DIY Marlon Brando 1675

[Big_Pilot]

How would one go about making a Marlon Brando 1675 copy?

Just love the "I don't give a f*ck" look of it.

Easiest way I can come up with is order a BP version from TD or DHgate, and pull off the bezel. Heard some one in other post mention ugly plastic glass retainer ring would show. Is this the case?

Some nice pics on Hodinkee article.

Buy the BP, take off the bezel and see what you have. If it's plastic, you could order a 1675 crystal retaining ring and maybe install it. When I built my 1675 Pan Am, I started with a cartel 1655 case and got the bezel assembly from Clark's. Don't know if he still sells those or not.

The Clark assembly is a good copy of the gen assembly.
