My new 1680

Recommended Posts

ebzen02

I just received this today and as soon as I got home I started tinkering with the damn beauty.. I thought I might trim down the cg and crown.. Further mods will include a relume or perhaps an ingod dial.. I will also change the hands to something a bit more accurate.. I know that I will blow my budget soon :yoda:

 

With EMM permission I will post a pic of the before and after.. only thing that has changed is the trimming of the CG and crown.. I also polished the case (I like the shinning case look).. I will trim the crown a bit more.. Any suggestions regarding the cg?

 

Before (CG/Crown)

After (trimmed CG and stock Crown)

Thoughts.. (might trim the crown just a tad more)..

Very nice piece,

 

Could you show a 3/4 profile photo from the CG side ? I will show you what you have to do, usually these cases have to much metal under the CG area

 

imho : the dial is sharp, I would suggest to stay away from ingod44 dials, save your money

 

for the lume, its just a little to yellow (my taste), but looks ok as it is
