'A special movement ring to fit the dial'
Interesting ..
@docthor do you know if Domi changed hands height with pinion/gear h4 ? Seem that the hands are correctly spaced from the dial..

Hi !

 

sorry if maybe other have already open the same question , but i can't find this watch on TD website, i found only the 42mm on Silix.

 

but I'm looking for the 38mm like the watch sold in the link below,  with the amazing rotor like the gen !

 

 

Fantastic

Ok..

but the new one (old mbw) work properly ?

 

 

But you aren't waiting the new parts bezel assembly?

And nice coupe' ..

On this 3D on homageforum if I understand correctly seem that the wso bezel assembly have many problem ..

http://www.homageforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=25&p=354731

Rolex addict was not able to fix my 1680, so I think that is near impossibile to find a cheap solution ..

I think you have to buy many parts (an entire bezel assembly )more than 200€ and maybe don't work..

I hope you find a solution , if it will be under 150€ i can follow your solution to fix this [censored] bezel assembly.

Tks

Very helpful and interesting. Will experiment. Thankyou.

And the cost is = 0
;-)

Interesting info Dan71. How long did the tape last before you had to replace it?

 

I have try the last week with this transparent tape..

But before I have try with another black tape and he worked for months..the black tape was over the retaining ring where it is in contact with the plexiglass .

The idea was to enlarge the diameter between the retaining ring (in contact with the plexiglass) and the bezel where there is the gap of diameter..

 

Now the tape (the transparent one) is also on the edge of the retaining ring , so I have fill the gap diameter between the bezel and where the bezel get stuck on the edge of the retaining ring ..

 

The black was too thick so was not good for the edge of the retaining ring and the bezel don't rotate..

 

The transparent tape is thin but also strong so it work ..

 

I hope it is clear is not simple explains in EN is my second language..

 

 

 

I had also the problem that the bezel pop off..

 

So my poor solution is to removed the friction ring that pushed off the bezel.

 

But than the bezel was too much loose..and also too easy to lose the bezel on the road :-(

so I put some tape (the matte transparent one, see pic) over the retaining ring edge ,to make little thickeness the diameter.

 

Now the bezel is more stable but is not glued so I can rotate it , is hard to move but rotate ..for a presumed 40 years old watch I think that is accettabile that the bezel don rotate easily ..

 

 

 

Yes. !!. Is the paper gen or did you print a copy and age. Looks great

 Ciao!

Another my experiment ..I have bought

Gen guarantee from 70/75 (green square on border) and from 75/80 (green crown on border) I have try to replicate them ...

 

Above is my guarantee rep 70/80 for my 1680, not too bad for pics show..

 

 

New entry box 68.00.3

wow great piece and to have a complete set like you have makes it feel more gen!
great work, wear it well

Thank you ..

Add WSO endlink , now is another planet!

I saw months ago a gen 1680 and the endlink was exactly like these WSO !

Not to bad the yuki ..but I prefer the WSO with thin number (see Alligoat pic above) similar to a gen service insert.

The second have n 4 with serif so I think gen

 

And the first yuki ?

 

 

 

 

Yes I'm asking if yuki have correct fat font numbers for 1680 and if there is other big flaws that I can't see on it.

The insert on my eBay link (that maybe is = WSO) in my opinion is not to bad , is similar to the gen service: tiny number(not fat), number 4 with top little squared, little space between the top of each numbers and edge of the insert, fat indices between numbers.

Yeah I don't know how you guys can tell the difference between a gen insert and a high quality insert like Yuki.   You guys amaze me.

@RickFlorida do you mean that yuki bezel-insert is the best for the 1680 ? On his website I saw only one bezel insert named 'rolex sea-dweller submariner bezel insert'

http://www.yukiwatch.com/catalog/item/9020785/10270361.htm

Maybe it is the same insert and the guy on ebay ( my link) buy it from WSO and than only faded it ..

But how many watch do you have ? :-O

Tks Alligoat

Yes the insert of my link seem a gen service insert !

Your link show only a pearl.. and I have already a yuki pearl (Rolexaddict says that but I'm not sure..)

Or do you mean that wso have a better bezel alluminium insert ?

Nobody? :-(

Hi,

i need your skilled opinion,

i saw on ebay these faded rep insert, what do you think ? there are big flaws Vs gen insert ? 

the line between the number seem gen-style thicker than the cartel one..and on the top of the number there is a little space like gen.

the diameter seem correct for cartel bezel..Outer diameter 36.50mm, Inner diameter 30.20mm

link and pics example
