Prsist Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 I've read the rep one isnt up to snuff. What should I look for in an aftermarket date wheel for a 1665? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 The datewheel on the PT vintage models is the best one i have ever seen from a replica watch. Its just the dial that needs help. The datewindow is way too small. You need to either file out the datewindow or swap in a better dial. dizz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwhitesox Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 You can get the slow beat movement with the datewheel as a separate part from Angus and just grab an MBW dial from Narika....Good to go. Heres my one that The Zigmeister relumed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

highoeyazmuhudee Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 the problem with the PT is the dial. date window is too small, and the markers are just wrong and glossy. compare with my spare MBK 1665 dial, when i used to like the 1665, now the watch is in parts all over the place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heres my one that The Zigmeister relumed. Very cool. Thats a good idea. Thia would be a nice combination: MBW case and bezel Gen crown and tube Clarks t-39 superdome Putetime movement and datehweel MBW dial MBW bracelet Puretime bezel insert and pearl Thats what Im going to do next time. Or one step cheaper would be to but the complete PT watch and swap out the dial for an MBW or Yuki. Dizz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
