Lucky had this Nato that matches just right ,tried to get a pic of that silver date wheel really nice in person. Also CGs ,well do I need to mod them?
Nanuq Posted January 1, 2013 Report Posted January 1, 2013 *Gag* Utterly atrocious! Ghastly! I'll send you my address. Please send it for immediate *cough* disposal.
Mike on a bike Posted January 1, 2013 Author Report Posted January 1, 2013 Freddy so would I, took a bunch just to get those! it looks great in the flesh and the Nato is dead on with the Lume color. (lucky I had it around) Yea nanuq sending it right over.
alligoat Posted January 2, 2013 Report Posted January 2, 2013 Is this a Puretime 1680 with the silver DW and decent pearl? Yes, the crown guards need a trim. A gen crown might be a tad smaller also.
Mike on a bike Posted January 2, 2013 Author Report Posted January 2, 2013 Alligoat received from another member so can't tell you source . It does have the silver date wheel & decent pearl so you may be right. i will look into CGs and crown,thank you. Just checked out their site I would say yes.
whoopy12 Posted January 2, 2013 Report Posted January 2, 2013 It is the puretime version yes! Hate to plug... but I'm selling an aftermarket 703 crown if you do decide to mod it http://www.rwgforum.net/topic/154500-rolex-parts-dial-crowns-hands-pearl/ My work is done here
Mike on a bike Posted January 2, 2013 Author Report Posted January 2, 2013 Thanks MJ , keeper for sure.
panerai153 Posted January 2, 2013 Report Posted January 2, 2013 Thats a nice one, despite the grainy photos. Definitely need a gen crown. For some reason the puretime crowns are too big.CG trim, new crown, you're good to go.
sgtguk Posted January 3, 2013 Report Posted January 3, 2013 Good on Ya Mike, looks like a nice piece enjoy modding it mate !
Mike on a bike Posted January 3, 2013 Author Report Posted January 3, 2013 Thanks SGT but I couldn't mod a bicycle, will send out to get work done.
Mike on a bike Posted January 21, 2013 Author Report Posted January 21, 2013 Thanks guys , unfortunately crown lost in mail so on the hunt!
