Justasgood Posted May 15, 2010 Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 I got this MBW 1665 in a trade for some shtuff. CG's were okay but beyond repair. I decided to take them off. Thinking of PVD for it and then perhaps a sterile dial and 5517 hands(Special ops). Gen crown 24-704 and Gen tube 24-703, Gen spring bars and a Nato with Rolex buckle. Feedback appreciated. Enjoy your weekend, Kurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brendo22 Posted May 15, 2010 Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 Very nice Kurt! I think PVD on it would look killer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HauteHippie Posted May 15, 2010 Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 Pretty darn nice job of removing those CGs!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justasgood Posted May 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 Pretty darn nice job of removing those CGs!!! Thanks Chief, still needs a final sand and finish but if I am going to have it PVD'd.....I may just enjoy it for a few days as is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justasgood Posted May 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 Very nice Kurt! I think PVD on it would look killer! Thanks B. I really want a sterile no date dial and military hands and bezel. I think maybe a Yao Mil Spec dial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brendo22 Posted May 15, 2010 Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 I really hope it comes together for ya, it would be an awesome little custom project. I'm loving where you want to go with it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
messenius Posted May 16, 2010 Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 I really want a sterile no date dial and military hands and bezel. I think maybe a Yao Mil Spec dial. I'd like to see how that would look with the sterile dial. But hope you have one of Bill's dials as he doesn't sell parts anymnore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intrigued Posted May 16, 2010 Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 Thanks B. I really want a sterile no date dial and military hands and bezel. I think maybe a Yao Mil Spec dial. Kurt - you will need to be quick to order any Yao dial - Bill Yao has stopped supplying all parts (to concentrate on his watches), parts are still available through his "authorized assemblers" for a while but I guess when any pattern of dial sells out - it's gone.
