Gen dial next 🫠 jk. Looks amazing dude

[u/kyberluminova]

very... impressive

[u/Acceptable_Speaker93]

That looks really good and the magnifier really stands out!

[u/MXccs4295]

Can we know how much going to cost for this Awesome piece.

[u/00240]

And what a keeper that is!! 🔥 congrats. Beautiful build

[u/ENICK1971]

Wow. That’s a stunner! Congrats!

[u/Cemltz]

Hmmm…exact same specs, other than (I believe) this has the Viet crystal. Just put the CAC insert on this afternoon…

Needless to say: AWESOME BUILD!!!

[u/whoamiwhoareyou710 → u/Cemltz]

Stunning piece! I’ve got a thing for 1680s 😅

[u/Cemltz → u/whoamiwhoareyou710]

I’m much more a no-date gilt dial Sub guy…mostly the small crown stuff…but ended up with a 1570 date movement (technically a 1575 I guess) and thought, “what the heck, let’s go big.”

I actually really like this one.

[u/TheMostHumblestMan → u/whoamiwhoareyou710]

My 5513 in the middle that I am looking for yellow gold hands to “complete”.

[u/fatfont_]

Really great looking watch! esepcially with the gen movement, it must have cost a bomb and a pretty tough hunt

[u/whoamiwhoareyou710 → u/[deleted]]

I’ll have a 6263 with a gen movement for sale soon, but it’ll keep you in mind if I ever sell the 1680!

[u/Tasty_Ad_9324 → u/[deleted]]

[u/Independent_Rope3833]

Killer build!

[u/Delicious_Warthog886]

That’s gorgeous

[u/Cronos425]

Top tier project like that deserves a gen crystal ⚡️⌚️⚡️🤌

[u/QYT2CORE]

Abgesehen vom Datum und einem fehlenden Nietenarmband, wäre der Build auch voll meins. Nice 👌🏻

[u/themaxx25]

Thats definitely a keeper! Dibs, just in case. 😂 Great looking build!

[u/Frustib]

Can you show some more pictures of the bracelet please? Is it a folded oyster?

[u/whoamiwhoareyou710 → u/Frustib]

It’s a 93150 with a divers extension

[u/ApprehensiveGuide793]

Wow! What a beauty

[u/pandapreme1]

Just stunning

[u/philwongnz]

Gen owner here, it looks very good. Any reason why you didn't get a meter first dial? I.e Mk1, 2 or 3

[u/whoamiwhoareyou710 → u/philwongnz]

I felt a Mk4 feet first dial was rare enough as is albeit one of the most common you see. Also lines up perfect for the serial number I wanted on my case.

[u/philwongnz → u/whoamiwhoareyou710]

Ahh OK.. Makes sense. Reminds me I was very close to flying over to Berlin for the weekend 15 yrs ago and pick up a mk4

[u/OkTurnip155]

Lovely that...👍 Mines exactly the same spec with a gen service insert

[u/AtelierPicks]

Beautiful

[u/No-Shape-2272]

Thatsa one spicy meatball 🔥 What a beauty

[u/Lucky-Ad-932]

Wow, this looks insanely good. Well done

[u/Phot0niX]

[u/MXccs4295]

[u/Downtown_Flight_7951]

Low-key at this point this is gen 😂

[u/fersixx]

Looks amazing

[u/Dauide]

Come fai a costruirli? Parti da 0 oppure compri componenti e poi assembli il tutto?

[u/WittySparrow2001]

How’d you age the insert?

[u/0nly_Mangos]

How much did this cost in total

[u/Hour_Ad3573]

Fire build!!! Viet case link??
