tgchrono2 Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 http://www.yourtrustytime.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_11&products_id=6704 Hello, I have been overhelmed from the look of vintage GMT 1675 especially old ones with patina and sed look. Is this replica from Trusty so wrong? Can I make some mods especially for glass? I'm not so concerned for let's say 99 or100% identical to genuine look. What else do u recomend counting that I I'm not able to do major mods bymyself Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tgchrono2 Posted February 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 Another question. If I get this case set from Yuki and the Trusty GMT will I be able to take out and fit the movement together with dial in zYukis set? http://www.yukiwatch.com/catalog/item/6924997/6964737.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 Get one of the new ExpII vintages. Swap out the dial and bezel for 1675 parts. Yuki dial for example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tgchrono2 Posted February 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 But Yuki mentions that this dial is only for genuine movement 1570 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 The dial is only for a 1570 if you insist on using the dial feet. But you can cut the dial feet off and glue the dial to an eta movement. No big deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiyal Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 Whats up with the "modded" movement? I'm not bagging on the asia movement ($17 to replace is not bad), but whats really going on there? is it an Swiss ETA or the clone? What are the pros and cons.

sneed12 Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 (edited) That's an ETA with a bunch of decoration and a custom Rolex-style rotor. The decoration looks quite nice, actually. But still a 2836 or clone. Dead giveaways are the shape, size and placement of the reverser wheels and balance wheel, and the shape of the autowinding bridge. It looks really nice though. Quite a lot of work went into it. Edited February 13, 2011 by sneed12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sneed12 Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 So Swiss made? Why would a fake Rolex movement be Swiss made? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tgchrono2 Posted February 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 Will yukis complete 1675 set of case crystal tube and crown take an ETA Gmt movement with rep dial;? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cats Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 Not an expert but i think you need an adapter to fit the ETA into this case. Don't know if the position of the stem will cause problems. Might be an interesting route to built a decent 1675. Carpe Diem Cats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tgchrono2 Posted February 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 For present moment its not easy to built a decent gmt. Which modern gmt2 except ceramic is best with red blue bezel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
