Cartel 1680 white - a Cheap but good base for modifications!

Looks like a nice beater. Did the Miyota come with the watch or did you pick it up separately?

Looking at the neck of the case, it looks like the bezel assembly is the paper clip snap on variety.

Also, that dial is a fantasy version, but who will know!

The original watch I bought from Sead in the cheaper version with 2813 movement.

Looks great, may I ask where you sourced your open 6&9 DWO from?

Have taken from the 2813 movement.

+1- with the flat top 3s and open 6/9s it's correct for a serviced/late 1680

Those new cartel vintages are really nice for the price and they can be greatly improved with some small mods. Here is mine with yuki dial, athaya 702 crown and gs crystal. Further need to drill the lug holes to 1.2mm and add a yuki insert with pearl and maybe darken the lume a little but kinda like the service look on this watch.
