    Crude to say the least; a snapshot of the DW mystery movement. It looks rough... And most of them fail pretty quickly. This is one of the few exceptions I think (it helps that it's been serviced by Zig)... Been running strong for the last 7 years...

    So true! The 16610 is an absolute classic; one of those timeless pieces that looks good now, and will continue to do so in another 50 years.

    Thanks much, gang. The back is a Preik; very well done item and a little different for a Rolex. I figure that the bulk of this build was dial/hands and movement; might as well be able to see it all! By-Tor; the collection is holding steady right at around 10 pieces or so, which is really where I like to keep it. Trying to maintain too many watches can be more than enough to keep my hands full with regards to servicing/overhauls etc. While I try and complete 2 to 3 decent builds per year, I'm finding that taking the kids to Disneyland every 3 months is even more fun watcher- Thanks, sir, however you have quite the ability as well! Actually, it was one of your threads that really made me consider doing an LV for a Summer watch I started off with the thought of maybe doing just the maxi dial/hands with an LN bezel, but before long I found myself really appreciating the LV bezel as well. Certainly nice for a change and to add a little color to the collection!

    V23; no 6:00 register on either Swiss V23 or the DW misery movement; the 6:00 hand is more or les glued on. For Mrs. Ubi... She's fine with that. But for V72, I'd recommend just starting from parts, not a base watch to convert/modify: http://www.rwgforum.net/topic/120135-daytona-6265-ubi-style/

    If yours is the mystery movement then swapping the V23 is 1:1; one comes out and the other goes in The V72 won't fit becuase of the height of the movement; that 6:00 register adds some height. No; true mystery movements are similar to a V23. Not quite a V23 but the closest thing to. Their origin is unknown, but with regards to function/layout/design, they emulate the V23.

    Mrs Ubi has an old DW with Mystery Movement: The movement can be swapped out with a Swiss V23, but not a V72 as the crown position is different between the two. If your MM is one of the few that is running well, I'd just leave the movement as-is.

    Love the clean/pristine look!

    The code on mine (which was purchased as a v2/v3 combination) is 'DE', which would be a replication of a 2001 clasp if I recal correct...

    Thanks sir; I just put the LV together as a Summer beater; some additional details/background here if interested http://www.rwgforum.net/topic/159531-project-build-16610lv/ Mrs. Ubi is rocking my vintage PPCo today...

    Well done, sir! Love it!

    I think at the right price (and this applies to both rep and gen), the answer is yes

    Had a look; I think I gave them out already Thought I had them still, but I went through all my crowns and not a single one. Sorry...
