Nanuq Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 The 1665 just might be THE perfect watch. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck P Posted May 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 Thanks guys. Build specs on this one: PT mid case and DRSD caseback. Softened edges and reworked CG's. I think the crown may be gen 703 but not entirely sure. I mixed my stock of crowns and had trouble telling gen from good aftermarket. Cartel bezel assembly and insert (would love to replace this at some point. It is fully functional as is but I don't like the dull teeth. I think a better bezel would make a huge difference. Aftermarket t-39 slightly shaved on bottom edge side to allow retaining ring to fit. Snug fit though and should be water resistant. Eta 2846 movt Yuki dial for Rolex movt with feet removed. Yuki hour and minute hand. Rep second hand (Yuki second hand is not good in shape) PT bracelet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted May 22, 2014 Report Share Posted May 22, 2014 I happen to like those specs, mainly because I have a similar watch and think it's a fine rep. PT SD w/ the 2846-2, MBW dial, JMB retention ring, gen crown and tube, GS-T-39 crystal. I did keep the rest of the PT bezel assembly- I'm happy with it. Watch is WR, a great beater for around $400- my kind of rep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck P Posted May 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2014 I really like yours alligoat. In hindsight I wish I had kept a PT bezel and had JMB make a retaining ring for it...it had a better profile and teeth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boxsash Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 I know I'm a bit late to this thread but just to clarify a pt case will take a gen size dial? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
