HauteHippie Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 Here's a TW Best Classic 16610 I just acquired. This is the TW Best that was sold about 2 years ago and has long since been discontinued. I bought it used, and there are a few nicks and dings that add character. It will undergo the usual mods (dial and date wheel swap, gen insert, gen crown and tube, spring bars, etc) and then will be quite a watch - perhaps my most prized rep thus far. Here are a couple quick and dirty (pardon finger prints) pics : Take a look at the rehaut, folks. Deeeeep, and *YES* this is 1:1 with the gen (in a side by side comparison). Once you've seen it, you never forget it: Centered undrilled lugholes (no rebiasing to worry about), and nice thick crystal reveal that will mate nicely with the gen insert: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the least I can do for a guy who provides endless quantities of eye candy for the forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
