For all i know, mbw uses same case for dubbel red seadweller, singel red seadweller and 1665 great white!!! They use to be same cases, correct me if im wrong.

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.

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.. :good:

@tutima: Thanks for sharing the recipe! :)
