stilty Posted September 6, 2010 Report Share Posted September 6, 2010 Here is something new I picked up a few days ago from my watchmaker. fully serviced and regulated. Service dial and handset, so she glows like a torch. Happy Monday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redwatch Posted September 6, 2010 Report Share Posted September 6, 2010 Looks great Stilty! I remember you showing us that display back a while ago when you were working on this one. One question though - are those the correct endlinks? They look a little off to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freddy333 Posted September 7, 2010 Report Share Posted September 7, 2010 Not a fan of the aftermarket casebacks, but, otherwise, well done, my friend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted September 7, 2010 Report Share Posted September 7, 2010 I saw on TV that all replica ROlex have see through case backs... So this MUST be a fake? lol Awesome watch. I guess if i had that awesome 1655 i would want to see that movement beating in there also! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RYM Posted September 7, 2010 Report Share Posted September 7, 2010 Cal 1570 GMT ? How ? Is the same of datejust Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stilty Posted September 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2010 Thanks guys! Well, the see through caseback is a novelty, but the novelty is wearing off. But I must say that I enjoy seeing that blue spring beat away. @Chi, yes a Rolex service dial and handset. @Red, yes the 580s are correct for this watch, but they are a bit flat and do not fit very well. The bracelet is also period correct for the 521XXX serial. VC is '77. and @ LH... I've got a decent trio or explorers! If I can ever get the 14270 off my wife's wrist, I'd take a pic.

btocamelo Posted September 29, 2010 Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 Is this a Phong case set? Also...how much does a service dial & hands cost?...assuming one could get a hold of a set? I know Rolex is redoing vintages and replacing all the old tritium dials with these new luminova service dials that only say "Swiss" on the bottom.....I'm kinda torn for my project whether to keep the vintage dial look......or......try and source a new service dial/hands...I do like a well lit dial!
