A couple of years ago I built a 16660 using jackjo's ssd as the base and it was my favorite. LINK
Then I had some sort of major malfunction and sold it. Please don't ask me why...
Some time passed and I just couldn't get over the loss. I sent an email to the person who bought it off the person I sold it to. :lol:
To my surprise he agreed to sell her back to me! I was so happy. I ordered a new BpSD after reading so many good things about it with plans to swap the case set if it were indeed that good. The main thing I liked was the crystal, which has no lec. I also ordered TC's 93160A to replace the (from what I'd been reading) poor Bp bracelet.
Then I decided to go NOS vintage look. This decision came from the purchase of a NOS 16660 insert. The gen insert I had was pretty beat up, cracked pearl and all. At the time I loved this look. But as I age so do my taste buds and my taste in watches. I loved the new insert I picked up. The tritium pearl was a warm patina yet it had never been mounted and was sitting in its packaging begging to be installed. I actually didn't mind that it cost more than the BpSD!
The triple 6 arrived and shortly after the BpSD came too. I immediately saw that the Bp case set was superior so I sent both watches over to my main man Pbdad.
Today it came back and I am one happy mofackle. Enjoy the few quick iphone pics.
