tabularasa415 Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 So, I went all the way on this. His usual mods (josh 1655 watch, different hands, bezel, caseback, yuki dial etc), but I sourced a gen 6mm crown and tube, a gen tropic, gen insert -- and I think these "work in progress" pictures speak of his passion and talent for the 1675...

freddy333 Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 I think I would lower the height of the crystal a bit (so the bottom of the crystal bevel is closer to the top of the insert), but other than that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, they are great. I found a nice condition gen dial on the bay, but JJ told me not to go over $250 bc of how good the yuki dials are.

Rolexaddict Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 (edited) I think I would lower the height of the crystal a bit (so the bottom of the crystal bevel is closer to the top of the insert), but other than that The cristal is a gen and has the right specs, this visual effect comes from the insert angular design, this one is a little more flat so its top is a little bit lower Edited March 14, 2012 by Rolexaddict 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eVojlib Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 I think the crystal looks fine, most 1675's sit this way including the gens Speaking of Yuki dials, has anyone here ever tried his 7836 bracelet? Its going for $200, and for that you may be able to source a decent gen and do some minor repairs so its no so streched out. Awsome job!
