So the new Yuki cases are problematic huh...too bad. He used to make nice cases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

btocamelo Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 man that's nice....I'm in the same boat with my 1570 movement and trying to look for a decent 1680 midcase (see that Yuki's recent offering is not working) 1. where did you source the GEN bezel assembly and retaining ring? 2. the crown looks "REP"...the coronet doesn't look right for the period?....wouldn't a 700 or 702 be better suited?

Ronin Posted February 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 man that's nice....I'm in the same boat with my 1570 movement and trying to look for a decent 1680 midcase (see that Yuki's recent offering is not working) 1. where did you source the GEN bezel assembly and retaining ring? 2. the crown looks "REP"...the coronet doesn't look right for the period?....wouldn't a 700 or 702 be better suited? Parts were collected over the last 2+ years. The crown is a correct gen 'service/replacement' part. All crowns these days are 703's from a new/service perspective. Remember, my MO is 'freshly serviced look from RSC'. I am not a period-purist, as I feel it is unrealistic for a 'regularly worn' watch. So the hands and insert are lumi for example, and crown is modern 703. (True, it might be a little too clean/pristine for a late 70's rendition, but I like the idea of letting it age up naturally starting now) (edit, went back and looked at photos above -vs- in person, crown has a 'ding' in it that is reflecting/blurring, also either silicon smudge or finger oil-- so I see why you said that. In person the detail is sharp, crisp, and GEN 703.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
