Wow DW, that dial is just perfect. And really white as well.

But you have to get a tropic #39 original superdome to show off all of it's beauty properly.

Here is an example of some borrowed pictures.





I think Steve Muholland3 has some.
And please, don't get me wrong. Your watch is absolutely wicked the way it is.

Thanks, I kinda like it. I like the superdome but some have told me they fail in pressure testing a high percent of the time. If I was going to try and make it EXACTLY vintage then I would put the 9315 band back on with a superdome. This is good though. I like yours and it looks awsome too, but I'm not to sure about the Nato.

Hell, while your at it, you might as well pick up a faded fat font bezel for it too.


Sorry mine is not for sale. Hell I don't even own a 1665 yet, but when I do find a great white look out.

By the way. RUSA NY did a fantastic job.

Just like it came from the dealers showcase.

I plan on keeping it. But if someone offered me a crazy amount, and I mean crazy then I might consider selling.

OK, I'll offer you 2000.00 USD for it. Is that crazy enough? Have we a deal?

Let me know ASAP before I change my mind................

That picture where its "glowing red" came out awsome. I had these pictures done at one of those studios that you take your kids and they stick a stuffed animal in their hands. They said that they had never done anything but people before. I have a bunch of pictures on a CD from them but I only bought so many that I have the copy rights to. I can always go back and buy more if I want.

I am very interested in that myself. I don't know where you could get a watch like this anywhere. I have looked online and most of the ones I find are either in poor condition or fakes. I just don't know. I took the watch over to a jewelery store that is close to the photography studio while I was waiting on the photos to download and be printed. They thought it was new. When I told them that it was a 72' they were amazed. They didn't know what a Double Red was.

A very nice double red recently sold for 23k on VRF (no b/p and with 2 engravings ). One offered for 28k did not sell (no b/p).

I bet that she got to hear the whole story eh?

But seriously man. I am proud of your watch, for you, happy about the outcome, and as envious as anyone here. It's been a lot of fun busting your chops and you've been a great sport about it.

Now, lets see if they send that bracelet back....
