Introducing My 1680...... "red"


Happy T

Recommended Posts

Started with a MBW 1680 and thought I would make a few mods. After sourcing several gen parts I discovered I was in way over my skill ability. This project was sent to Joe prior to him taking ill and all of the hoopla that has seem to be associated with him. I don't have a horse in that race. Other than the very long time to complete the mods my experience working with Joe was fine and I was comfortable with the wait.

Gen tropic

Gen insert

Gen crown

Gen springbars

lugs drilled

crown guards shaped

I have a Gen white dial that I was going to use but after some serious discussions on the look I wanted I decided to leave the Red Singer dial. I just plain like the look of the red dial better. Still sporting the original MBW datewheel but am excited that some of the very distinguish members here are ferverishly working on a possible correction for that. I bow to their greatness. :)

May I introduce to you "Red" :

Very nice looking watch. I myself am going to get an MBW but have zero modding experience. I'll probably send it to Joe like you did... Just gotta find out which rolex im going to take on, and your pics help in making this decision ;-) Looks great
