Yes it dose look good, but is it the correct case? Thikness?

Case looks a little thick to me and those yellow markers are a turn-off. So far the concensus around here is that sticking to the Josh 1655 Explorer II case and building a 1675 is the best course. But it runs around $500 for all of the parts.

Here's the same watch with white markers- much more to my liking

And you have to admit, it is half what building a 1675 costs. The dial is better, doesn't say 'Oyster Perpetual Date'.

And who's gonna really notice the too thick case?

Ths is a expensive project. Still need the dial. The case is a lil thick but I can liv with that. I can't liv with the dial. So far I've replaced the bezel,insert,xstal,datedisk and the bracelet. Had to paint gmt hand it came in a metallic red color and the indices had to b redone. U cannot wear it out of the box like that. Looks to ridiculous
