tmg Posted October 7, 2008 Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 Tues- A temporary transition for the dial and movement... One hell of a temporary watch Ubi! Me likey!!! Today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeJay Posted October 7, 2008 Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 Heh heh... Thanks, TJ! You're very welcome PVD PAM with a brown strap is one of my favorite combos. Sadly, I felt it never really coordinated with my wardrobe properly so I seldom wear that combo, although I do like how it looks I've found a suitable movement donor to fix up my 004 (previously mis-identified as a 111g ) which will also lead to a custom Radiomir project (when funds are available, of course ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dluddy Posted October 7, 2008 Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 Heh heh... Thanks, TJ! Here is a near mint 9411 dial that I picked up earlier this year along with the dial that currently resides in my completed snowflake It's an all original LePrelet in time capsule like condition. be sure to let me know if that ever needs a new home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted October 7, 2008 Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 I agree; the snowflake appeals to me a little more as it's so completely different than the typical Rolex Sub. The hands and markers are quite unique! Unfortunately, gen parts don't come cheap From time to time these things do surface on the Bay. There's a dial and hands set on now (380070501264); the combo has seen some better days however. As for fitting these parts into a 1665- The dial diameter is a bit too small, unfortunately. The rehaut opening on the case is too large, and hence the dial simply falls through to the crystal. However... You can use an MBW 1680 case. That's what I used for mine...

TeeJay Posted October 7, 2008 Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 TJ- Glad to hear your 004 will be on the mend! And with a project Radiomir to go as a result. Very nice! I'm going to order a 'PVD Radiomir Blackseal, with the second sweep', and put the stripped movement in the 004. I've got a base Radiomir on order (a 210? ) and the movement, dial and hands will be going whole into the PVD case, and then fitted on a 26/26 black leather Andy strap (by way of Tourby) and fitted with a 26mm PVD buckle. Would such a watch even have a PAM code, or would it be totally custom? Looking sharp, bro Can't decide! Can't decide! Fantastic collection I've been trying to source the GMT Radiomir for ages, where did you track one down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeeJay Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 I'm off to Spain for a week tomorrow, and this will be my holiday beater I've already adjusted the GMT hand to -1, so when I get off the plane tomorrow, and roll the main hands forwards an hour, the GMT hand will be telling the time in the UK I've also got my 104 on SS if we go anywhere nice for a meal, and my 113 on the Ferrari strap incase I'm feeling 'smart casual' one evening Which, thanks to SSSurfer, now has a black hand Thanks again, amigo, it's made such a difference to the watch, it's much appreciated I'll try and get some decent wrist shots while I'm away, but I'm not promising anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
