1675 GMT

[polexpete]

Hi guys,

I started to build a 1675 GMT a while back, you can see the original thread here:

http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showto...amp;hl=1675+gmt

The watch is based on a Silix 1675 with the original dial re-done by Micheal at CWP who done a fantastic job on it

Specs are

Gen Crown (fits original rep tube)

Gen Jubilee bracelet with 55 endlinks and 6251H clasp

Gen 116 tropic

CWP Tudor Hands aged with rep 24 hour hand

Original rep bezel insert bleached

I replaced the DW with a more realistic version also change the caseback to a brushed flat one aka the gen. Drilled the case

for gen springbars.

Just need to get the bezel milled down to look more like the gen like Too Much Gear did to his, and much thanks to TMG for some invaluable advice on this project.

Here we go:

Thanks for looking

nice old stretched jubilee look to the bracelet. The dial looks pretty good. date font is a little big but thats always accpetable on the old rollies because of different replacement crystals used throughout the years during servicing... very nice work my friend! Im really starting to like these 1675's

Excellent work so far. I think the T116 & that open 6/9 datewheel make this watch. Where did you source the movement & datewheel?

Wow that is such a lovely looking timepiece, wear it well

Beautiful job, Pete. I had to read the previous 1675 topic, and I gather that you had Michael Young redo the rep dial due to the fit problems with the gen being too small. It looks very nice, and now you don't have to look at "Oyster Perpetual Date" on the dial which is a dead giveaway. Great work and thanks for sharing.

@ freddy, the movement would be the 2836-2 which came with the watch from silix originally.

Good work... looks great!

I'd put it on the Oyster bracelet though... but that's just a personal preference... Jubil

Wow P! That looks great -glad I could help. I need to get off my butt and get my dial dealt with, Or how about I swap you a bezel for a dial

I hope things have quieted down for you now with the Olympics over?

Great job and thanks for sharing.
