Martyd3 Posted September 12, 2008 Report Posted September 12, 2008 My MBW 1665 on the operating table
alligoat Posted September 12, 2008 Report Posted September 12, 2008 Dang Marty, you better go to lining up the drill bit a little better before you go to drilling!
Martyd3 Posted September 12, 2008 Author Report Posted September 12, 2008 Dang Marty, you better go to lining up the drill bit a little better before you go to drilling! Geez ... the holes have already been drilled!
bertieng Posted September 12, 2008 Report Posted September 12, 2008 I won't have the guts to do this. It takes lots of precision measurement to make the proper line up. Once falsely drilled and the case is done. Better toleave it to the experts to handle this delicate job.
alligoat Posted September 12, 2008 Report Posted September 12, 2008 Geez ... the holes have already been drilled! I was just trying to give you a little flack! Actually, looks good and with a little polishing you'll be there. I wonder who's made more 1665's, Rolex or MBW?
Martyd3 Posted September 14, 2008 Author Report Posted September 14, 2008 Almost finished ... still need to age the case back and lume the dial + add Tudor hands. Work done so far. Gen crown and tube Shaped CG's Slightly rounded case edges/buffed case Drilled case for gen spring bars Added Clark T39 w/ crystal gasket Aged insert, added acrylic pearl (have gen insert) Added gen 93150 w/ 580 ends (still looking for 585's)
