours, it's a Service T127, and an aftermarket one.

Would love a set for my 1680. 5.1 mil serial. Thanks

Another Great Build. Looks great !!

when someone likes your post, you get 1 point. I just liked your post. now you're up to 19

not worthy...

Very Nice. PM Sent

wow, looks amazing. You are a king of modern rolex replicas... Now you need to start repping 93150. K thx.

+1 I'm not worthy.. fuchsia insert and gilt dial ..

Love it Interesting read: https://www.hodinkee.com/blog/Albino-GMT-Master-6542

I'd kick him down to $500.. if he doesn't budge, I'll start going up. Stopping at 1k

Yikes... can you return it? that sucks

2 totally different watches. vintage has a many magical qualities. 1. It's light and flies under the radar 2. It's got history... boy if it could talk... 3. perfect size and comfort for my wrist of 7 inches 4. patina patina patina modern has many magical qualities 1. it's ugly 2. it's fat 3. it's blingy 4. it's heavy If it was me, I would get a rep of the 116710 and see how you like it. It's 90% same as crappy gen, and It's only a couple hundred bucks. Much harder to get get a good rep of a 1675 gilt.

oh man on man. Can't wait to see this completed

Try ST bezel assembly. Gen spec. Needs a good wear and polish though

My wife confiscated my Tudor Sub and refuses to give it back. Here she is with my beloved Tudor. I think I wore it once...

can't wait to see the dial !

Sorry I've been in the rep game long enough to never pay by gift, ever. Even trusted dealers, sellers and modders have been known to "disappear" with no apparent reason.

wow good job on the aging. Really gives it the vintage look paired with those shoes

gosh those 580's look horrible I just picked up 1 gen 580 end link for $50 and a pair of 501b for $45

To me, MQ looks better. I dont like the grooves and how "round" the caseback is on the Phong. Gen for comparison:
