WTB 1675

[Pezzie]

Hi guys and gals

 

I’m looking for a 1675 replica/clone/anything

If you have one for sale or if you’ve bought/built one previously, please share your source.

 

My budget is open to what’s out there as I’m new to the scene.

 

I was looking on trusty time and I’m happy to settle for a factory built option but they just aren’t quite perfect. But for the price I can’t complain.

 

Show me what’s out there!

 

I’m in Australia if that makes a difference

I've got a super franken built by a well known member at RWI. Gen parts are movement (1575 services)/hands/insert/crystal/datewheel/crown/bracelet. MQ case- PCG.

It's a pretty cool piece.

I recently built this and a few others.  They vary in many ways. I think most would agree there are 3 general  tiers of building reps and very directional price ranges, YMMV. 

 

1. Beginner Build: Buy a basic cartel watch. Fade the bezel, soften the case and maybe age the dial a bit. $150 to $350 depending on mods or DIY 

 

2. Intermediate build:  Cartel watch as base and then do the above stepsm. In addition, Shape the lugs, Cgs. Age dial, relume both dial and hands. Add better crown and crystal. $150 to $600 ish. 

 

3. Advanced Build:  Get  gen spec case and dial. Do the steps above. Then I see people add gen, crystal and crown.  If you go all the way, one might add gen movement and hands.  $1200+ 

Some more examples of beginner to intermediate builds.

That  1675  GMT  from trusty  times  does not  exist !  I  emailed him  couple  times  about  that  specific  model  and  it’s  never  available .  🤷🏻‍♂️

You might try 'Mary'.  If it is on her sales site it is usually still available and it is still on her extended list.

 

Here is what to ask about:

Rolex vintage GMT 

Stainless Steel

Blue/Red-bezel

Jubilee bracelet

Swiss ETA 2836

Can you  give me  the  link  to  Mary ?  Or  the  website  where  I  can  get  the  watch?
