Cartel 1675 GMT build for TxRob779 - PIC HEAVY!!!

[Mendota]

The stock insert will fit but if your going to the trouble to have a more gen like bezel, get the new insert too. It looks alot better IMO.

Does an insert come with the $42 bezel package or is that separate?

How do you know which Clark insert to get? If I remember correctly, he has a lot of them listed.

 

[txrob779]

No the inserts are seperate...the 1675 inserts or email Gary and ask,,,,tell him robbie sent ya

I just ordered the bezel package and it says that it comes with an insert.

That's such a really sweet deal! Let me know you think too.

Question: will this fit the Trevor 1675? That is what I was thinking of buying.

I spotted the new Clarks bezel set yesterday. When I bought mine, he had ten for sale. They are all sold now! You get the bezel. the crystal retaining ring and the insert.
$40 was a no brainer. I wouldn't have known about this if it wasn't for you guys, so thanks!
Now I need a watch to go under it..lol
I am thinking of the explorer route or the trevor 1675.

Any thoughts on the Clark bexel plus the Trevor watch?

Or, is there a better base to start with?

One cool thing about the Trevor watch, you can drop a gen 2846 low beat in it and do the correct hand stack for 100$ like sneed did.

Rick dropped a 2846 in mine....sure did....

So there was a 1675 thread featuring this watch over on RWG Board. The link seems to have died now. Anyone know - is that forum down?

UPDATE: so after getting this all put together the new/used Swiss ETA was found not to be working properly. It would run for a long time and then stop. So I sent it off to CLS, who's not a TWS here, but he was very fast, super professional, and very reasonably priced. After getting it back she went back together and here is the result.

Timed from CLS

I have a few outside pictures to get but this is takes care of the building. Rob wanted a vintage 1675 and I think with the minimal amount of money that was used this came out better than I had hoped for. It really has and Genuine mystic to it. It looks old, used, and yet well taken care of too. This has been a fun educational build for me as well as Rob. Hope you guys all enjoyed it.
Thanks
Rick
