Omega Posted May 13, 2008 Report Posted May 13, 2008 The work I did: - gen insert - gen crown - gen tube - CG's - noob dial - datewheel from the SSD - case completely reworked - polished bezel - polished rehaut - bezel reworked on a lathe to clip a gen insert in - noob caseback - bracelet with hollow midlinks mounted, brushed and polished it - installed swiss ETA 2836-2 with rolex engraving - clasp (from 2 several factorys made 1 perfect) - set movement to +-2 sec/day So what do you think?

Stephane Posted May 13, 2008 Report Posted May 13, 2008 Can't wait to see it That mvt looks awesome, a very nice addition. What was the start watch ? A last generation MBW ? What bracelet.... We want more
Omega Posted May 13, 2008 Author Report Posted May 13, 2008 Can't wait to see it Thanks! I am sure you will see it... What was the start watch ? A last generation MBW ? What bracelet.... We want more Take more: The MBW is (according to previous owner) about 4 years old. I really don't know what generation it is, because on the last gen (like Paso's) is the date mag too big. On this one it is correct. So I can't assign it... Bracelet is from silix with hollow midlinks, outer clasp is OK but the inner was incorrect stamped. So I used the inner parts from a clasp that I found in my part-case. Of course with all correct numbers and very clean logo-stamp. At last but no least, what I forgot: The bracelet is also brushed and polished to have a shiny finish like gen...
Sir-Lancelot Posted May 13, 2008 Report Posted May 13, 2008 Looks great. Would be almost impossible for someone to call that one out as a rep. Wear it well.

w.genzo Posted May 13, 2008 Report Posted May 13, 2008 Nice work, old MBW's cases like yours look better to me, modern MBWs I had have a too conical rehaut. Could you add some details' pics (clasp, CG, tube..)?

By-Tor Posted May 13, 2008 Report Posted May 13, 2008 That's a beautiful 16610... congrats man!!! I don't currently own a 16610 at all... but I might get one again (eventually).
alligoat Posted May 13, 2008 Report Posted May 13, 2008 Beautiful watch! Certainly it's an artform- to take these components and meld them into a beautiful presentation- a true franken. Great job.
javiers Posted May 13, 2008 Report Posted May 13, 2008 This watch is amazing, congratulations !!!! The etched crown at six looks like invisible, from what watch is this crystal ?? From the mbw? Thank you and enjoy your beautiful watch.

I bought the watch with that crystal mounted, the crown is very hard to catch with your eyes! Sorry for the dust...
lazarini Posted May 14, 2008 Report Posted May 14, 2008 This is a winner looking forward to see it live laz
iceberg1459 Posted May 14, 2008 Report Posted May 14, 2008 flawless victory! probably best ulti-multi franken sub ever. i guess you changed caseback with noob because it was too thick like seadweller right? do you have a side pic?
Tribal Posted May 14, 2008 Report Posted May 14, 2008 Fantastic watch from a fantastic guy Looks excellent
javiers Posted May 14, 2008 Report Posted May 14, 2008 Thanks to all... I bought the watch with that crystal mounted, the crown is very hard to catch with your eyes! Sorry for the dust... Wow this is an gen replacement crystal for an autoriced dealer, the S inside the crown appears when you buy a crystal in an authoriced dealer!! Yo have the best sub I ever seen.

Yo have the best sub I ever seen. I's not a gen crystal, older 16610 MBWs had this "S". But it's the best rep crystal you could get
