I have debated too long whether I should have a yellow or white lumed 1680. It is funny how just changing the lume color affects the whole look of the watch ! It is literally a different watch, and I am now convinced it makes perfect sense to have both if this reference is among your favorites.... Viet Mid cases and bezels, DW casebacks and DWOs, PT dial for the yellow lume, DW dial for the white lume, Athaya crowns, crystals from Ebay, not sure of the maker... Gen 93150, TC hands for the white, PT hands for the yellow.

Any help or input will be appreciated. I would like some opinions on choosing between a good re-lume of the rep dial of a cartel 1680 (to improve shape and color) vs. installing a Yuki gen spec dial which might involve shaving the dial (from 26.5 down to 26mm) to make it fit the cartel case. If you have a preference between the two I would appreciate your input. Also, if you know someone who would/could do either of those two things I would appreciate your recommendations. Thanks.

An other project I completed this summer. For those who remember this 1680, it used to be fitted in a pretty poor mid case.... Now, it is all correct !!! Vietnam mid case and bezel, DW caseback, PT 702, PT dial, DW DWO, Cartel links, Gen clasp, Verlux crystal, gen ETA slow beat, PT dial.
