alligoat Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 It's a good looking case, dial looks like a MKII, but why is the 8 in the date window low? Crown is a later 703- the squatty crown emblem. The droop of the crown guards is spot on- same as the gen- heck it could be a gen case for that matter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FxrAndy Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 bezel looks too new like it has just been replaced a good franken at the least of not gen with a date change issue and a new bezel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highoeyazmuhudee Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 the case has no bevel, the lug holes look to small to accept gen bars. the CGs are really thick, isnt this just a PT? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_rymeister Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 I'm loving it specs please to topoky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
automatico Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 It looks a lot like my DW case, CG droop and all. ...but I am more of an 'expert' on shimming 1960's Ducati tower shaft and bevel gear assemblies than rolex cases.

DC109 Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 Absolutely fantastic shots! Hard to make a good 16610 rep look unimpressive by comparison, but those beauties do. Can I ask, who sells the unmarked aftermarket case with the gen-like construction? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ephry73 Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 Whose case? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 That's a nice case- especially if you want to use a gen 1570 movement. Sure it needs a little work, polish the bezel to give it a little age, drill the lugholes to spec, thin the cg's a little and maybe thin the lugs/polish it to give a little older look since there's no bevel on the lugs. But most 1680s lost the bevel on the lugs a long time ago- mine is 34 years old so it's been down the road a few times and been polished, probably more than once. I really like the high crown position and the drooping cg's, rehaut is also spot on. Good engravings would be a big plus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
