Awesome build! PBDAD is the bomb

LMAO!

i thought the fat lady used sapphire crystals.. the 116 is for 1675.

also read that the fat lady dial is same diameter as the 16710 T dials. (what that diameter is... dunno )

I've got an ingod frog's foot dial on my 1655. Going to have to get one of those 1665 rails.. looks fantastic!

I believe the Super Sea-Dweller 1:1 is discontinued..

If you find any sites that still sell them, please let me know!

If I'm wrong about it being discontinued.. my apologies

I'd be interested to find out what gen GMT IIc crystals cost. I'd be in for a couple if the price isn't too crazy.

me too!

Where is the best place to purchase those OEM Kevlar's? They are niiiiice.

Concepta knows! Ask him

For other oem straps I found: acejewelers dot com

Looks great!!!

I opened up a date window on an explorer 2 dial with a file. Nerve racking but it turned out ok!

Sea-Dweller 16600 insert and 7mm crown?

I was wondering if anyone has a good technique to turn a white dial a cream color?

Any ideas will be much appreciated!!

I've got a sec@6 Daytona rep that has been running strong for the last 5 yrs. I just had it serviced for the first time by Zigmeister, and he says it's a keeper. I think it's more luck of the draw. I've chatted with a few others on the various forums who all have had no problems with theirs.

In fact, I'm wearing it right now!

If you really love it, buy one and send it to Zigmeister for a proper tune-up and inspection. Get it lumed while it's there too!

Just be aware that a lot of them have failed...

Very cool build! I wish I had your skills!

2 thumbs and 2 big toes waaaaay up!

fascinating read. thanks! gret post!

ROFL dude shoulda bought a BK!

agreed!

This is so cool! Watching the birth of an awesome watch from something that was on it's last leg.

Inspiring! Think I'll go scour the net for watches that are fixer-uppers!

AH!! Makes sense. Thanks Panerai!

Anyone know where I can pick up a bezel and insert for the 16600? Prefer gen insert. Bezel can be gen or rep.

I bent the bejeezus out of the bezel trying to lift it off and when I tried to bend it back.. well...

The case is sent out getting lug holes drilled.. maybe I should turn it into a 16660! I love me nice semi-vintage sport rollies!

Please help me out!

Thanks guys!

does new seadweller mean DSSD?

any info on the old SSD?

omg only 1 day passed since the commission...

the waiting... driving me nuts... keep searching forum and net and looking at pics and straps..

Are they the same?

example: I get a gen Sub bezel insert. Can I put it on a SD bezel? Or vice versa.

Thanks for any answers, I'm just a noob trying to pick up some knowledge while fixing up my SSD.

you can call it awesome!

thanks guys! i will give it a go.

UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGH...

guess i'll be looking for another bezel..

Recommendations?

LOL no, actually just wanted to keep something rep on it. Just having fun with this.
