XRT Posted June 28, 2006 Report Posted June 28, 2006 WM case and dial vintage lume on dial markers/hands case refinished, lug holes drilled out genuine Tropic and aftermarket crown/tube genuine insert (work by RBJ)
TwoTone Posted June 28, 2006 Report Posted June 28, 2006 That's a very nice piece XRT... Wear it well... TT
SubFrog Posted June 28, 2006 Report Posted June 28, 2006 Holy Cow...that's one fine looking time piece. OK, now I need one!!!!
AMK000 Posted June 28, 2006 Report Posted June 28, 2006 I got the same from Watchmaster last year. Great piece.
XRT Posted June 28, 2006 Author Report Posted June 28, 2006 Thank you gentlemen. I posted some pictures of a different WM red 1680 a while back...that watch is now on the wrist of some US Postal worker. After RBJ did some work on it and sent that one out in the mail it never made its' way out of his local post office. I'm no postal employee, but I almost "went postal." Fortunately this is an isolated incident, but a painful one. Now, many months later I finally have a replacement that is even nicer than the first version.
miquel Posted June 28, 2006 Report Posted June 28, 2006 Very, very nice. That gen insert sure makes a difference.
alligoat Posted June 29, 2006 Report Posted June 29, 2006 Nice watch and nice rivetted bracelet, an early red sub, no doubt!
XRT Posted June 29, 2006 Author Report Posted June 29, 2006 Nice watch and nice rivetted bracelet, an early red sub, no doubt! No doubt indeed. Gotta love those vintages.

XRT Posted June 29, 2006 Author Report Posted June 29, 2006 Ouch, that really sucks! it does...but my belief in Karma gives me some solice. Very, very nice. That gen insert sure makes a difference. If I could find a "bowing" smilie I would dedicate it to Mr Ubi.
ubiquitous Posted July 1, 2006 Report Posted July 1, 2006 it does...but my belief in Karma gives me some solice. If I could find a "bowing" smilie I would dedicate it to Mr Ubi. Many, many thanks! I am glad to see that the gen insert has found it's way onto your beautiful watch! It looks great! I recently parted with my 1680, but have another in the works to replace it Once you've had one, it's hard to live without...
erd04056 Posted July 2, 2006 Report Posted July 2, 2006 My self modded 1680 is by far my favorite. It sees more wrist time than all my others combined. I also have the rivited bracelet. Very nice watch you got there!
