DSSD and MBW 1680

Size Comparison between a DSSD (from Precious Time - ordered

mid May - Asian ETA) and a modded MBW 1680 from the

original George.

Just the Gio paint mod to the DSSD.

Grown Guards, Gen Dial, Gen Tropic 127, Upgraded Bezel, Gen Pearl,

Gen 93150 Bracelet, Drilled Lug Holes, Gen Springbars,

Gen Crown and Tube, and service by the Zigmeister on the 1680.

The DSSD looks and feels gigantic when you first put it on.

After 15 or 15 minutes, I don't notice the difference.

The sane goes when switching back to the 1680 - feels like a toy

at first - after 15/20 minutes - no difference.

Nice comparison- new versus vintage.

BTW, how did you manage to fit a gen dial in an MBW case? I thought the gen dials were slightly larger than the case and had to be trimmed to fit in there.

Yes, Alligoat, you are correct. The modder had to trim the dial to fit it in the MBW case.

I didn't think much about it at the time. Now, every once in a while I have a few pangs of regret. The gen white dials were fairly easy to come buy back in 2006 - priced right too.

I paid less than $100 for the white tritium dial in mint condition. Now these dials are selling for as much as $500/600. Mine was devalued when it was trimmed, and is marketable only

to someone who wants to put a gen dial in an old MBW case.
