Seeing Double

How the hell could I miss this thread back then!

That is of course a very beautifull watch Freddy.

And thanks for all the nice photos and explanations.

The 1665, toghether with the 1680, is trully my favourite.

A coincidence is that I am in the process to rebuild my great white with Tribal currently.

@Dizzy: good luck...you'll soon discover what "extra cash means"

I know what you mean. I often wonder what I have missed out on because I did not login on a particular day.

p.s. I just posted a preview of my latest project that might interest you.

Splendid Rollie !!!

I love the 1570

how much a project like this one cost at the end... And the time ?

Wear it well

If I remember correctly, the original MBW 1665 was $450. The 1575 was around $1,000+/-. The dial + reluming was about $500. Assorted other gen parts (xtal, crown/tube, bezel/insert, etc) another grand or so. So the watch cost around $3k to build.

Wow, if this was originally an MBW case, you have perfectly captured the look and shape of an old, well loved pair of SD crown guards. Just perfect. Wow!

Here's mine.
