freddy333 Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 I have reservations about the Watchmeister datewheel overlay, but, other than that, once you get the hands to match (or just tell people Rolex replaced the original hands at the last service) you will be looking good.

I have most of the same mods. I hesitate on the overlay as well. You have confiirmed what i thought might happen. It is a little fuzzy. Better on a 1665. Fantastic watch. Love the clasp.

It is a little fuzzy. Better on a 1665. Fantastic watch. Love the clasp. Yep, this one is a little fuzzy but I have a crisp one that I am waiting to put on my slow beat movement. I'll do that when I decide to even out the patina of the hands to match the dial. Thanks, Kurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyp1 Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 Thats a beautiful watch. Ive never critiqued a members watch before. Let me say that your watch is nicer than any of my reps. I must tell you that as a owner of a gen circa 72 1680 that date wheel overlay must go. It gives a otherwise beautiful watch a nasty blemish.

Jetsons Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 Darn great watch and work, K! To get much closer, you would be looking at $4.5K for the gen. I hope you decide to keep this one for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archibald Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 Looks Great!!! A note on the DW, for his piece Justasgood needed a more rigid overlay than the very thin vinyl version. I believe his 1680 has a thicker prototype version I sent him...it does have the advantage of being thicker w/ a thin layer of some kind of plastic if I recall, but unfortunately has only about 1/2 the print resolution as apparent in the zoom + cyclops pics. On the wrist, though, it looks pretty darn good, and that's what matters!! Awesome craftsmanship on the mods!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for all your help and you are correct....it looks AWESOME without the loupe......and let's face it, I rarely use my loupe on an everyday basis Darn great watch and work, K! To get much closer, you would be looking at $4.5K for the gen. I hope you decide to keep this one for a while. I hope it stays awhile as well.... Great work fantastic watch Thanks Tribal...always good to get Peer approval. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
