INCOMING- 1665 Great White Complete Set.
I'm excited to have picked up a 1981 1665 Great White that comes as a Complete Set. The watch has a Service Dial, Hands, and Bezel from 1990s but realise how rare these are as a Complete Set.
The 48hr wait will be a painful one :P

I know you can’t wear box and papers, but I still think it’s seriously enjoyable to own them.
Congrats |

Thanks Guys. Although not perfect, it's bloody beautiful. I am in the process of sourcing some matching Tritium hands and have been able to connect with the 2nd owner who had the piece for many years. It answered a few questions I might have had and very happy with the acquisition.

The dial is nice for a service dial. With color-matched hands, I think it will look good overall. And the case can always be refinished if you choose. I would definitely get a better crystal, that distortion would bug me.

Dan, I have some colour-matched original Tritium hands on the way that should match perfectly!:) Not cheap, but will be worth it!!

When you have the hands done have the crystal done at the same time. Enjoy it - its a looker.

The period correct Original Hands arrived and were fitted today. I couldn't be happier:)
I also got the Original Bezel insert from the 2nd owner, another cool little addition to the Set!
