Edge's Red 1680 is safe again after travelling from UK to Belgium


Recommended Posts

Dear All,

Some of you may have heard that Edge and I made a deal and that I bought his incredible beauty.

As I know that some members participated in the mods of this watch, I figured I should post some news of the travel and let them know when the watch is safe again.

So, everything is fine. The watch arrived safely today and is now on my wrist ;)

I will take tons of pictures of the actual watch but give me some time as I need to first have some good light and it's pretty rainy for the moment.

Edge's first post link is here under. It was in April 2006 and it shows some pictures but the watch has considerably changed since then.

Here is the list of what has been done:

CG's Reshaped

Crown and Tube exchanged for Genuine

Bezel and Dial exchanged for Excellent, Aged Replacements

Genuine Bezel pearl

End Links Modified and Adapted to Accept Gen Springbars

Genuine Springbars

Bracelet Modified to Accpet Gen Springbars

Case completely refinished, to be aged, and smoothed.

Case Lugs Drilled for Gen bars

Bracelet refinished

Fully waterproofed

Regulated

Genuine Tropic.

Cheers

Stephane

Congrats!

The dial, insert and pearl all hold a special place in my heart (as they once were a part of my 1680, long ago)...

Great 1680! You're on quite the MBW roll these days Stephane!

Thanks guys.

I knew these ones were from you Ubi and I supposed you were waiting for some news ;)

I'll shoot loads of pics right now as the sun came out (and it will not last!).

Later...I will post a trade review with Edge. Will it be positive ? Guess :rolleyes:

Cheers

Stephane
