Martyd3 Posted August 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 Thanks for the kind words. I've been toying with building a Yuki 1680 with a gen 1570, but I'm not sure if it's worth the money. It would cost me $2,000 for the case with a movement and Yuki dial and hands. Add on a gen crystal, crown/tube, insert and bracelet and you are into it for $3,000. Add a gen dial, which you really need and it jumps to $3,500. I have most of the parts on the MBW (less the insert, which is incoming) and a gen bracelet, but it's still a big investment. I think I will be sticking with the MBW for now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although tempting to add a 1570, at one point, there has to be a limit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
