Nanuq Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 Ahhhhh, you think a SD disappears on your wrist? Wait till you put on a 1675. That case is so thin and it's so doggone useful you'll never want to take it off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FxrAndy Posted March 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 I tell you one thing the slower beat movement is really apparent, spoilt for years with 28800 you really see the 21600 tick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panther917 Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 Excellent Post Andy.....Very inspiring to me.....I have been thinking about a similar "birthday watch" as I turn 40 this year too.....I have never modded a watch and this is the one that I would want to try. Not sure I have the steady hand and patience but you and the rest on this board have given me a great education nonetheless..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FxrAndy Posted April 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2010 No new photos but i have just recessed the bezel insert just a touch after looking and pics all week, it is just enough to catch and hold a fingernail but the insert is still press in so i am happy with that. And i got yo use my lathe again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HauteHippie Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 Simply lovely, Andy. And I love the jig for the case hole drilling. That is brilliant. Please pass it around to your fellow modders! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 Looking great and I very much so enjoyed reading your first week spent with this one. Looking forward to seeing how the 1680 turns out as well! All the best, //ubi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted April 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 Well i have just done the relume in light ivory tritec white/yellow/foundation mix, the lugs are drilled, crown guards modded, bezel pearl lumed and aged a little, hopefully the gen tubes will arrive tomorrow.
