Zackb911 Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 I'd really love to convert my 1665 DRSD to a GWSD. I've been trolling the for sale section and posted a wanted listing but no luck as of yet. Does anyone know of a dealer who sells just the dial? Or perhaps an equivalent dial which would line up and mount correctly? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 Not that you want to go that direction, but I have a "Single" Red SD dial from MBW. This is the "ingod44" Rail dial from eBay the WHITE -not- Patina: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 That dial looks pretty nice! Prices are good also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an MBW GW dial and hands that came off of a build I am putting together currently that I would be willing to part with. I'll PM you pics.

Zackb911 Posted December 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 Thanks guys! I also have my DRSD dial for sale when the swap is done. @FlyingWedge- Please send them when you can along with a price @Ronin- That's the look I'm going for, albeit a bit more age to mine. Yours is a beaut! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zackb911 Posted December 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2010 Still on the hunt for a GWSD dial guys, any help is appreciated! @Ronin- Where did you get the service crystal? -Zack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highoeyazmuhudee Posted December 24, 2010 Report Share Posted December 24, 2010 the ingod dial is very nice rail dial, MBK is good also (not rail). cheaper too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted December 24, 2010 Report Share Posted December 24, 2010 Just saw your Crystal question. I got lucky on eBay with the Gen, still in the bubble, service crystal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
www_watch Posted December 24, 2010 Report Share Posted December 24, 2010 the ingod dial is very nice rail dial, MBK is good also (not rail). cheaper too. I'd prefer the rail dial every day of the year. Just ordered one for my "neverending project".... *LOL* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zackb911 Posted December 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 Unfortunately ingod doesn't seem to have those GWSD dials at that price. As an aside does the Ingod dial have good lume? So far: I've picked up a Gen 703 crown ($32) ordered a crown tube and spring bars from Yuki ($15) Clark Tudor hands from eBay ($14) Clark Tropic 39 (Rolex Service Crystal Profile $27) Have a replacement ETA movement from a more than generous member. (Free) and she's currently enroute to JMB to have the lugs drilled and hopefully the crystal installed. *I've yet to order but plan on getting a lume pearl from Ofrei as well ($20) So the GWSD dial is the last thing missing well and possibly a better datewheel overlay. Down the road I'd love to buy or piece together a Gen bracelet as funds become available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 Unfortunately ingod doesn't seem to have those GWSD dials at that price. As an aside does the Ingod dial have good lume? Bummer. As for Lume, no, it simulates dead tritium, which would be correct. In my build, going for the service look, I have what would be the equivalent of 'original dial' but with Lumi hands and insert. Not uncommon for serviced Gens. So when I come in from outside the hands and pearl glow nice and bright. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the "ingod44" Rail dial from eBay the WHITE -not- Patina: I've never seen a " T SWISS T <25" before on a dial and I was just going to make fun of it until I did one last check.... And heres one on www.doubleredseadweller.com I guess you learn something every day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zackb911 Posted January 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 Bump- Still looking guys... InGod44 doesn't have anymore for sale. Right now I'm thinking Cannibalize a PT 1665 unless one of you can help me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usmctowgnr Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 I messaged ingod about a week ago about it and he said he had them, I assume you are talking about the Rail Dial! He said 153 shipped, I can reply and say I will take it if you want to see if it is still available! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
