Good idea BT! I hope Tudors count.
I suck at taking group shots.
Top to bottom, left to right:
MBW DRSD 1665, NDT dial
J&W Tudor 7032 with VJ7734
MBW 5513 Gilt, NDT "369" dial

Gen Tudor 7016
Gen 16570

And my 5517 now in pieces awaiting a new heart transplant -some day
Completely agree BT! I'm a white dial fan.
The same holds true with gens there are always deals to be found on 16570's -particularly with the global economy.
Welcome to the club P!
Congrats on the watch, the 7032 has a cluttered uniqueness that dates it just like the 1655. They have one hell of a powerplant inside too!
Stephane,
My left over parts couldn't have met a final better ending -your MM does amazing work!
Even though my own 1655 hasn't received much wrist time lately this watch has a special place in my heart. I still find it hard to believe that I had an idea/discovery that actually panned out for once with the Flight Master hands. It makes a huge impact in the appearance.
Great post as always and wear it well my friend.
Yes, I 'm a sucker for a vintage diver... what a great you have memory Laz!
I have to say I really like the FF07 dial with the moisture indicator -always have. Boy, I have to start thinning my collection to make room for one of these.
Very nice job B16!!!
There were many variations on the FF, also displayed by the reference that Laz listed that, so an odd ball part or two is certainly possible.
My hats off to DSN, we've been waiting a long time for a vintage FF and a reasonable price to boot!
Maybe I can put this dial to use.... -finally!
That is one tasty looking gator strap R!!! And great shots as usual.
Hmmm..... that has me thinking of hitting Aaron up for a custom gator rally strap for my Monte Carlo.
Freddy is right CWP will do it, my redial was done on the original Silix dial since it was larger than a gen dial. He will also supply a base dial if it's for a standard Rolex or ETA mvmt.
I'd suggest the 6542 also! Here's a fine looking 6542 bezel insert BTW.
Hi ToadT, thanks for the kind words!
CWP is Classic Watch Parts, they do vintage restoration work, redials and custom dials and sell hard to find aftermarket Rolex parts. The stock dial was sent to him, the dial was blasted off and re-screened with the vintage toned weak lume.
NTB, unfortunately those are for gen Rolex 15xx movements and are too large to fit the ETA.
Try MkII Watches sword hands, they only come in white lume though.
I may have the same set that have been vintage lumed coming up for sale soon from my disassembled 5517 project . Here's what they look like:
