You can't do this to a MBW DRSD as the HE valve is part of the case and not a seperate component. Most of the Gen photos I have (200+) show the HE valve shiny as opposed to matt.

Really nice finish you have achieved.

Yes the white dial version has a flat Tropic 39.

Well I have finally finished working the CG's on my MBW 1665 and I think I pretty much have them as good as I can get. Here is a quick shot as compared to the genuine model I was trying to emulate. Can't wait to get back my white letter dial from The Zigmeister!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See what you think. GENUINE MBW 1665

Klink, I have moved on with this and have been re-instated at RWI. Just to put the record straight this is the PM IN FULL that you sent to me:- "Choice of three dials" "Never worn" Go the f*ck away if you think we dont know you are dealing.. You keep this up, one more post, you banned. Why not just pm and ask? Think we all fools? Cheers, Klink I think you did use a profanity, albeit asterisked, (unless you meant to say - fack, feck, fick or fock) and you did threaten banning (see above). Maybe I take such good photographs you think I am a dealer. If you think this is an edited version of your PM then post what you believe to be your recollection of it in full. I know different. Life is better :-(

As promised I will post no further on this topic until you have tried to resolve the issue.

The misunderstanding and overreaction is entirely on his part. I had purchased a Breitling Navitimer from Joshua quite a while ago (before I got into vintage Rolex's). At the time he sent the watch he also sent a spare black stick dial as a favour. I subsequently asked him for a white stick version, to buy, and he very kindly sent it for nothing (that's the kind of dealer he is). I also aquired a blue dial from another source. That is why I was able to offer a choice of dial for the buyer. If Klink could have been bothered to ask politely instead of sending that PM, I would have given him the same explanation. I don't like being accussed of being a liar.

Those abusive and accusing words are a direct copy taken from his PM to me. Why should I ask HIS forgiveness? He should be apologising to me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Edited: I have now been banned!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't believe the following PM that was sent to me after I advertised 3 watches for sale on RWI. I followed all their rules and still I received this PM:- "Choice of three dials" "Never worn" Go the f*ck away if you think we dont know you are dealing.. You keep this up, one more post, you banned. Why not just pm and ask? Think we all fools? Cheers, Klink What the F*** Are these guys for real. All because I have 3 DIFFERENT spare dials for a Breitling Navitimer that I bought a while ago from Joshua and I offered this for sale with the choice of which dial the buyer prefered. Then I would have sold off the spare dials at another time, I would have thought that any civilised moderator would have first asked politely why I was offering a choice of dial (although I can't see what's it got to do with them)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So now they have not only nuked a GENUINE for sale item but also they have NUKED a Sea-Dweller and LV I had advertised. The moderator asked a question in his abusive PM "Think we all fools?" No not all just you. Thank the Lord for RWG and TRC.

He is certainly the best with relumes. BY FAR, nobody comes close.

Give them a ring. Let them know the inside and outside diameter and thickness of the O ring you require and I am certain they will have the right size in stock. Doesn't need to be too accurate as they are made out of rubber!!!!!

Sorry to ask, but are you sure those springbars are genuine or the right ones? They seem to stick out from the lugs and mine do not. I know mine are genuine 19mm Daytona springbars. See below.

The MBW bezel isn't that accurate as the fonts are too bold, even for a vintage.

Welcome on board. Hope you like vintage Rollies!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No. I'm just more obsessive!!! I have already been, ever so slightly, changing the shape of the CG's again tonight!!!!!! Will post some more pics at the weekend.

Just thought I would share some new photos I took yesterday of a couple of my modded watches. ENJOY!!!! DW 6263. Genuine Tropic, genuine crown and tube. Movement serviced by me. Chrono works perfectly. Genuine springbars fitted. MBW DRSD. Dial relumed by The Zigmeister. Genuine pearl & Bezel insert, genuine tropic 39 superdome, genuine crown and tube, CG's modded, lugholes drilled and genuine springbars fitted. Complete with rivetted bracelet. All my own work. ENJOY. OOps forgot to mention bold font date wheel fitted!!!!

Took some new pictures as I intend selling the LV and Navitimer. So I took the opportunity at the same time to photograph my MBW 1665 and my DW 6263. What do you think? MBW 1665 changed from the white dial version. Relumed dial by The Zigmeister, rivetted bracelet fitted, gen crown, tube, bezel insert, gen superdome 39, CG's modded, date wheel changed to a bold font version, case and bracelet refinished and lug holes drilled and fitted with gen springbars. Don't think I forgot anything!!!!! DW 6263 with gen tropic 21, gen crown and tube. DW movement serviced by me, runs perfectly and chrono resets as well. Boy I do like this watch. Breiting Navitimer from Josh. Never really worn this as I like my vintage Rolex's too much. Slide rule lines up perfectly. Movement serviced by me. Chrono runs and resets perfectly, everytime. Even got 3 spare dials to change the mood!!! Last but not least LV Sub from Homer. Great rehaut, modded CG's (PERFECT), new bezel insert fitted. Bezel tightened up and case and bracelet refinished and oiled.

Amazing what can be done with those NOS acrylic pearls. I still have 6 left!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well done Randy
