Project 1665

[ubiquitous]

Picked up this nice genuine 1665 dial; this was one of those deals where I wasn't planning on building one of these, but the price was way too good to let it pass!

Do I hold on to it? Build it? Pass it on to a friend that is building a 1665 as well?

Part of me thinks I should build!

[redwatch]

Even if you don't end up keeping it Ubi, it will make for a fun project It's a stunning dial, that's for sure!!

Here's the solution to your quandary: I send you the 1665 with the pooched movement, and you see how deep the rabbit hole goes.

What a silly question. You locate a 1575 & build.

What a silly question. You locate a 1575 & build.

I seem to remember a post a while back that had some really stunning pics of a 1570/1575 movement

Odd coincidence that I have a line on everything needed to build?

Still kinda on the fence though...

[dbutlerman]

Do it, Do it... ...or...send it to me

[Stephane]

Do it Ubi!

I just bought one for my 1665 GreatWhite too.

So, you see how long it took me to find one

Please build a great white yourself now that you have the best piece to start with !

[ubiquitous]

Hmmmm... Seems to me that I may be compelled to build!

[Nanuq]

He shoots... HE SCORES!

[jmb]

If you don't build it you will likely regret it second-guess yourself forever...

You know you want to build it...

[specialvat]

Build it and he will come

[omgiv]

You have to build it!!!! Being able to get everything you need seals the deal

[Nanuq]

Okay Sparky, let me sweeten the pot for you. How about if I donate my vintage MBW case with pooched movement, gen crown with CWP tube, and gen superdome 39?

Build that sucker!

that window beveling is just awesome!

[Tribal]

What a nice dial. Build a nice SD my friend!!!!

[Eton]

The power of Christ compels you! Haha, jokes aside...do what feels right Ubi, no pressure here...but that's one stunning dial!

[P4GTR]

Looks like you now have dial, case, crystal, crown.. Whats the problem? Do it, do it, do it!

[theblueprince]

Guess you'll have to build it then, the RWGer's have spoken

[Nanuq]

All together now!

Do it!! Do it!! Do it!! Do it!! Do it!! Do it!! Do it!! Do it!! Do it!! Do it!! Do it!! Do it!!

I was once in Barcelona and had visited the Gaudi Cathederal (still to be completed) and I discussed the pros and cons of the then debate raging in the city as to weather they should fund the building of the huge central tower.

The following night I got horrendously drunk with a friend and the alcohol made me see with total clarity that the tower should be built. I was walking along Las Ramblas shouting "build the tower" at the top of my drunken voice!

Now, I am at home, completely sober and yet I have that same unmistakable feeling building within me, the decision is clear and needs shouting from the rooftops "Build the watch! Build the watch!"

Come on Ubi - you know it makes sense
