K,

This project would still be circling the airport if it weren't for your generosity and willingness to assist. Thank you for your help in getting this one back on the ground.

A photo i edited earlier seams appropriate

And i gen pic i found earlyer while surfing

[vlydog]

I have it too A. It is nothing like anything I have ever experienced before.

Misery loves company

You know today i had to rip my harley motor out and take it apart to the last part (crank problem) i used to take watches off so i dont mark the bike with them, i did not even think of taking this watch off, then i went bush hogging in my garden still with it on, lots of dirt and hard work! ,it just wants to be worn for every thing. I used to think a 16800 was the best as it was sapphire with the older dial but the plexi is just so nice to look through.

Home to roost:

B is that a hacking 1570 in there or the earlyer non hacking version, the hacking version came in 73 or there abouts apparently

[vlydog]

Non hacking A.

This is also my first non-quickset model and my first long-haul date change moving from the 17th to the 14th upon its arrival.

[Dizzy]

absolutely awesome 1680!!!

I wonder where your case is from? Are there any serial numbers on it or anything that might help us trace its origins? I know you can get a 1570 into a 1665 MBW but the stem wont line up on the MBW 1680 case... hhmm.. looks like you found a good one!

Congrats

wear it well

[ubiquitous]

I'm not sure how I missed this one, but congrats! This one is a stunning example and looks great! Top list of parts in this one for certain!

I bet it rarely sees time off the wrist, eh?

Thank you so much for the kind words. This one has a 3 million serial number. I purchased it from a well respected veteran member who had it sitting in his parts box. He came to my rescue after my failing with a Yuki case.

Thank you R!

A real compliment for sure coming from you. It has been a fixture on my wrist since it arrived. I think the silver date-wheel is my favorite part along with tall profile of the top-hat crystal.

Simply amazing! This is the project I Dream of starting. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for the kind words. Stop dreaming and get started.
