rolojack Posted August 22, 2015 Report Share Posted August 22, 2015 I have debated too long whether I should have a yellow or white lumed 1680. It is funny how just changing the lume color affects the whole look of the watch ! It is literally a different watch, and I am now convinced it makes perfect sense to have both if this reference is among your favorites....Viet Mid cases and bezels, DW casebacks and DWOs, PT dial for the yellow lume, DW dial for the white lume, Athaya crowns, crystals from Ebay, not sure of the maker... Gen 93150, TC hands for the white, PT hands for the yellow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mendota Explorer Posted August 22, 2015 Report Share Posted August 22, 2015 Those are gorgeous! Just fantastic. I really like the profile shape of those crystals. I need to replace my crystal. If someday you ever remember the supplier, please share the name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beachcomber Posted August 22, 2015 Report Share Posted August 22, 2015 The height of that top hat looks a little low. Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkMine for comparison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've literally seen hundreds and they look pretty much like this one. Btw, FAKE is a 4 letter word. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beone21 Posted August 24, 2015 Report Share Posted August 24, 2015 Not trying to be smart here, but I always liked my cream dots. When RA modded my 1680's he had sort of a colorpalet, and I went exactly in the middle between white and yellow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a old PureTime 93150. Just wanted to make you aware in case you got taken. The height of that top hat looks a little low. Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkMine for comparison The crystal is from ebay. It's also not a top hat like yours, it's a Service T127, and an aftermarket one.

Mendota Explorer Posted August 24, 2015 Report Share Posted August 24, 2015 I like cream, personally. My Puretime red 1680 dial has sun faded to a nice cream lume color. I just need to texturize it and it will be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked carefully too and agree that the bracelet is indeed rep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
