Hi guys, I just wanted to share some pics of my 1665 Great White from Puretime. I have to give a huge thanks to JMB and Justasgood for their awesome assistance with this project as well!

Here is the list of things done:

-case/bracelet edges re-worked/smoothed

-entire watch lightly vintaged

-cgs re-shaped outside/inside

-gen t39

-custom made crystal retention ring from JMB

-gen crown

-aged bezel insert

-aged dial/hands

Here are some pics though I'm not a great photographer and disregard the dates on the pics, haha!

Yeah, JMB did a great job on the retention ring :thumbsupsmileyanim: and FxrAndy, the markers are actually more dark orange in person than yellow, I was going for that dark orange patina that I've seen on some 1665 MK1 dials. Thanks for the kudos guys!

Dont take this the wrong way, i am not knocking your work or your overall project and i am not the expert here but a MK1 would be a double red wouldn't it, however the texture and the color are good for a heavy patina

Thanks for the input guys :) I dont take anyones comments as negative, the color is just a little more on the dark orange side then yellow in person. Yeah, this was actually the first time really modding a watch this thoroughly, and the first time trying to age a dial. I was going for a look of a 1665 mk1 GW that i had seen on VRF that had a really dark orange patina that I really liked, at least thats what the poster said it was haha
