JEKS Posted July 8, 2011 Report Posted July 8, 2011 And here we have her, my new DRSD 1665 from PBDad. I must say, PB is a pleasure to deal with and a fine craftsman. The watch started as Puretime's DRSD clone with #4 dial. Relumed to vintage Distressed case and bracelet Added Clark T39 dome Added Gen 702 crown Added Clark tube Insert aged to look vintage Sealed Regulated I am very happy with this!!! The wrapping makes me feel like a kid at Christmas. The filler is a nice touch as well. The first two shots show the plastic protector film on the crystal. And, here we have it in all it's glory. Note the polished lug pin ends. I sure do love the look of the rivet bracelet. Too bad they feel like tinny crap. I bought a good one from Yuki , very close to the gen from what I've read, but it still feels insubstantial. I'd recommend considering the weight of a bracelet before you jump at one. C'est la Vie, I bought it for the looks, not the feel. A bit of enamel remains in the engravings after years of use, welding underwater in the North Sea... Gen 702 crown and Clark tropic to replace the stock items A bit of wear and fade since this is, of course, a tool watch
blix Posted July 8, 2011 Report Posted July 8, 2011 Not a bad present indeed. pbdads packaging is something special, in a positive manner.
praetor Posted July 9, 2011 Report Posted July 9, 2011 nice, I just got my case set from puretime and am modifying it myself too... btw just so you know, that's a 703 vintage crown.
