Inspired by Seb's & Greg's sharp 1675 & 1680 with equally vivacious case profile today.

My 1960 GMT with Mk1 PCG to start the knives throwing exercise ;-)

Awesome GMT Chris!

Two of mine. Perhaps not razor sharp but still sexy as..

JustinK · 9 April 2015, 10:13 AM

My 1665 and 16800.

PoderEsBueno · 9 April 2015, 02:47 PM

Here goes mine for the case lovers

- both from 1972.

Vincent65 · 10 April 2015, 12:48 AM

A subject close to my heart.

In the spirit of this thread, I just took these [rather inferior quality, sorry] photos of the raw, unpolished case on my 1.6mil 1967 MK1 1675.

I'll see what I can find of the 1680, 9411/0 and 16600 - which are all unpolished, also. Or take some new ones.

Chris - nothing to rival the sublime chamfers on the early 60s case designs, such as yours, as you know they 'evolved' to slowly disappear over the decades, sadly, but at least up to 1990 there was something of the old lines left...

Vincent65 · 10 April 2015, 01:05 AM

OK, I dug up a few of the 2.6mil 1680 Red - not exactly macro, but you can get the essence of what's there.

Vincent65 · 10 April 2015, 01:17 AM

16600 SD: E-serial

Vincent65 · 10 April 2015, 01:48 AM

...and the 9411/0 845XXX serial (c'76) Tudor Sub Flake:

Great chamfers, guys!

The super fat chamfers on the early models are so

LunetteVerde · 10 April 2015, 02:59 PM

Yes Karl, we are geeky in that way - VR NUTZ !!! Its a shame that this trend has gradually ended although we have re-issue like Tudor heritage. NOT the same IMO

But it seems we still have a lot of honest pieces around without cosmetic & botox treatment cases LOL!

Merci beaucoup for the pixs mon ami - manifique!
