I have a 1665 MBW that has a 1570 movement installed and a whole lot of gent parts. I contacted Jewelry and watch about a white 1665 dial he sent some picture of the dial supposedly to be a singer base dial. I am not sure if he sent a picture of a gen to fool me.

here is the picture

Thanks

The text is pretty crisp. Aftermarket = Yes. What are they asking? $150 tops. IMHO.

If you decide to bail on it let me know. I am still looking for a DRSD or something similar to what you posted.

Rolex001 is right. It is the first Double Red dial on which the lettering of the first two lines tended to fade to pink (production error). They are worth major bucks. On this dial they didn't even bother paininting it pink. The 6 and 9 markers are a bit long anyway.

Overall the dial looks good... much better than the standard MBW...

This is a copy off a Mark I DRSD dial where J&W probably forgot to paint the writing red, or at least pink (most of them faded) - just don't buy it, it's not exactly a good dial.

A GWSD dial will never have Submariner 2000 written on the dial.

Good points, all. I am wearing the red version today (old picture)

I did not even noticed that before. about the red writing been white. he is asking 365.00 i think is too much for a dial that is not even right. Maybe The Zigmeister can change the color of the letters. but then i will a need case back and a super dome.

figures.

Thanks

Too much $$$. Run away.... :-)

Good catch on the Submariner 2000 should be red.
