Olivax Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 Hello, Does anyone has ever build a 1680 using the DW Case Set? Is the dial any good? What are the flaws? Does an ETA 2824 fits good with a spacer ring? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lhooq Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 This thread is over a year old, but there are comments about some of DW's non-chrono cases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star69 Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 non gen like contruction, gen plexi does not fit ... same goes to the bezel .. cheers, Frank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olivax Posted May 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 Thanks guys for that information. So what would be the best solution if I want to use gen plexi, gen insert and gen crown/tube? What is the best rep dial? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star69 Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 Thanks guys for that information. So what would be the best solution if I want to use gen plexi, gen insert and gen crown/tube? What is the best rep dial? MBW 1680 = best base , needs new insert, crown + tube, CG shave prob new bracelet too (solid middle links) Josh 1680 = saves a lot $$ - needs only new crown and tube and CG work - but the CGs are a little too short. ... ther are tons of other differences - like Joshs has a nice datewheel not overlay - the MBW has a fake singer dial, but cut off dial feets - both are 1:1 constructed - but the MBW - at least the older ones are 5513 cases = gen 1680 does not fit without shaving ... i whould stay away from the PT 1680 version - its not in the same league ... cheers, Frank (lug-holes + slow beat movement whould be a nice extra on both dials are okay on both imho) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
