for me sourcing all parts of 1675 in a good condition would cost much more than 7/8k...

Im fixing up my step dads old 5513 from 1965. I have the majority of the original watch so Im lucky in that sense. However, it is still a lot of back and forth to get it restored, so Im not sure I would start from scratch

Ah projects, I have a few. Will I ever finish them? I'm seriously considering dumping all these parts in a bag and sending it to some innocent watchmaker to sort out.

I really like that look. My old 16550 never gets any wrist time nowadays, maybe I should change it up!

No I paid $5000 for it. Yes it is. I have the correct “mk4” insert for it, I wanted a ghost insert but won’t be dropping the money on one. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro |

Sorry I’m confused. You paid $5000 for what exactly? The aftermarket ghost insert? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It was a semi rhetorical question. Most importantly I wanted to make sure you didn’t purchase it thinking it was the real deal. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I knew that’s what you meant. I was just jacking around. I have been seeing some dicey looking parts pop up, I hope everyone vets/looks at each part before buying. Especially dials on EBay/Chrono24. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro |
