Doing my first modding steps (so don't laugh!!) on this Cartel 1680
Lol
So far I
- bleached the insert
- installed a Sternkreuz crystal (cyclops sits much better than the Cartel that I also bought)
- installed a 700 Athaya crown and tube
- lightly sanded the case to get rid of the shiny polish
- sanded the bracelet

Next of course
- working on the CG's
- drilling 2mm lugholes
- repolish case
- Aging/reluming dial and hands (trying to find a complete vintage set ready-to-go but so far I didn't find it)

Thanks to @kilowattore for all his help, advice and patience!
