Which 1680 to go after???

[roro6263]

Roro, they are not the same watch. They are different cases and each has its strengths and weaknesses.

Rearding the 93150, I am very happy with mine from Angus. It has almost no stretch after 2 years of daily wear, and the best partis the link edges are smooth. I can carve wood with the edges of my Explorer 1 bracelet, but this one is really nice.

Mendota,
Angus replied me for the 93150 bracelet with 580 endlinks.
But he gave me a link for the bracelet only ($50)
The direct link for the complete watch with this bracelet does not exist ?
When you bought from him your 1680, was it an additional purchase ?
And he did not answer to my question about the correct (or not) engraving between lugs. On yours, is it correctly marked 1680 or 5513 ?

Thanks for all.:

Hi roro,

Ryan told me he can source the specific watch. Red sub

Hi,

I sent a new email to Ryan and here is his response !:

Well you can still buy from Puretime , if you like.

I just prefer personal transactions

Me too.

I'm waiting for the Puretime's answer about the bracelet.
Have you seen what I wrote above ? He gave me a link for the bracelet as an option purchase.
Did you get your 1680 as a complete watch with the good 93150 bracelet ?
Sorry if my English is approximate. Hope you'll understand well what I mean.:bored:

I feel bad but i still cannot visualise the differences between these two bracelets and no one repsonded to my request for some pic comparison.

I can see only difference between the initial bracelets i posted in the beginning. If you can please post some pics.

I recently bought a vintage Sub with brown tropic dial from Angus, sorry I don't have a digicam right now to take pics.

I LOVE the watch - no expert but I really like the size and, well, it's different, exotic. Goes great with my vintage safari jacket and pith helmet (kidding).

I got it with the stock bracelet which is a molded tin can, so tinny.
Had to re-size it, the link screws were some of the worst most stubborn I've ever dealt with.

I'm no expert but he watch sems to be replicated very nicely, I highly recommend Angus version.

I just saw a (beaten up) GEN add today for 4.995,00 aprox

Ask Angus to source you a 93150 bracelet with 580 endlinks instead of the stock bracelet. The stock is a 93250 which is actually a SEL stamp. It will add a few days or a week to your delivery time while he gets it, but it is well worth it. He did that for me no problem. Many gen owners actually store the 9315 and use a 93150 for daily wear since it is light years more comfortable. The original bracelet configurations were hair grabbers and by now have considerable stretch, so in most instances the bracelet sits in the watchbox and the watch head is on a 93150 or a Nato or leather band.

Mendota, Angus's watch has a 93150 stamped bracelet.
But i also see a 285 marking, what does this mean?

You know that if you intend NOT TO DO ANY MODS Angus version is the best out of the box....

Why decided on Cartel version instead bro?

What is the difference between 285 and 580 links?

Also Roro please keep in mind that Josh's version does NOT feature a low beat movement.

 

[roro6263]

Yes, I know.
As I said, I need 2 (1 for a friend) and this one looks great for him.
More, the email exchanges with Josh were excellent and very fast, it's important.
So let's go.:facepalm:

 

[GeDi]

but do you know difference between 285 and 580 endlinks?

 

[roro6263]

but do you know difference between 285 and 580 endlinks?

Not at all.:
I (we) simply read that the 93150 bracelet with 580 endlinks was a good choice.

Too late :beatahorse: Watch is shipped.
Thank you for this, it'll serve as a lesson !!

 

[GeDi]

No worries buddy, you still have the second to be ordered. So you choose the best for you... No need to mention high and low beat movement to your friend.

Of course.:thumbsup:
And why is it annoying in fact it was not a low beat mvt ?

Correction : Watch is not shipped, but what can I do apart cancel?
And It's not my way of doing. I usually assume.

Mendota, Angus's watch has a 93150 stamped bracelet.

I think the 285 endlinks are specific to 1665, whereas 580 is for sub and gmt.
