SD 1665 with Service Parts?

[Brisman]

Hi Guys,

Just looking for thoughts and comments on buying a 1665 with service parts.

Service dial, hands, crystal, bezel and insert.

Original case, case back, movement.

Obviously a lot less than an all original, I was thinking it would make a great everyday watch.

Recently serviced and pressure tested.

Thoughts?

Make difference
Difference the value of the case and of the dial
You have to ask

Sorry, it's a service dial, so would it matter if it's on a 5.5M or 6.5M.


And definitely not a DRSD serial no.

Are you sure?
I have seen this dial in a drsd Rolex service

Price matters too

at the right price a great everyday. i love mine and it would lead me to be less concerned about damage if dial etc were service pieces. If in range of double red, you need to balance cost/cost to revert to original if you wanted.

Looks like modern (Luminova) service parts... I think it's a great everyday watch... at the right price...

Not sure what advice you're after...1665's are great on the wrist, that one would be an unbeatable beater. No risk of damaging a valuable dial and hands.

Is ist a good buy?
Depends on the price.

I wouldn't buy it, or one like it, but we all have different tastes and needs/requirements. I like vintage watches to be as close to all-original as possible, otherwise I'd buy a new one. It depends what you're into, really. It's a great watch, no doubt about it.

Thanks, this is my thinking too, less concern about my original and the option to revert.....if you can find the parts.

My original.

Thanks Vincent, I understand, I like all original for vintage.

However I do have an original 1665 and I do like how these wear. I was thinking of using it as an everyday, probably selling my ND Sub C for this.

Nothing wrong with it for everyday wear IMHO at the right price
