hava Posted March 2, 2011 Report Posted March 2, 2011 I´m not fan gold case, but i need to admit that i like a lot 1680 gold case. Someone know any dealer that sell it? thanks
slickdick Posted March 2, 2011 Report Posted March 2, 2011 I am fan of gold case, have not seen aftermarket 1680 case, though im pretty sure they are made.
Dizzy Posted March 3, 2011 Report Posted March 3, 2011 This would actually be an interesting project... Get a cartel 1680, vintageize it and do all the usual mods like crown guards and lug holes etc. Sand it down quite a bit on all the edges to mimic how a gen would look. Remember 18kt is SOFT and it will wear out much much faster than steel. Then after you get it where you want it, take it apart and send it out for heavy gold plating. That would be really cool. It would look cool because it would be all worn and dinged up and would look really genuine I think. You obviously cant mod much on a gold plated rep from a dealer because as soon as you start to polish it, the gold comes off. Forget about doing crown guards or lug holes... dizz
hava Posted March 3, 2011 Author Report Posted March 3, 2011 I think to in gold plated..... then i need to choose the best 1680 case. The case from josh, i see the GC is small (i have at home), other option expensive is Yuki one. Do you know any place that make these gold plated? DLC gold is possible?
Star69 Posted March 3, 2011 Report Posted March 3, 2011 the would be really something - esp on an Nato-strap
