Cats Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 Beautiful watch and great photo's Stilty. The green hue , on my rep dial and hands , during daylight made me decide to swap to the vintage lume again. Wear it well.

freddy333 Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 Outstanding watch. With the base cost of a gen movement & dial, I have to wonder, though, if you could have purchased a gen 1680 for not much more than you spent to build this franken? Of course, there is always the challenge/enjoyment of building it yourself, but I always question the value of building a franken that costs almost as much as the gen. But that is a personal decision & the watch is a stunner. Well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coolfire Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 Thanks for your kind comments everyone. Expensive yes, but I doubt anyone could find a gen for the price, unless it was totally beat and in non working order. 1570: $650 service: $150 date disc: $250 case set: $420 dial and hand set: $500 insert: $100 crystal: $60 nos tube: $40 crown: $60 93150: $350 labour and part sourcing: priceless! LOL Total: $2600 But the price will go up as I need a replacement buckle... I see now why I got the bracelet so cheap. Wonderful work done there, dude... I concur with the 'labour and part sourcing: priceless' part! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 Expensive yes, but I doubt anyone could find a gen for the price, unless it was totally beat and in non working order. 1570: $650 service: $150 93150: $350 I am amazed that you found these items so cheaply. Even in poor condition, they tend to cost nearly twice as much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sconehead Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 Gorgeous...Is the Yuki case 1:1 as they claim it to be and do you rate their 'refinished dials'? Guess you got the 1570 off the bay in a datejust or similar... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
