It would be nice if someone would report this fool! I'm having a hard time navigating the Italian, would be glad to do it if I could find the 'report this item' phrase is Italiano!

Yes, but the proportions of the hands they have on offer aren’t the best.

Do you know if they reply fast normally? I sent an email but no reply. Also what is the watch in your picture? Cartel?

HR will do a custom lume for you in any colour you want. Just ask. For the price the dial is excellent.

not bad, do they provide hands in same color?

The cartel dial isn’t terrible, but the lume pretty much is

fakes are never identical, it is simply an impossibility from a production point of view, never mind cost constraints.

that sonething I don’t get. The writings are printed with sponge printing or something. Just take an original dial and scan the writings then create a perfect replica in software like Adobe Illustrator (Vector graphics) and make the stamp. Boom, you have the perfect stamp. 

I’ll try to explain better. Who makes dials that are identical or very close in regards to fonts and logo in the writing? I think Cartel is quite close to 1680 red mkiv or mkv dial (can’t remember which one).

Yes, I’m talking about Yuki ETA 1680 dial. Is it better than Cartel? And is Helenarou better? Are writings more like gen?

How good is a Yuki if compared to the Cartel one really? Can the ETA one be installed on the 2183 ?

Also, are there better options for ETA than Yuki?

Next time you have a '1680' apart, measure the diameter of the case neck, it should be 28.2mm

Did you ever put a Yuki dial in a JK case?

This is how it appeared on stock. The lens magnifies too much.

It’s loose but doesn’t play. I used g-s hypo cement to glue it. The lens is much better.

Should be XS303.430 

I used glue for the sternkreuz too but it was difficult to remove the original.

Hi, yesterday I got a JK 1680 from HK. I had one some years ago and I was keeping a Sternkreuz glass to replace the one that comes with the watch (the lens magnifies too much).

To my surprise I found the glass was glued to the case. I had to dismantle everything and use a pipe wrench to get a grip and remove it. The crown seems also smaller (thinner) than the past.

Do we have comparison pics for these JK watches over the years? I got it from Marvellousreplica.
 

In the pic my gen 1675 and JK 1680.

Hello . I replaced the crystal of my 1675 with a Clark 116 however it seems to me the lens in it is not perfectly square shaped and it magnifies less then the crystal I had originally. Can anyone confirm?

oh ok they are fakes.

Are they made from original parts or fake?
