Thanks M. Was on the fence but now I've climbed down!

This Space Dweller is calling my name...

That's it! I meant the white dial version. Is there a white dial Space Dweller or is it fantasy?

Forgive my ignorance, but is there such a thing as a white dial 1016? I'm thinking this would be great for the girlfriend...

What's this about a crystal for a SSD v2?

I'm giving this old thread a bump. As some may remember, dvn recently put up this beautiful black Daydate for sale. I came back and looked at it constantly. We exchanged PMs but I resisted the urge for only 1 reason. I am looking for the white dial version with a foreign day wheel. It's calling out to me! Strange,but I am sure you've all been there. I've considered buying a gen Tudor which are relatively inexpensive And swapping out the day wheel for maybe a German or Spanish day wheel. Any ideas to get me started? Thanks

J, great job! It looks amazing.

Congrats mate. I actually did the opposite.I sold my gen 16610. A while back to fund a variety of high quality reps. Though I admit a gen is tops, I just love having variety in the morning. And, I'm not as rich as those guys on VRF to afford 15 gens! Enjoy your new sub!

Thanks guys. This morning, I put it back on, wound it up and by the time I had put the caseback on, it was loose again! J, I meant not deep enough. I can't get a good enough grip because it's so shallow. I will pick up some blue loctite in the morning and hopefully it works. If not, I'll have to send it out!

The one positive i see is the crystal. The old SSDs had that huge etched crystal at 6 o'clock. This new version seems to have none. Maybe we can swap out the crystal of the older models and replace with this new one? Looking for positives, fellas...

I have a lose rotor screw that no matter how tight I screw, keeps coming lose. I think it's because I can't get it tight enough as the top of the screw is almost flat and my screwdriver can barely squeeze in there. Anyone know where I can dig one up? I've been to a couple of watch smiths but they can't seem to find any around! Thanks

Good looking watch. My next SubC will have the correct hand. I've bought and sold 2 already- each better than the last. Enjoy this watch.

I'm more interested in the Rubber B rep so if I'm hijacking this thread, sorry. Please let us know on the strap! I've been itching for one but couldn't find myself to fork over $200 on rubber.

Is the rep any good?

That looks like it's gonna be nice...

I have a rep insert that looks very much like Freddy's except I have no pearl. I purchased a vintage pearl but it did not fit. That's why I've decided to go with a gen insert with pearl. My DRSD dial is an NDT dial with some PB patina lume on it. I find my that greyish-blue insert looks better on my great white dial which has a similar look as Freddy's (ie no yellowish patina).

Well, that explains it! My ignorance. Since I had been told that the insert for the 16600 did not fit the 16610, I had incorrectly assumed that the 1680 would not fit the 1665. Thanks

Is it me or are these hard to find? I see 1680's come up for sale regularly but not for the 1665. Anyone know a reliable source? Thanks

Freddy, from that angle, it looks like there is no minute track.

Does that mean that current SSD's have at least maintained their value... Glass is indeed half full!

Congrats. Enjoy her. She looks real nice. I'm thinking of trying an ST 19 while I wait to complete my silver dial V72.

I think with that bit of info, you just spilled the beans!

If you are asking if BK's LV comes with the maxi dial, the answer is yes. Just look at the pics of his offering.

Thanks

I just picked up a used MBW great white on a trade. I will post pics as soon as I can but the dial appears "sunk" on the left at 9 o'clock. At first, I thought the plexiglas was playing tricks on me. But it's definitely lopsided. Is this an easy fix? Thanks
