Champagnesky

1968, the case number refers to a Genève.

Sorry my bad didn’t understand it was the A260 movement. 😂

There were no subs made with the 600 series movements so I dont see any reason why you should use it. I have never seen builds with that caliber either.

Fun project, they look pretty cool actually. Let us know what parts you used.

Probably a VN Blancpain FF case, if I find a way to mod all that needs to be changed, and thats alot

I would say gen. I usually look at the thickness of the bars inside the Circle of the hour hand and the size of the triangle on top of it.

Looks pretty wasted, not worth it?

Who made this one?

hmm the reason why im asking is because I have a mbw and the spacing on the coronet is not as correct as it is on yours. Great looking watch!

What dial is this?

Can you pm me, i cant pm you for some reason Tapatalk pmd you

I’ve been in touch with a guy who makes these cases. Can ask him about a group discount.

Fantastic! Have never seen rep 93160, what’s the source?

Are these hard to find?

Damn this looks good

What dial is this? My whoopy says Hello

wow awesome work mate.

Hi folks. I. My 1665 bezel was sitting very loose so I’ve opened it so I could bend the tension ring a little. After figuring out how to remove the bezel from the retaining ring I’ve found out that there wasn’t any tension ring between, so I’ve got one from Phong. Unfortunately the tension ring doesent fit - probably because the cartel bezel is not gen spec. Is there a way to tighten the bezel without creating a custom one or using dental floss ?

Wow great work mate, looks spot on. The dial is the same as ruby offers. I think i Will order this one too. Skickat från min iPhone med Tapatalk

Ive been on a hunt for a good mk4-mk5-mk6 dial for a long time now, unfortunately ive seen good dials only from Phong and Ming, but they are pricey = 350 bucks. Almost all vietnamese dials ive seen have flaw that the coronet is too far away from the 12 oclock triangle, unfortunately that will bug you out with time. Also some have really weird serifs on the ROLEX text, you can see it on the second link on the "L".

Mind PM:ing where u got the watch? Going to Vietnam this winter on holidays, always wanted a vintage FF Skickat från min iPhone med Tapatalk

Ok, good to know, I was actually really happy with my MBW 1680 until i actually compared it to gen dials. It looks like all rep 1680 red mk4-mk6 dials have the wrong spacing between the 12 o´clock triangle and the coronet logo. I think Phong is the only one who has a decent 1680 red dial.

Do all MBW 1680 cases have the gasket groove under the retainer ring? If yes, are they then replicating the later 70ies case that is more correct with a mk4-6 dial?
