Bart Cordell Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 Hi !Bought this gmt m2m last September. It's a nice but not accurate watch. By curiosity, I decided to dismantle it and I notice the case is slightly engraved between lugs. ORIG ROLEX DESIGN 1680(?) on one side and STAINLESS STEEL 2652174 on the other.Case back engraved 5513.can someone help me identify this case ?

alligoat Posted January 2, 2016 Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 Just your run of the mill CN case with the 'paper clip' bezel. Made for a sub, but doing duty as a GMT. Case is too thick for a GMT and bezel is all wrong. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alligoat Posted January 2, 2016 Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 'Run of the mill' is an American (maybe English too) idiom meaning common. CN is an abbreviation for Chinese. In other words, you have a cheap rep case. You could make a 1680 out of it, but you'd still have the wrong bezel assembly. You could put it back together and try to sell it, but it's still only a $100 rep, or maybe $150 with an Asian 2836-2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
