Franken gen 1680

[pfff]

seen on a french forum, a gen 1680 with a gen Tropic 19 :

i think i'm gonna do the same with my mbw 1680, it gives a unique look, even better than a 1665

Mmmmm.... very interesting. I've always hated date magnifying windows which is why I haven't got a Sub but that makes it look really nice. 10 x better than a Sub with a window. Food for thought...

Interesting, but 5513 is perfectly balanced IMHO. In fact, 5513 is wholly perfect

I recently stumbled across a Tudor Sub with the Tropic 19 installed it also looked terrific. I asked the owner if he had any issues installing the T-19 on the Tudor and there were none. This is a swap I wouldn't mind doing to mine.

The T-19 gives the Sub the much cleaner look of the no-date and SD. You can't beat "beauty in simplicity".

Nice looking 1680!

I've done this with a few of my 1680's:

Love the Dome!

my rolex AD guy told me that this used to be a popular mod 20 years ago.. guys would swap out the t127 for a t19 for the sea-dweller look.

Wow, that is a interresting information Lonnie.

But I agree with Monsieur Euno and Monsieur Yello, 5513!

Seems weird to buy a 1680 and try to make it look like SD...why not buy a SD ?
