Guest zeleni kukuruz Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 I thought we could post our vintage 1675 gmt watches here. So everyone that are intrested in building one can see how nice they can be with gen and rep parts. So here is mine. Its a rolexaddict build, gen plexi, shaved crown gards (pointed), yuki dial and hands (relumed creamy/vanilla), small thin and sexy long gmt hand (not easy to find), gen springbars, smoth and very nice jubilee bracelet. The first 5 pics is of the yuki gilt dial all other pics are with the new yuki dial v2 (its out of stock now) New dial And some B&W ones. Post em if you got them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eVojlib Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 (edited) Very nice builds here guys, i've been fighting for a few years with this one and just got the balls to build another one.

eVojlib Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 (edited) So you already made one before? Kinda, it was on older version that really was crap. So I scrapped the entire project and went a prototype route, see my sig. Now being in the same boat again, I've got the Yuki case and Jos 1675 donor to work with so far. I picked up a service dial Mk5 with luminova (brand new dial NOS stock from 2000) gen Insert (blueback) gen crown and tube gen 116 plexi Im still looking for the gen caseback and case if I can find one at a decent price, until then the yuki case will have to work.

DeeKa Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 When posting watches or parts, could you please post the origin too? So e.g. 1675 Trevor ootb - ... gen bezel - ... TK mod of ... Just pictures of different watches without origin of the parts are some kind of meaningless... Dee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigjule111 Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 Strap is cool. I prefer metal bands but this is a nice change up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_rymeister Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 Hopefully I will be able to post in this thread sooner rather than later as I'm going to start collecting a few parts then get one built. I'm so looking forward to it. These are amazing watches. Love the strap zk looks real nice but I do have to agree with bigj as i to prefer the metal straps but still looks nice buddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
