My Vintage Rolex 1680 modded. PICS.

Recommended Posts

Kwt

Hi all,

 

Thought I post some pics of a build that modder Pratt over at RWI built for me. I missed selling one of his pieces so asked he could build me a Rolex.

 

- Aged case.

- Aged pearl.

- Aged hands.

- Spider Cracked Dial.

- Faded blue/grey bezel.

 

He said the cyclops was a bit blurry but it didn't bother me and added to the vintage look. It also didn't have any bezel clicks but again not bothered either.

Cheers dude. Yeah he said he only had a new bracelet which I said was ok. Not sure how to even distress a bracelet!

Love the 1680 wear it well. I have been searching for a gen 1680 from 1973 for a few weeks now. The search continues!

Not a big fan of distressed but I do like the way the dial came out.

Good luck in your search and your wallet! A 1680 mint is not going to be cheap.

Nice dial and insert, not in love with that pearl.

Pratt is a serious builder indeed.

Let her shine often, Kwt.
