Pugwash Posted August 4, 2007 Report Share Posted August 4, 2007 So far, this 1680 has ... gen crown and tube, gen crystal, gen pearl, pugged crown guards and ... as of this morning, an ETA 2846 low-beat movement. Still to go, some form of datewheel and drilling the lugs to fit genuine spring bars.

freddy333 Posted August 4, 2007 Report Share Posted August 4, 2007 Pug -- Looks excellent so far. How does the date window look from straight on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWG Technical Posted August 4, 2007 Report Share Posted August 4, 2007 Looks great...nice work. Nice to see you doing it all yourself, sort of takes the shine off the fact that some would like others to believe only a few gifted people in the world can do this stuff...it's not so hard after all... Can't wait to see the remainder of the work. RG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
