I'll follow ChefCook here (almost).
- gen crown
- gen tube
- gen bezel insert
- gen tropic (not as expensive as the super dome and wonderfull)
- CG mod
- drill lugholes
- gen springbars
- gen 93150 bracelet (because you can use it on various Subs anyway)
- slow beat eta
- HE valve fix
- give dial and hands new "lume": The tritium on a 1665 should not glow anymore after that amound of time. (Indeed!)
- age everthing a bit - 1665 is an old watch, therefore it should have a slightly used look.
And, buy the way, 20K is what you should spend to get a genuine

I asked some friends about keeping or selling it and in the end it makes sense to keep it indeed.
And I must recognize that I loved to wear it these last days

@By-Tor: I think I'll follow your advice in the end.
I wore it yesterday evening at a cocktail.
While talking to one of the directors of the radio I saw he couldn't stop looking at the watch
Of course, whithout mentionning it. As it is a Rolex he was probably thinking "rep or real"
@Mrandazzo: I love the photo, splendid, really!
@JoJo: hmmm, well, you know what I mean
Hi w.genzo: I asked for a service of the mvt and stated DO NO POLISH IT.
They looked at me like if I came from Mars
Now, whit all the mess I have no idea how the watch is going to come back ...probably polished.
I'll have to scratch it all over again, which will be a pleasure
If only Ziggy came to Europe, I would do that
Last time I asked to a "local" watchmaker to fix a crystal it costed 35 euros for a 5 minute job.
I do not trust strangers, I only trust people from this community or the RSC.
Well for the double cash you can get a full watch from here:

Can't believe these prices
Is there anybody buying a dial only ?
