Building a 1680 is tougher these days- gen parts are few and far between. They're also very expensive and there's a bunch of fakes out there parading as gens.

I've built a few frankens with gen movements back in the day, but wouldn't do it these days. Servicing 1500 movements is getting tougher- 1530, 1520, 1560 and 1570-5.

If you have a decent watchmaker you'll probably be ok, but obviously you can't go to Rolex.

My recent 1680 was an old MBW which I was lucky to pick up. I put in an eta 2846-2, and a few gen parts and did some case reshaping. 

Your 1500 is going to be worth more than any franken you build.

Phong is still around, Rubyswatch.com has cases and dials, MQvintagewatches.com is in Vietnam.  Mochacha.com has dials.

 

Good to see you old friend. I still have my contact with Rolex but the more I think of it, the more sense it makes to leave the 1500 as is. Perhaps my wife will wear from time to time. 
 

Any “good to wear “ vintage subs similar to the old MBW’s?

Hello gents,

kinda wish I can get my original handle and history back as Justasgood but hey, ask around about me.  
 

so my Father passed away a few weeks ago and my mother gave me his 1500.   
 

I would like to build a 1680 using the movement but I have been out of the watchmaking process  for far too long. 
 

last build I did was my 1963 Gilt PCG with all Gen parts fitted to a Phong case. 
 

No idea where to look now and I am hoping the family here can help.  
 

anyone have any useable parts or know of where I can source what I need?

here is a view of some of my past builds/watches

and a great breakdown here:

Just wanted to reacquaint myself with old friends and introduce myself to the new members.

I have been away for quite some time and I really truly missed everyone.
