jjfesq Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 I sent my MBW 1680 to Ziggy. He installed a gen face, gen crystal, matched the hands to the face, drilled for gen springbars and serviced the movement. The watch already had a reworked bezel and pearl, gen crown and tube along with shaped cg's. I think the result is outstanding. Here is a public thank you very much to our resident master Ziggy. JJ My Daddy loves his 1680Z!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freddy333 Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 Very cute future WIS & Ziggy did a great job (love that dial), but I would double-check your crown.........it does not look gen to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephane Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 JJ, congrats but now I'm seriously jalous! Wow, that gen face Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P4GTR Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 Fantastic piece. Wear it well Does the pearl seem a little off center, or is it the pics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjfesq Posted March 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 Thanks freddy, I'll ask the prev owner about the crown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cats Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 Great looking watch you got here. Stunning dial As Freddy already said the crown looks also a bit strange to me. Concerning the pearl i think that a Ofrei pearl or a gen insert with gen pearl will be a big improvement. Carpe Diem Cats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alligoat Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 Beautiful watch! This is what it's all about- builiding a great rep/franken. And Ziggy does a fantastic job- especially for a guy who's not a Rolex fan. This is the kind of watch you can wear anywhere w/o nary a worry. I do agree about the crown- if you look at the side view, you will notice the emblem and dots are flat. On a gen crown, the crown emblem and dots would have more definition.
