Pezzie Posted September 16, 2020 Report Share Posted September 16, 2020 Hi guys and gals I’m looking for a 1675 replica/clone/anythingIf 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 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
username here Posted September 16, 2020 Report Share Posted September 16, 2020 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.Sent from my SM-G986U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mbari Posted September 17, 2020 Report Share Posted September 17, 2020 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.

RicoSuave4U Posted December 25, 2020 Report Share Posted December 25, 2020 That 1675 GMT from trusty times does not exist ! I emailed him couple times about that specific model and it’s never available . 🤷🏻♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
automatico Posted December 26, 2020 Report Share Posted December 26, 2020 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
