Watchmeister Posted May 15, 2010 Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 A forum member was asking me about MBW red subs this morning so I started digging around the watch box and came up with this one. These pics are for him. Vets will get a kick out of this one. I did it years ago and over the years it has been touched by a number of modders both here today and no longer here. This one has all the usual - original MBW case with gen crown, tube and springbars, cg's and case refinished, insert with good pearl, relumed dial, Watchmeister's date wheel overlay, etc. Unfortunately I never got around to swapping the crystal but someday...

panerai153 Posted May 15, 2010 Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 Great looking watch. the 1680 is probably my favorite vintage Rolex. I have that ones brother on my wrist right now. White letter version. Hard to beat the old school MBW's as a modding platform. AP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoJo35 Posted May 15, 2010 Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 Wow, that brings back memories ..unfortunately I sold mine long ago I've got a gen NOS crystal that would look great on that watch. It's been hanging around too long, I'd give you a great deal on it if you're interested W. Wear in good health! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually do have one already hanging around but never got around to putting it on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
