508-Fanatic Posted July 23, 2019 Report Share Posted July 23, 2019 Hello All, I recently purchased a stunning 1665 DRSD from one of our esteemed members. A grail type watch, lots of genuine parts including movement... I am looking to take this watch one step further. Currently, it has a non-working replicated HEV. I have purchased the genuine (in the bubble) Rolex parts for this. I am also going to add a period-correct crazy$ insert when I find the right one. Outside of that, I think the watch is otherwise pretty perfect. I'm surprised at how simple the HEV is (rod/pin, gasket, tension plate) and consequently I'd like someone that has done it before, and can ensure that we aren't just putting a hole in the side of the case for water to enter. Is anyone up to the task of the case drilling for the HEV? I would prefer someone that has done it before, and has pictures of their work. @rolojack might this be you? Thank you all!

508-Fanatic Posted July 26, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2019 Hey thanks man - greatly appreciate it. I did read many of those, all very good - but some rather old threads. Would you happen to know of anyone willing to take on the work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanuq Posted July 26, 2019 Report Share Posted July 26, 2019 JMB was mentioned in a couple of those threads and he's still here. He's a gentlemen among scholars and does fantastic work. Remember the smooth bezel Milgauss someone just did? I think he did that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
