cousin_hub Posted April 29, 2010 Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 Hi what do you think of this 1680 on Trusty site ? 1680 regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prdubis Posted April 29, 2010 Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 Hi, I've got this one...Crystal is great, datewheel is correct with silver background, flat 3 and open 6 and 9, but you'll definitely have to replace the crown with a genuine one... Bracelet will need some vintagizing and oiling too... The pearl is really close to gen, insert looks OK, but the bezel rotates too easily for a supposed 30-something year old watch...

cousin_hub Posted April 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 Hi thanks :-) And what the movement ETA 2846 ? Is it a real one ? No problem with it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prdubis Posted April 29, 2010 Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 It's a slow beat movement, 21 600 bpm (genuine is 19 900). ETA doesn't produce them, chinese factories have new old stock...it's working great on mine... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cousin_hub Posted April 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 Ok thanks No need to be serviced ? And the only flaw is the crown for you ? Is there anything else ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted April 29, 2010 Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 Only other flaw is the crown guards- you need to file the inside edges- make them look more like the gens- look at this gen 1680 on the right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
