XRT Posted June 28, 2006 Author Report Share 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.

ubiquitous Posted July 1, 2006 Report Share 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin300z Posted July 1, 2006 Report Share Posted July 1, 2006 where did you get the bracelet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erd04056 Posted July 2, 2006 Report Share 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
