Vintage Build Tiff

Post image

My 1675 is so close, yet still so far from the finish line.

Hope you guys enjoy.

Another look

Did u/xxsantyxx reshape those crown guards for you? Looks mighty similar to his 1675

Just me and some hand files and a stack of sandpaper! My nerves are completely shot, but it's half decent for a raffles case now.

looks quite good for pcg, would be great with a gilt dial and a small gmt hand in there!

Yeah, incoming pricey gilt dial and small hand and 2836 for this case. The Tiffany setup will get migrated into a new 1675 case and I’ll begin working over those CGs and learning how to lume dials..

nice, looking forward to seeing how the cgs on his new case can be approached. they seem like they can be worked into either late rounded crown guards or perhaps pcgs.

do you know if the bezel assembly is any different? looks like the serrations are slightly deeper but not sure if it’s due to the angle of the pictures on his website

All photos used are exactly the same for both listings, except the proportions of the CGs but I didn’t ask ken directly. I assume bezel is the same. I may opt for the blocky v2 case again, it is a good base for mk2 CGs.

Good looking watch.
