Some Vintage Spirit Submariner 1680 ( work in progress)

[tribal 23]

Hello Gang,

Need a good 1680 so I will build one.

Base is a ugly JKF Sub.

 

 

 

There is not really much to use from the entire watch.

 

 

 

I reshaped the whole Case reworked the CG's, drilled and reshaped the Lugs.

 

After some polishing I installed a gen Tropic 127 and a rare 702 Crown and Tube from Athaya.

 

 

 

The Date was really bad so I decided to install a great open 6&9 Datedisk

 

 

 

Also the Inlay is bad, so here we go a new one

 

 

Put this together now to see how it comes out.

 

A new Dial is on his way because the stock one is bad in my opinion.

 

Will keep us updated when all is finished

 

Thanks for looking

 

Cheers Tribal

Do you make builds for others as well? If so, how much would a build like this cost? I am interested.

This is a great build! Was retapping the jkf for the tube easy for you?

Thanks. Yes if you have the right tool for it. But the Tubehole must be countersunk too.

I don't think you have to retap for an Athaya crown and tube.  You do have to countersink.  The only time I had to retap was for the big crown models.  Been a while though.
