omgiv Posted July 11, 2010 Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 Hi Guys, I just thought that it was time to post some progress pictures. So far, it has mostly been collecting parts for my 1665 project. This is the list of parts I have thus far: Gen 1570 movement (just serviced by me and keeping great time) Gen tube Gen lumi insert Gen lumi hands Gen lumi dial Gen 585 end links Gen T39 crystal The only things that I need are a crown, case, and bracelet. I have a few questions about which case out of the NDT or JAW you would choose. The price of the NDT is better but I don't know about accuracy. I also don't know if either case will require any modifications. Any opinions? There is a small marl on the dial near the triangle at 12 and I was hoping to spray some matter varnish to mask it. Does anyone know what particular brand I should use. I remember seeing it before but can't find it. Thanks for looking and any recommendations or comments are welcome.

omgiv Posted July 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 I haven't heard about the quality yet, but he doesn't have one for the 1665 that I am aware of. Thanks!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robaer Posted July 11, 2010 Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 Did anyone comment on the case that DW has? case I just wondered it is cheap! Any info on that case would be great right now. Who is the seller? Has anyone used his cases before? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flex Posted July 11, 2010 Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 @omgiv, Nice stuff you have there! Regarding matter varnish, I have always used Tamilya and have great success. @gplracer, 1655 and 5513 are the DW cases I have tried (ended up getting a refund). The one that is shown on the Ebay is for 1680. I am not too sure about his 1680, perhaps other may have tried it and advise their comments here?

gplracer Posted July 11, 2010 Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 Sorry to hear that Flex. I was hopeful the 1680 case would be a possibility. Sorry Omgiv wrong case. I had some mental fatigue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
