  1. I did not pick him up on the 1680 reference, assumed he'd just left a 0 off by mistake - clearly he's asking about the QUALITY of the dial.

    As a transitional 16800 redial though it's not a bad example - but not worth 400usd nowhere near, a third of that at best.

    I did not think that you don't know it's for a 16800!! ;)

    But it was only funny to read his question about the L on a 1680 dial with 1000ft!!

    Referring to you I think you are totally right! The dial is not bad, but I think it would be

    possible to do some betters!

    Why aren't those who make these dials not able to look at a genuine one and make a good

    replica of those? It couldn't be so difficult, isn't it?

  2. Hello,

    I'm searching someone who could do some little mods for me in Germany.

    It's about installing a gen tube and crown and to fit a gen T39 crystal.

    If anyone knows someone to do this or would do it by himself, please let me know!!

    I do not have the 1665 right now, because without knowing these mods to be done

    I don't want to buy it.

    Kind regards

    Chris

  3. Hi,

    thank you for your answers so far!

    I didn't expect to get a genuine case,

    because in that case it would be a gen

    watch, and the price would be so.

    But a good aftermarket case with the right

    dimensions to fit gen parts, like tropic 19

    or gen tube, that would be fine.

    If you know something, please let me know!!

    Regards

    Chris

  4. Hi,

    right, the inner box with the card is the right one.

    The outer box depends on the year the 1680 was

    produced. The earlier 70s models should have a

    seahorse outer box, the ones from the late 70s or

    early 80s have the box you showed in the pics.

    But this is no hard rule, sometimes the dealers gave

    another box to the watch.... :rolleyes:

    Hope this helps!

    Regards
