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.

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...

A bit of wear and fade since this is, of course, a tool watch
