yt74 Posted May 11, 2007 Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 (edited) I want to drill out the lug holes to the proper size and add more correct springbars. Are these a good choice and does anybody know a cheaper source? http://cgi.ebay.com/SPRINGBAR-PINS-for-ROL...VQQcmdZViewItem The original rep versions: I am also wanting to install a better crystal, from my understanding the WM variant is based on a 1680 case, so I am thinking a Tropic 127 should fit, but the crystal fits inside the rehaut area instad of outside like my 1665. It appears to be held in place with a pliable white ring instead of the retaining rings you usually see on the WM/MBW. I have test fitted a spare Tropic 39 superdome and it fits inside also, so wierd! Any ideas? Edited May 11, 2007 by yt74 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TJGladeRaider Posted May 13, 2007 Report Share Posted May 13, 2007 Anyone help a brother out? I have a couple of those, I just hesitate to comment. Of all my MBWs, they impress me the least. They are not made on a 1680 case. They bear no resemblance in construction to a real 1675. I sent one to Ziggy and he sent it back.

Jetsons Posted May 13, 2007 Report Share Posted May 13, 2007 For spring bars, you'll need the 2mm like these: http://cgi.ebay.com/Rolex-1680-16610-5512-...1QQcmdZViewItem The case appears to be a TW designed for a sapphire crystal. Perhaps you can get the T-127 to work but not sure how it would llook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yt74 Posted May 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 Thanks Jetsons, I really appreciate it. I couldn't figure out why they would use the double shoulder bars, I thought all vintage used the 2mm and your just confirmed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetsons Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 Glad to be of help. These are the least expensive spring bars that I know of that will work, http://cgi.ebay.com/SPRINGBAR-PIN-ROLEX-fo...oQQcmdZViewItem They are not the most durable if you have a habit of swapping bracelets frequently. They will work fine if installed and left alone but are cheap @ $1.98/pair, delivered. I noticed some dealers are buying 40-50 at as time...I wonder how much they resell them for.
