I Need Help with Vintage MBW DRSD

Recommended Posts

Although I've been collecting for a while I have no clue when it comes to vintage MBW rollies...

I recently picked up this piece...it came in parts and I had my watch guy put it all together...

-supposedly gen tropic crystal

-gen crown/aftermarket tube

What does it need? Does it even look good? I need some expert eyes...

I agree with TMG, on two out of three at least.

Better pearl- maybe the $10 one from Ofrei might work in the MBW insert

Trim the Cg's slightly

Evening up the color between the hands and markers- a little variation isn't that big a deal in my mind.

All in all, it's a good looking watch- just wear it and age it!

It needs a fliplock bracelet. And I *reeeeeeeeeally* need that folded/riveted bracelet for my 6536!

Here's the folded oyster (no rivets) that came with a 1665. Note the fliplock... it should have no "grooves" in it.
