mech500 Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 Hello, I am thinking of pulling the trigger on an ingod chocolate 1665 dial. I've not seen anyone use this dial on a rep build before and wanted peoples options prior to making a purchase. The equivalent ingod GW rail dial seems to be far more popular on the rep forums but it is currently out of stock. Here's the chocolate dial in question: Has anyone bought this dial? It looks good to me but I really ain't an expert in fake vintage patina and was hoping the more learned here would share their opinions as to whether it's worth buying?....does it look good? This is the (MBW) dial I am looking to replace: Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whoopy12 Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 Hey Mech, It just depends on the flaws you're able to accept. This goes for any dial really I believe Ingod modeled that after a MK 4 GW dial. See links below for more info. The m in "610m" is bothering me personally http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=118ixy0&s=5#.VM1QalZH1SU http://quicklook.watchprosite.com/show-forumpost/fi-647/pi-/ti-867698/t-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmg_3 Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 That M is ugly.. Here are the choices i would recommend in order. 1) gen dial 2-3k 2) service dial $1400ish 3) whoopy dial.. I believe he might have a eta and gen plate models in m2ms 4 yuki dial. (I have a used white lume with one missing feet if you want to PM .. Cheap cheap!)

mech500 Posted January 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 That's for the reach out guys. Personally, the m doesn't bother me. I prefer the dial to "look" gen but unfortunately I have no real life experience on what a real 1665 chocolate dial should look like. My stock factory MBW dial is ok, only the hour plots bother me. They are too shiny and should be more raised (3d effect). Only reason I am considering the ingod dial is that it costs less than what the established forum modders charge for 'reluming' my MBW dial. What's people's opinion on the ingod hour plots? Does the fake patina look acceptable? Or am I better spending the money on getting my existing MBW dial re-lumed?

Nanuq Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 The chocolate dials are MkIIs with a very specific coronet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whoopy12 Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 Nanuq also brings up another good point to consider: The only tropical 1665 dial was the red 1665 DRSD MK2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mech500 Posted February 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 Ahh yes, guess I'll have to stick with the MBW dial and get the hour plots repainted. Thanks all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

droptopman Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 Same here, email every month or so over the last 6 months. No response. Sent from my droptop using telepathy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mech500 Posted February 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 Anyone heard from ND trading lately? They seem to have (practically) the same looking dials as ingod but priced higher. I haven't had a response back from them either? It's a shame really since both NDT and ingod have some good stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
