No made unfortunately. It CAN be made by sourcing various parts, but wouldn't be a cheap build.

Thanks C! Hope all is well bud!

 

OP. Just to give you an idea on cost, heres a very quick breakdown.

Base watch, rep 1665 with dg2813 movement. $140

Aftermarket hand set $35

Flat caseback $25

Bezel Assembly w/ insert $250- $300

Crystal $25

Gen Crown/tube $75

Custom DW $40

Gen dial $500 more or less. You may be able to go to a Yuki dial for $120. Not exactly the same but the closest real rep one you can find. Or find something similar cheaper.

 

None of this includes a bracelet or modding work if paying someone else to do it.

 

Again, just ballparks off the top of my head after sourcing parts for quite some time.

No I get it, I appreciate the insight. This is by far my favorite so I might be getting with you on the build, might take me a while to source everything..

It was a really poor nipple dial. I had a friend who wanted to do a similar build about 6 months ago. I reached to every TD I could and nothing was available.

Could I use one of these to start ?

If I was forced to choose, the first is "closer" although the crown guards would never be that accurate on that case. They closer to a sub. I suppose you could pull some parts from that watch and try and find a 1665 midcase and combine and source some other parts to finish it off.
