This is mine... it's a heavily reworked JKF case as the base, MQ dial, Bivintage insert (with CAC pip), Athaya crown, Clarks crystal and a low beat DG2813.
I'd say you nailed it. Are the hands JKF too?

Asking for a little help here guys. Ive spent the last couple years focused on Vintage Panerai 3646, Mille Metri and 6152/1 But now I really feel like getting back in the Vintage Rolex game. I have found Phong and Rubys but cant find a link to Milk case and I need the best 1680 bezel insert without buying genuine So suggestions please with links. I'm also considering a 7206 rivet bracelet, Any suggestions for that. Oh and besides Phong and Ruby who has Viet Dials? I would really appreciate the help. Thanks
Hello sharing my BLUE DIAL NIPPLE 1680 built by YODOG.. After this was built I had YODOG at a GEN 1680 insert.. The GEN insert had a much better PIP and it had silver around the PIP not gold.. Def much nicer but cost a bunch...
SPECS
Vietnam 1680 case
SWISS 2824 MOV & CHAMP DW
REP INSERT ON PICS but added GEN after pics where taken
Ewatch 18kt BEZEL -- GEN BEZEL was 2k -worn to crap on feebay, so bought the Ewatch for about 660$
GEN NOS CROWN RLX
GEN Daytona 2-tone bracelet
DIAL-- This is interesting part.. Its def GEN NIPPLE but its believe to have been refinished at some point. Its gorgeous DIAL but has RED SUB FONTS on dial where it states 200.. Very odd... I bought DIAL thinking NOS, but got caught with my pants down- Still enjoy it!

Yodog does amazing work!Here is a UPDATE picture with the GEN INSERT
I'm trying to build a great 1680 red using a Viet case and Dial , Maybe even using a Tropic dial and silver insert just to mix things up. If anyone has suggestions for parts suppliers let me know also whos your favorite builder?
For now I can show you my old 1680s from Bob&Shawn a WBK and a bone stock cartel that I never touched.
