Hey Hun,

Cases are Phong's forte. However dials, inserts, etc aren't. I would recommend sourcing other parts separately, finding a donor movement from a 1500 Rolex date, and putting everything together from there (or sending it to an RWG approved watch smith to assemble). It will take longer to source everything, but you will be MUCH happier when it's all together as you'll likely have more gen parts, better aftermarket parts (accuracy-wise), and a story behind your franken

 

Good luck!

Ok, so i should start with a 1665 phong case and go for gen parts?

I have read that the phong case have some small problems with to fat cgs?

Thanks.

Hello guys.

Im going to do a complete drsd build from phong with original 1570 movement.

I was woundering If anyone have done a complete 1665 drsd build from phong before?

How good is the dial? Case? Insert? bracelet? etc?

Is it worth the money? Spending so much on phongs kit?

Thanks.

Its true

Wear this every day

Thought it was a rep, I did not bid on this one.

Bud, shouldn't you have ARed crystal?

Michal had only crystal without ar when it was built. So he installed a crystal with LEC only.

I know that rehaut engravings are missing. Sean case are without engravings.

I will maybe swap to an JF case or noob if they come out with an ym blue version.

Ok, thanks for info. Any hulk experts here?

Hey, I came across this the other day.

What do you think, look at the bad pics, LEC is very visible, should not this model have rehaut engravings?

Ebay item nubmer: 171531405469

Hi, was looking at ebay today and i found this one for sale. Look at this item number:

Very rare piece. Green Dial and Green Ceramic insert. Dont know about the price, but its expensive

Its not only the size of the wrist that matters mate many People i seen with a dssd pull it off with a small wrist more how your wrist is round flat etc only way to find out try one

OK, thanks for the info

Nice build,the best on the forum, so far I want a blue/black dssd. But I'm afraid that its too big for my wrist :-/

Really nice watch you have there, Ezio. Would love to see some pictures of the work on the case

Wow, looking Good om3ga Mike is a great guy

Here are some quick photos. Not the best pics, but.... Thanks.

Hers and his.

I would normally agree to stay away from phong's dials (cases are great) but I had a look at his red dials and 2/3 are actually quite good, the third is horrid and doesn't match with any known gen examples. Make sure you are getting one of the two good ones.

Edit the two comparo's are both gen top phong bottom

Ok, thanks for Good info any other Good 1680 dials you know of?

Phong has good cases (that will still need modding), but that's about it!

I'd suggest getting Michael Young 1680 hands if you're going to go aftermarket.

It's tough to find an accurate gen-feet placement red dial. To me they just don't exist.

I believe Misiekped has a 1570 date disc for sale in the parts section that is appropriate for your build

Thanks. What modding on the case is required?

Michael Young? Who is that and where can i find hands?

Hi. Im want to do a vintage build, so i want to buld a 1680 from phong.

Parts from phong:

1680 Complete case.

1680 Red dial.

1680 Hands.

All aged to get the vintage look.

Gen Rolex 1570 movement.

What date disc do you recommend? And where can i buy?

Buy a gen Bracelet or rep? Or go with Nato?

What do you think about phong's parts? Good? Over priced?

Thanks for input

Ok, im helping some one to find new parts. The link you have does not work.

Thanks.

It's a 6536/1

Many thanks for fast reply.

Hi, what model is this rolex?

And can somebody help me find complete bezel, insert assemble?

New or used.

Thanks.

Me 2

Sorry.

I looked at the pics again.

As Ceocorona says it looks like a Sean YM.

The grey color on dial is lighter than wm9, wm9 has green ish lume and seans is white.

Yachtmaster script on dial is thicker on wm9 also.

So its a Sean YM.
