klocklind1 Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 Is anyone here know if the genuine 1665 dial fits in a old school MBW case? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

denimhead Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 Yes, It fits into the MBW case, as does a Gen 1570 with slight mods to the case. DH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klocklind1 Posted December 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 OK thanks for that:) But how will the date be centered/aligned if You have an eta movement in it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danielv2000 Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 i personally would not cut the feet off the dial... Worth investing in a 1570 and call it a day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denimhead Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 OK thanks for that:) But how will the date be centered/aligned if You have an eta movement in it? Personally I'd just buy the ingod44 Rail 1665 dial. Best value for money after market dial out there. Unless your in the company of a Vintage Rolex expert who's really going to know, And if you had it nicely re-lumed then it would be an even harder call DH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionsandtigers Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 dont cut the feet off a gen dial. horrific. save for the 1570 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klocklind1 Posted December 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 Thanks all for the advices:) I just got my genuine brand new genuine 585 endlinks in the post And I have a brand new genuine clasp ( 93160 Z-series !) on a 93150 MBW bracelet and it sure looks nicer now:) So now I need to mod my MBW 1665 even more:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionsandtigers Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 should do the hev mod on the case as well. biggest flaw in the mbw 1665, dead giveaway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klocklind1 Posted December 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 OK but will the Watch be 100% waterproof with the He mod? It is 100% safe now:) And I have no genuine 1665 dial "only" a VERY nice relumed MBW dial lumed by The Zigmeister and could not be happier:) And the new endlinks is miles ahead of the 580 cartel ones:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionsandtigers Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 never done it, but I know there are a few members who have done it sucessfully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 As long as it is installed correctly, the valve is waterproof. Search out my threads detailing the Hev construction for details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klocklind1 Posted December 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 As long as it is installed correctly, the valve is waterproof. Search out my threads detailing the Hev construction for details. Thanks freddy! But Is it not very difficult to drill a hole EXACTLY in the middle fake He valve as it is a Little rounded on the MBW case? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanuq Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 This is why God made center punches. Tap a little dent right in the middle and start drilling there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samsoule Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 Hey Guys, i am a terrific superfranken project for my 1665 drsd. My case is an oldschool MBW and i found a Nice 1570 caliber to put inside. Do you think it will be ok for my watchsmith ? Because a famous rolex modder told me that the 1570 is very hard to pût inside a MBW case (but he did not precise if it was the same with old school MBW case... As for the dial, which is for you the most accurate 1665 DRSD dial on the market (Ndtrading ? Phong ? Yukiwatch ? Minh ? Other ?) Thanks for your help.
