Hi everyone,
I could really use your advice for a build I would like to attempt. I'd like to start off with an inexpensive 1680 no-date whose case is pretty close to gen, then swap out the dial, hands, bezel, crown, maybe crystal. I already have a Swiss ETA. I've read that Puretime has the best "out of the box" 1680, and others say Cartel so I am open to your suggestions. Part interchangability may be the key here. If you were to do this - what would be your "build list"? I'll post pics as the project develops on this one!
Thanks and all comments are welcome!
Bob
