My mate mapman57 built this for me, actually a Phong 9401/0 engraved mid case 8 serial 1976,phong bezel assembly,Athaya 702 tube and crown,swiss eta,gen service insert and crystal bought off therolex forum,yuki dial and hands, gen 93150 bracelet with rep 580 end links  

Then this ones I said everything got mixed up a bit, think it was all the drugs when I broke my femur last year 

This is a mbw case, the owner before wasn't sure ?

Only just seen this , sorry , it does look pretty good and you will be covered by eBay 

I'm no expert, not sure how I got tagged but n this

Only just seen this , sorry , it does look pretty good and you will be covered by eBay 

Checked my emails and used the 2 704s so the 703 is gen , trying to figure what the others came off, think the Rep was knackered , I'll get another picture to show 

That would make sense as I have a tc and had the crown replaced to a gen 704,amazing,always great to have your expert views

I haven't really a clue, will have to go over some old emails as I had a few fitted and everything got mixed uo,as you look at them head on the one with the tube which is the left one in last photo is exactly the same as a 703 vintage I just got from sub007,

any ideas on these please, got them all mixed up

Love mine gen service top hat ,mbw case, just ordered a really nice dial

Lost the bezel of my 1665 MBW, does anyone knows where can I find one or a replacement that will fir the MBW case

Thanks

Your lucky day,i have a complete 1665 bezel assembly off a mbw snowflake i bought a while back,it was 5512 case with the 1665 fitted,i had to change it to a wso normal one ,send me a pm 

Thanks guys

Sorry to divert but would a 26mm minq dial fit in a mbw 5512 case,these cartel ones look good for the money

I picked up one the other day from a member ,its a bit older but has the 1665 assembly,what would fit it wise to change to a normal 5512 bezel,i.e. retainer ring wise,any ideas

Loving mine now,its got the gen insert,gen service 127,gen crown and gen 62510h bracelet,just have to wear it and let it age/mark a bit

Get the bp sd ,pretty good stock model,all the good dealers have it 

It's a gen service t-127 that came sealed and was sent straight off to be fitted by a friend so I can't measure, the pearl on insert is gen service as well , came off my friend on Trf who I get all my bits off , came also sealed

That's a very nice build spec! Looking forward to seeing the progress

Here's mine. Cartel midcase and back. Phong bezel assembly. Yuki insert, pearl, hands, T39 crystal. ETA 2846. Singer dial. Polexpete DWO.

Those phong bezels are so smart,I've got one as well

Something like this should fit,http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SPRING-BAR-PIN-ROLEX-SUBMARINER-5513-SEA-DWELLER-1655-1665-STRAP-BAND-STEEL-/310356147505?hash=item4842aafd31 ,I'm sure the experts will chime in soon,i did drill some of mine myself but its not so easy unless your good at those types of things,think it was 1.25 drill bit ,if you search on here I'm sure theres a thread on it

Good read here on the lugs 

Just ordered the 127,service one though,makes sense as well as all mine have no cyclops and are a bit the same looking

Sorry for hijacking thread,mines one i got a few years ago and i had a stern t-19 fitted,thinking now to stick a gen service on but whats the general view 127 top hat or t-19,on the rolex forum a lot of people had a t-19 fitted,pic of mine here 

is it a straight easy swap for the crown and tube

Thanks for the info and help,will order some and see,will update
