Chuck P Posted January 3, 2015 Report Posted January 3, 2015 My latest 1680 budget creation on a custom strap that just makes it look a ton better!
alligoat Posted January 3, 2015 Report Posted January 3, 2015 Looks good- I like the droop of the crown guards! That's a nice detail most reps don't get right- tell us more about your case.
Chuck P Posted January 3, 2015 Author Report Posted January 3, 2015 PT 1680 Case with crownguards lightly modified PT dial--date window ever so slightly enlarged. Multiple coats of matte spray Aftermarket bezel assembly and insert of unknown origin but bet good quality Gen 703 crown Rep t-39 Superdome Crystal. Serviced Eta 2846 Hands I had mixed in the parts bin.
Chuck P Posted January 9, 2015 Author Report Posted January 9, 2015 Swapped in a GS t19 service dome. Doesn't fit as well and I wouldn't dream of getting it wet, but I think I like the look a tad better. Which do you prefer?
sgtguk Posted January 9, 2015 Report Posted January 9, 2015 Looks better mate, much better imo but I do love a T19 ....
Champagnesky Posted January 10, 2015 Report Posted January 10, 2015 Looks nice, where did u buy the strap?
Beachcomber Posted January 10, 2015 Report Posted January 10, 2015 I absolutely love a 1680 sans cyclops and a T-19 or T-39 looks so sexy. Beautiful creation a great looking strap. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
