seadweller3 Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 Outside of swapping for a gen movement, what would "fully modded" mean relating to an MBW 1680? Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest carlsbadrolex Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 Here are the specs of my project which I feel will result in a fully modded 1680. ETA slowbeat movement with UBI datewheel (actually mine has a 1570, but you specifically stated to exclude that option) Full servicing of above mentioned movement Aftermarket re-dial Milled CG's Lugs drilled for gen spring bars Gen spring bars Gen insert and pearl (or you can do the "missing pearl") Gen 580 end links Gen bracelet (several options) Gen tropic crystal Total cost without 1570 around $1300 Total cost with 1570 $2500 Hope that helps...

seadweller3 Posted March 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 Thanks, Carlsbad. I just picked one up. I am not sure if the CG's have been modded but there is a gen crown/tube. I can see a thread though when the crown is in fully-screwed down position. Is this correct? I am looking for a nice dial and have a ubi date wheel lined up but I'm still unsure if it will fit my 1680 w/o issues? I'm not in a hurry to do a gen bracelet as I am satisfied with the MBW with the gen end links. Any input is appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
