smc Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 Dude that's amazing. I'm going to start this project as well because I like yours so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 Great job T. As Freddy says, you did a good job on the movement and servicing. Seems like I picked up a decent 93150 clasp on the bay a while back for $150- but I quit keeping track of costs, lest my wife finds out! That lume on that dial and hands is very nice and altogether it's a great package- a like new 1680! Congrats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoJo35 Posted August 2, 2009 Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 Great job T! The watch looks fantastic You certainly did get lucky finding the gen movement and bracelet so inexpensive. Bracelets usually go for 600+, and movements about a grand You'll have to wear this one during the next GTG. I'd love to see it up close Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vlydog Posted August 2, 2009 Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 Great looking watch. You must be swelled with a great sense of accomplishment. The silver date disc really makes the watch. WIW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rolexmaniac88 Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 Great job with this 5513 ! Wear it well ! The 1680 has always been one of my favourite. I haven't seen this post previously and i cannot help but wonder what is this submariner with james bond nato ??? It looks like an early 16610 because of the lugholes. Where did you get it?

panerai153 Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 Beautiful watch. I really like the "New" service dial and hands look.I agree, with you about the vintage lume, It's really hard to get the hands and dial to match. Congratulations on a great project Arthur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dizzy Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 Awesome 1680!!! You got some good prices there. Movement especially. Even if you end up spending $3000 then you are still half of the gen price and the only thing you would even need is a gen case if u ever came across one.
