alligoat Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 Good looking watch! I did the same combo w/o the relume (which is certainly nice!) and an aftermarket G&S 462-67A T-39 crystal. My dome sits a tad higher and my DW on 9 is fairly well centered. Here's a very dirty quick pic The DW's are the issue here, but tonite, scrolling thru, mine seems fairly well centered. Guess I need to quit drinking wine and eat dinner! In the past, I've noticed the 20's are a tad left in the window. Still, I love my beater- passed the WR test. What did you do to install the crystal? I tore up the nylon gasket and jmb built me a excellent crystal retaining ring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dieselpower Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 Your simple sea dweller is simply gorgeous. Enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TswissT Posted December 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 Yup... That non centered DW is definitely an issue. Your 9 looks better than mine, and you are dead right about the 20's. I believe the crystal was installed by The Zigmeister. I got it from another member here who had all the work done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alligoat Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 It's a good looking watch, and I love the lume on it! I think the best thing about a good rep is nice lume. Sure it may not be correct, but it's great to look at at night! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolfire Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 Friggin sweet! Wear her in great health... That reminds me, I need to get started on my 1665 project too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 I would have opted for non-glowing paint instead of lume to maintain its gen appearance, but, otherwise, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 Looks good, the Dial really makes this one special! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prsist Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 Looks good, the Dial really makes this one special! That is one snappy 1665, I just bought a couple crowns for my project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 That loom looks good. I like the 3D look of the raised markers. My DRSD is lumed by The Zigmeister also and it looks awesome. Doesnt glow as bright as yours though. Mine is faint kinda like how old tritium might look if it still had some juice left. I almost want to send him my gen 1680 Tritium dial for some vintage puffy loom also... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kurtz Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 I would have opted for non-glowing paint instead of lume to maintain its gen appearance, but, otherwise, Yeah that glow bit to much, but great build and very handsome watch!

TswissT Posted December 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 Oh guys... Don't get me wrong... This baby does NOT glow like in the pics... I had it under direct sunlight for a while...turned off the light and let the shutter go for approx 30 seconds... Believe me... The lume is perfect on this bad boy. The Zigmeister did an amazing job. I just thought the pic looked cool. This was the brightest I have ever seen this lume, and it surely didnt last long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panerai153 Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 Beautiful watch. I have to say ziggy has re-lumed several watches for me with his vintage lume, and it is absolutely the best there is. his lume jobs either with some "Glow" added, or "non-glow" are indestinguishable from genuine. He's the best! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
