candide2424 Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 Hello guys, I am chasing a nice 1680 or 5513 for a new project. I would like to get your opinion on this case. Engravings seem to be wrong. What else? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

candide2424 Posted April 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 It seems to be fake in my opinion but could be good enough for a Franken? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flex Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 bit thick for a red project...perhaps good for a white 1680? flex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 Are the red and white cases different??? <br /><br />I always assumed they were the same. On the case in question to me the lug holes look a little high maybe an the crystal looks crap too much bevel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never knew there were any differences in the 1680 cases, from Red to White. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 Since both red & white 1680s use the same (1575) movement, there should not be any difference in case dimensions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phillycheez Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 There is no difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HauteHippie Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 That's not a very interesting specimen IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seafoam Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 Looks ok to me other than a few issues. Nice chamfer on the lugs. Should make for a half way decent Franken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1680 Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 There is no difference. Not 100%, indeed there are two different versions of the 1680 case. One has a groove in the case underneath the retaining ring for a rubber gasket, the other version not. And as far as I know the cases with the groove appeared later with the white dial. However there is no other difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
