grifter Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 Hey guys, I need your advice on these dials. Please tell me the good and the bad about them. Please chime in vintage rollie experts! First up 1680 meters first. Second up is a 1680 feet first. Third up is a 1665 rail. Many thanks to any responses. I sincerely appreciate the help!

grifter Posted March 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 Can anyone help? Tell me the good and bad.. I am leaning against the 1665 but still am on the fence for the 1680 dials. Help a noobie out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grifter Posted March 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 BTW, these are images from Ingod44. I asked him if he had any 1665 & 1680 dials because I liked his 1655 dial so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiesn089 Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 I don't know anything about the others, but here's an interesting article about the three different meters first submariner dial versions. I am also considering a 1680 MF beater project and for me personally the best aftermarket MF 1680 dial is PT's 1680. By far. MQ, NDT and Ingod44 are all severly flawed. If you have a look at the crown logo, fonts used or even the distance between some letters (see "E" of the Oyster Perpetual DatE) these are all very inaccurate. For me PT's version seems to be the most accurate version (at least at mimicking the printing), the others just don't justify the asking price. My plan was to get a MF PT 1680 and have the dial relumed and slightly aged. In my opinion this would be both the most cost-effective and also most accurate version right now.
