Yep Crick, someone's going to get a real gem. Hours upon hours of research and parts finding, a movement that's probably forty years old and most likely traveled more than I ever will, not to mention the countless man hours modding and putting it together.

Re: 1570 mvmt in my 1680

i googled it, a vintage milgaus?

that is sweet fricken super cool. I can't find any vintage rolexes local at all. earliest ones i seem to run into are late 80's :(

hey man, that is a rEAL gem you're letting go. I am most impressed with teh aged bezel; really adds to it.

and then if a watchmaker cracks it open? even the casing is aged well so it's not all super clean. and seeing the watchmovement in there is great.

Man that's a kind of vintage project i would love to aspire to.

r u sure u want to sell it then? maybe frame it and show it to the kids your younger days of yore in the future? :D
