Star69 Posted September 28, 2010 Report Posted September 28, 2010 got this one today from a member trade - first i was blown away - really really nice replica - the steel is shiny - the bracelet is simply the best rep-Rolex bracelet ever. im converting this this in a 1675 - so some errors dont bother me : the dial is the old version - its fixed now from the factory - the GMT-hand is way too bright - the datewheel is nice but badly printed = some dates are not centered. the CGs look off - need some work. and : the movement is alredy dead - Asia 21 glory anyway some pics before its taken apart im planning to get the swiss verion with the updated dial in the future cheers, Frank
Toadtorrent Posted September 28, 2010 Report Posted September 28, 2010 I do like a good Steve McQueen...projects are always fun. That must be the old version before the 1:1 and before the 1:1 updated dial?
Star69 Posted September 28, 2010 Author Report Posted September 28, 2010 its the version Josh sells - but before the dial upgrade...
Cats Posted September 28, 2010 Report Posted September 28, 2010 Oh a 1675 project coming up. Keep us posted i would like to see the outcome of this project. Carpe Diem Cats
Star69 Posted September 28, 2010 Author Report Posted September 28, 2010 still hunting for a nice dial - the 16750s are dirt cheap .... but after seeing this watch : im re-thinking cheers, Frank
freddy333 Posted September 28, 2010 Report Posted September 28, 2010 The passionate chocolate exclamation mark GMT. Nice.
Mapman57 Posted September 28, 2010 Report Posted September 28, 2010 Please keep us posted on how this conversion goes........ Is the bracelet really that good? Its had a lot of rave reviews........
sishac Posted October 6, 2010 Report Posted October 6, 2010 That looks pretty cool!!! Did the GMT bezel just snap on?
chiman12 Posted October 6, 2010 Report Posted October 6, 2010 Frank! That is looking good so far! I'm still waiting for my bezel assembly...did you order it from ewatchparts? If so, what are you impressions of it?
Star69 Posted October 6, 2010 Author Report Posted October 6, 2010 Frank! That is looking good so far! I'm still waiting for my bezel assembly...did you order it from ewatchparts? If so, what are you impressions of it? yes ! thanks for the tip its really great quality - okay the insert could be better but the retaining ring fits tight over the plexi (from cousins uk) . im just waiting for the dial ... cheers, Frank
chiman12 Posted October 6, 2010 Report Posted October 6, 2010 yes ! thanks for the tip No worries...I'm here to share information. But the insert would be an easy swap to gen...I was more concerned that the bezel assembly you got from ewatchparts was proper. Looking good my friend!
alligoat Posted October 6, 2010 Report Posted October 6, 2010 Wow! It looks like you guys are on to something- a good 1675 build. A decent aftermarket dial, a movement and hands and you will be there. Look forward to seeing some more.
Dizzy Posted October 7, 2010 Report Posted October 7, 2010 Now this is cool! Im not a big expII fan but this i can do! Ive been wanting to build a nice 1675
