billywhiz Posted March 15, 2009 Author Report Posted March 15, 2009 Take one Andrew 2005 1st Edition Noobmariner cases, 1 recent cheap $50 16810 red Sub to break up. Pop in the case and daa laah - for less than $100 all in. CG's ain't bad, mag font aint bad, dial sits well - hey pop the pearl - put through the coin box, coffee on the dial and thats pretty much a very quick half decent looking 1680 franken - all that would be needed is dome. yay. Peace
By-Tor Posted March 15, 2009 Report Posted March 15, 2009 The red SUBMARINER font looks actually much nicer than on those MBW dials. Do you have a closeup photo of it? SELs + no lugholes on a vintage look a bit weird though... but then again when it's a $100 franken can you really complain?
billywhiz Posted March 15, 2009 Author Report Posted March 15, 2009 The other case I have ( came with 1680 ) has lugholes, a bit of chopping around would see this back in holed case pics are not very good but dial print close ups. - ~Actually when looking at this with the eye, they do look more solid - the red is very red and dial clean - the lume on the markers is absolute rubbish, looks like someones just dabbed it on, still $50 reppy, what do we expect, could always patina it.
