Hey Ahlig72,

thanks for this information! Sounds very interesting, I have never heard of these cases. I only read about Phong (jewelryandwatch.com, right?), Yuki and vintagewatchmaker.

Or is Ruby here: http://ndtradingcorp.com/zen/ ? Very confusing stuff with these sources.

Best regards and thanks for your help!

No problem, I think the 1680 case is $600 and a 1680 dial is about $180 Add the 1570 and some hands and you're set

That sounds really interesting. I think I will write them and ask if they provide save shipping to the EU because of the customs. If they do, I would probably pull the trigger.

Thanks a lot!

Where are you based, shipping is safe for me in the UK, not sure about other EU countries,maybe triangle shipping via uk if you're somewhere like Germany where customs can be a pain in the arse

Hi! Yes, it‘s Germany and you are absolutely right - messing with the customs is not much fun here ... :baghead:

When I get stuff sent from outside of the EU I try to get them to put a value of £30 and something like watch parts for repair on the invoice,I've never had a problem so far but the UK isn't too bad for customs

All right! Thanks for the advice. Or maybe I will do it via a friend of mine outside from Germany.  That may be the safest way.

It looks anything from very dark brown (almost black) to light golden brown depending on how the light catches it, it really does look nice in the flesh

It's 600 dollars for the complete case set (I'm guessing but she quoted me $600 for the 5512 case so it should be the same)

But I have to understand if the case is good like the phong one, I can’t find any other comments about ruby case..
