prdubis Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 Cases are similar, casebacks are different... --- I am here: http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=43.601390,1.447991 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highoeyazmuhudee Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 Sooooooooo, what am i missing? All i see us tut's OLD mbw case back, from what year is yours higho? same year..nothing special... just gotta ask for the right parts, you think dealers really have a clue what theyre doing, dont even get me started on their lack of QC, which involves placing an order and picking it up a week later, as long as it says "rolex" on the dial it passes.

modelizer Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 I have an old 1665 GW from the MBW time period with this setup, so I was under the impression that the old school MBK GW's all had the "incorrect" DRSD case back (early posts like By-Thor's classic review of this beauty indicates this). However, I would not worry too much.. According to doubleredseadweller.com early "transitional" examples of the GWSD with DRSD case backs do exist.. @tutima: Thanks for sharing the recipe!
