mystere Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 Hi all, first sorry for my poor english. Finished my first modding project on MBK 1680 bought last year from reg. Gen service crystal, gen? service insert with relumed pearl, gen crown on yuki tube, gen clasp on PT bracelet, relumed yuki hands, silver overlay from Justin (thanks), lug holes drilled, crown guard shaved (i think little bit pointy), stock dial relumed (little bit to uneven) and sprayed with clear matt sealer, ETA 2846. Think i have disassembled the watch 100 times and jet I'm down. Have no more nerves to open it again. Its time for next watch. What you think? its ok? Thanks mystere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dluddy Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 Nice but that datewheel looks like it was drawn freehand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dutchguy2 Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 To be honest there some room for improvement. Stock MBW date wheel is pretty good and I would change back to it. The relume could be a bit better, same lume on the hands would help. For the rest it looks very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, stock overlay has better print, but unfortunately i damaged it by trying to center in dial window ;-( And for relume, i tryed 5-6 time, and before i throw the dial of window ;-) its better i buy a cheap gen.

dutchguy2 Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 I have a nice white overlay for 1680. You can have it for free if you want. You can also sent hands and dial and I will relume them for free (not that I am an expert like fineDD or Vac, etc) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmb Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Due to equipment limitations the date wheel overlays made by the decal process do not stand up to a macro lens but look fine "on the wrist". But, who carries around a magnifying glass and asks people to inspect their date anyway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
