It all started with a JK Factory 1:1 Standard rep. Aghast that the watch was not truly 1:1, I promptly got work. This would require all the skillz I could muster up. The whole watch was carefully dissected, cataloguing each and every part, piece, and thing in it. Parts were then replaced, most things were aged, other parts were reshaped with big electric tools & surgeon-like precision, and the remaining parts were relumed. After about 12-15 months a labor we arrive here.
Today, with great privilege, I unveil to you a fully reworked, fully disassembled (and intricately reassembled), 1:1 Ultra Premiere Top +++ 1680 Red.
In all seriousness, we arrive at 1:1 Ultra Premiere Top +++ quality with the following specs:
- JK Factory 1680 Red base
- WSO bezel assembly (bezel, insert, spring, & retaining ring)
- Clark’s crystal
- Athaya crown and tube
- 2mm spring bars
- WSO end links
- A2813 low-beat movement
- Fully relumed hands and dial
- Matte textured dial
- Reshaped case and CG’s
- Freshly cut lug bevels
- Redrilled lugs
- Fully repolished case
- Lightly aged Bracelet
- Lightly aged insert
- Custom made pip
- Careful aging for all over consistent aged quality
- The joy of replacing a sweep wheel in an A2813 cause it came with a glued sweep hand
Thanks for looking!
