Here is my 1680 I finished yesterday. I have to set everything but tell me what you think. I know I need a band. But the case is Phong's Son who is putting his dad to shame. He is doing a lot better work than his dad. He is a little more money but worth it. Just look at the quality. This is the aged look.

Love it Rob although I don't know about that strap. May look better using a pair of shoelaces [emoji87]
Quite the collection you have built in these past few months! It's a tough call but a good problem to have.

I am having a blast. Its been a few years. Though the past few months I started to go back past the 5 digit watches. I got rid of all my watches that I couldn't upgrade with real movements. All of those have real movements minus the black and gold 16613. I also left out my 16710 which as of last week is 100% Rolex. Thanks Mike for the deal on the 3185. I really am having a great time working on watches. My next thing is to master the Yuki movement. I also have like and I am not kidding, like 10-15 ETA's and clone ETA 2824 and 2836's sitting and some broken down into parts. I am going to service them and get them working and sell them and start to build up the cases and parts and dials I have here. Or just post them for sale after I get them running and serviced!!!!
Not much to not like. The fine details still need work but only like 10% of us actually know what a real dial or bezel look like. But the quality of the case on the 3135 one is very nice. Even the bezel build is nice. I used just an insert. They have come a long way from the old Swiss Rolex copy from china.
