thl Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 Hi, 1665 is an old passion , so I started modifying mine one: - Base MBW 1665 from Watchmeister - Case-set bought by a forum member - Dial vintageing by me - Riveted bracelet ( to be changed, it doesn't accept 2 mm springs) - Original insert Just finished, took a few shots with phone, any idea on what is wrong and what sohould be made is very welcome thanks for looking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoJo35 Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 Hi thl, You did a great job on the dial and hands. Are you sure that's an original insert? Appears to be a gen lumi to me. The next step would be trimming the crown guards, drilling the lug holes to accept gen spring bars, possibly installing a gen crown, and the addition of a clarks T-39 superdome. Good luck with your project! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 JoJo is correct- gen insert w/ luminous, not the old tritium. Also correct on the rest of the mods! Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thl Posted October 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 Thanks folks, you're right, insert is gen but not its original, so it's time to change crystal and drill here and there. I'll let you know. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
