grifter Posted January 11, 2014 Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 A couple of years ago I built a 16660 using jackjo's ssd as the base and it was my favorite. LINK Then I had some sort of major malfunction and sold it. Please don't ask me why... Some time passed and I just couldn't get over the loss. I sent an email to the person who bought it off the person I sold it to. To my surprise he agreed to sell her back to me! I was so happy. I ordered a new BpSD after reading so many good things about it with plans to swap the case set if it were indeed that good. The main thing I liked was the crystal, which has no lec. I also ordered TC's 93160A to replace the (from what I'd been reading) poor Bp bracelet. Then I decided to go NOS vintage look. This decision came from the purchase of a NOS 16660 insert. The gen insert I had was pretty beat up, cracked pearl and all. At the time I loved this look. But as I age so do my taste buds and my taste in watches. I loved the new insert I picked up. The tritium pearl was a warm patina yet it had never been mounted and was sitting in its packaging begging to be installed. I actually didn't mind that it cost more than the BpSD! The triple 6 arrived and shortly after the BpSD came too. I immediately saw that the Bp case set was superior so I sent both watches over to my main man Pbdad. Today it came back and I am one happy mofackle. Enjoy the few quick iphone pics. outside today is cloudy with a chance of 666.. indoors Specs: BpSD case set TC 93160A bracelet Natalie's Passion (NDT) 16660 matte dial Gen insert Gen crown/tube Pbdad's work: Drill lug holes Re-lume dial/hands (done during the first build) Install insert (Said it snapped right in without shaving) Install tube 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkeypunch Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 I've been leery to drill on a case without lugholes. Seems it could go wrong quickly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
