EMM Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 I've got an SSD that has been converted over time to a really nice matte-dial Triple 6 (16660). There are a few inherent flaws there. Some of which are fixable (wrong bracelet) and some of which are not (LEC on crystal). One flaw is the "modern" font DW. The 16660 had the transitional DW with the open "9" and "6" and the serifs, but with the round "3"s. Any idea where I could find an overlay pr replacement DW? It's an ETA 2836 motor, I believe.

alligoat Posted June 4, 2011 Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 Good looking watch, nice dial, lugholes, pearl. Old MBWs have the perfect DW for you- the one that came on the 1680s and 1665s. The trick is finding one. Cubic-works also used to sell the open 6&9 DW but that's been 4-5 years ago. You do still see them on the cheap chinese reps, maybe you could swipe one off a $25 rep If it's any consolation, if Rolex were to service a 16660 and rerplace the DW, it would be with one like your current DW. They'd also install a crystal w/ the LEC. They did that on my 16800 from '83. I was able to find an old DW, but I left the crystal. On a gen crystal, you only see the LEC under perfect conditions- I saw mine one day in the sunlight at the right angle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
