NCRich 13,744 Posted July 25, 2018 Mostly for my own cataloging, this is a 1675 very budget, lightly aged. Oh and the work......dial was matte sprayed, indices were aged, lume stripped from the hands, relumed to match. Case was drilled and little bit of CG work. Repolished.

Logixa 8 Posted July 25, 2018 Payment sent No seriously, what did this cost in parts and from where did you source them? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SamsonAusKognito 31 Posted July 25, 2018 Truly amazing build Rich, I‘m a bit jealous on you for this beauty. Wear it in good health and let it age a bit with you together. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That is dead stock, other than my work and some correct springbars. I'm not sure what they cost right not. I got it from MR. They used to be $130, I think they have gone up.

RussP 22,106 Posted July 25, 2018 Awful watch, Rich. In the spirit of the forum, I'll take it off your hands, purely under duress of course. Please refund the payment from Logixa though... Actually, keep his funds, just for laughs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Daywatch 4 Posted July 25, 2018 Once You try a 1675 - You don´t need another watch. Love near stock/ budget projects that achieve this kind of look. Really well done. Love it:) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
