CharlieUK Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 ^^^Awesome CG's cme out great! gen dial? I'd get a better bezel, chamfer the lug holes a pinch, and recess the insert just a little and call it a day! Nice work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd get a better bezel, chamfer the lug holes a pinch, and recess the insert just a little and call it a day! Nice work! It is Gary Clark's bezel assembly but it is not polished in the pics. I have polished it since taking the pictures. I don't care to much for the chamfered lugholes. If you look at 1675s on eBay you will notice that most of them have not been polished until the lugholes are rounded over. Anyway...I tried it on my 5513 and I messed one hole up...chamfered too much...wish I had left it alone. It happens. Thanks for comments.

Guest zeleni kukuruz Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 @ Pre I also have the New clark bezel assamble (two of them), it's very firm and tight i like that, but it's a little to thick. The WSO assamble is to lose and floppy but its much thiner and i like that more. I think i will get a new wso assamble also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine, actually, does not turn at all, but that is ok with me. I just have it set to do 24 hr time and I leave it that way. I love the watch, spent a lot of time building it, but do not wear it much...can't take my Explorer 1016 off. Oh...sorry...didn't mean to usurp your 1675 thread.

JoeyB Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 Which bezel assembly do you guys think are best for the 1675? Is the new clarks one any good Mine is the Clark's. It makes a very precise fit on my 1655 case. The end link points on my Jubilee bracelet were a hair too high and stopped the bezel from turning, touching the bezel from underneath. Once I adjusted the end links, it works beautifully. Clark Watch Parts is on Ebay as Nostalgia-2000 I didn't see any listed, so you might need to email him.

polexpete Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 Ok after a long time gathering parts and having work done my 1675 is finally here so glad this thread is still going. Here are the specs. - Phong mid case - World_time_inc bezel assembly from Ebay. Expensive (i didn't pay what they were asking) and doesn't fit a gen insert. I had to shave this one and bleached it too. Not recommended - Gen 116 tropic - Raffles time caseback - ETA top grade 2893-2 GMT movement with taller GMT, hour, minute and second pinnions installed. - Gen tube and 5.3 mm crown (not sure about that crown) - Gen dial relumed by Vac - CWP handset with Gen 1675 GMT hand relumed by Vac - Datewheel from early MBW - Rep jubilee bracelet with gen endlinks and clasp Pics: Thanks for looking P.

Thanks mate, you really started something here .... i just softened all the sharp edges on the whole case, cg's are as is. Thought about taking a little off of the inside of them but decided not to .. Cheers P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest zeleni kukuruz Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 @Pete... Yeha, you have the skilles for the modding of the cg (inside) i think you should do it! At least when you feel the time is right, i meen the watch is amazing as it, but shaving the inside of the cg would be top noch!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 Nice job,Pete. I like the way you installed a 2893-2 in there. Maybe you could tell us a little more about it- where did the spacer ring come from? You mentioned the taller pinions and I guess the stem lined up ok with the tube and crown.

Actually its not a Phong bezel, i'm sure his would work with a gen insert. I was trying to keep costs down so only got the Phong mid-case. Bezel came from Ebay seller World_time_inc who asks $350 for the whole assembly i offered him much lower and he accepted. Cheers P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great thing with using a 2893 is that it all lines up in the case like a gen plus the datewheel overlay fits under the GMT gear so no binding like with a 2836. The spacer ring is from Rafflestime but i had to shave it down with a dremel to make it fit, best get one from Yuki it seems. Taller pinnions are a must on all the 2893's i've used Cheers P. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeyB Posted December 26, 2012 Report Share Posted December 26, 2012 When I first came here it was in search of education and information on the vintage GMT. RolexAddict and I had talked at length and he got me into the vintage GMT when we both were on another site. That was a few years ago and the trouble then was finding a dial that didn't say "Date" after the 'Oyster Perpetual'. When I came here freddy333 was in the final stages of his first 6542. I even bought his first insert for that build from him. The rest, as they say, is history. RA went on to build the 1675, mine is done by his tutelage. The thing I like about my build that no one seemed to notice, and that could be due to my poor picture taking skills, is that the chapter ring dial I made for it is the 'Exclamation point' dial, circa 1960. I figured if I was going to go 'rare' go all the way! Thanks for your kind words, I appreciate it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
