FxrAndy Posted May 22, 2010 Report Share Posted May 22, 2010 Ok Guys i have just about finished my GWSD so here are a few photos of the 1680, DRSD and GWSD taken today now i have a new camera after the last one failed under water. Now i am not greedy and it would be wrong to keep all 3 of these and after all the help i have had from the forum with parts and advice (non of the gifted parts have been used on the Dwellers except a vintage pearl from UBI, I hope you dont mind mate but the lumi one is more usefull for me and work) i want to give a little back so i will be auctioning one of the sea dwellers, hence the poll above, so which ever is the most popular to sell in about 2 weeks time then i will put it up for auction with 25% of what it brings to RWG. My personal preference will be to sell the DRSD but i want to make my costs back and a bit for the forum so i will sell the one you want. All 3 are older MBW/MBK POLEX case sets and have rolex gen crowns and tubes, Clark crystals,39 dome on the DRSD and a 19 dome on the GW gen springbars, modded crown guards, 93150 bracelets drilled for gen bars with hollow midlinks, new ETA 2846 slow beat non hacking movements, Super luminover lume (done by me, not ziggy standard but i am happy with it)Color light yellowing on the DR and white on the GW Silver date wheel on the Great white with flat 3 and open 6 and 9s white date wheel on the DRSD with open 6 and 9 new gaskets and water resistance tested I would say that all look a bit vintage and have signs of wear but these are supposed to be 35-40 years old and they were not new when i got the parts Now some photos GWSD (just waiting for a base gasket and a bracelet) 1680 (this is not going any where) DRSD (still have to fit the gen crown and tube to this) Now the pussy shots If it comes to an auction which would you have your sights on?

mjmj Posted May 22, 2010 Report Share Posted May 22, 2010 GWSD looks great. The date wheel has worked a treat. Its looks very gen to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted May 22, 2010 Report Share Posted May 22, 2010 They are all potential 'keepers' but the least believable (just from a rarity perspective) would be the DRSD. See my "Superdome...." post. I am faced with a similar dillema on my project bench. I am going 'White' for now, since I think I can build a more believable franken with the parts I have. That said...I would still probably throw my hat in the ring for the auction- whichever one you decide to sell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cats Posted May 23, 2010 Report Share Posted May 23, 2010 Great Trio Andy. Can't wait to see them alive at the 3rd GTG in Brussels. I'll bring my duo , and maybe the Transformer if BK get's it here in time. Carpe Diem Cats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted May 23, 2010 Report Share Posted May 23, 2010 They all look great I would sell the DRSD. No matter what you do the DRSD's always look fake. No one has ever gotten the red right and that is the first thing Rolex cognoscenti look for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member X Posted May 23, 2010 Report Share Posted May 23, 2010 I'm inclined to agree with the above - you'd have to be good to carry off a DRSD in the real world! lol It's still a great watch but if you're looking for one to be a keeper, I'd keep the other Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flex Posted May 30, 2010 Report Share Posted May 30, 2010 DRSD would be the one to sell.. I have never seen a rep dial that looks 100% accurate (albeit early NDT trding one looks quite good). thanks, Flex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UT Horn Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 Andy, I voted for the DRSD just because you want to sell it. They all look fantastic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephane Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 They look splendid Andy. But I agree: DrSd isn't really the one to keep. Personaly I kept my GW and put all my efforts in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 Great trio indeed! You've done some great work to these, Andy! Difficult choice to make regarding which to part ways with... I guess if I had to choose, the DRSD would get my vote... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted June 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 It may be both yet UBI as i have to raise some cash for a brand new harley crank, cam, front belt drive pully and some clutch plates and a full gasket set, looking at nearly 2k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UT Horn Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 Andy, What's the latest on this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted June 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 Well i am going to compare them with the others at the GTG and then put one up next week, that way some one else will have seen the watch and be able to attest to its condition ect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted June 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 Well it is going to be the double red up for auction so get over there and start bidding! Link to Auction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
