This is my Double Red
(MBW/MBK)
I bought it with the following mods:
-Gen crown and tube installed
-Lugs drilled
-Gen type springbars
-Insert replaced
-Dial & hands with aged lume
-Caseback paint removed
-Case repolished and then patinated
I added a gen 93150 hollow link to dress it up.
after your comments suggestions and opinions I added:
Clarks Superdome
PMWF Bezel
Ofrei Pearl

My clark's superdome for my 1665 drsd came recently. Only problem is where can I get it changed and be sure that the work is done so that my watch will still be waterproof.
I live in NYC area (Long Island) and if someone has a person they trust for local service or a trusted US person for mail away that would do this swap for me could you please PM or post.
Thanks

Thanks for the kind advice and comments. As a vintage NewB I am Honored to have Freddy, Dluddy and the rest of you "Vintologists" "bless" my project and point me in the right direction.
what do you guys think of this pearl for a vintage look or should I stick with the ofrei?

ALSO I HAD A COUPLE OF WHOLESALE OUTLET MODERN SUB BRACELET LINKS THAT I TRIED TO INSTALL AND THEY ARE SLIGHTLY TOO BIG BOTH OUTSIDE AND INSIDE. ANY IDEAS WHERE I COULD FIND SOME AFTERMARKET BRACELET LINKS FOR THE 93150 ON THIS BAD BOY.

AS 2PAC SAID IN HIS RAP:
"Here we go; we gonna send this one out to the old school
All these motherf..kers in the Bronx, and Brooklyn, and Staten Island
Queens, and all the motherf..kers that laid it down, the foundation
yaknowhatI'msayin? Nuttin but love for the old school
That's who we gonna do this one for, ya feel me?"
HAPPY NEW YEAR

Looking at my gen next to your pics I think swiss made under the 6 marker is off a little and the dial is very good but not exact as ther is no way to mimic the platinum in the gen.
Still and all a very good rep!
