The seconds hand was a bit dented and had very sharp edges. I buffed it a little but the brass already started to show.
Will have to nickel plate again.

I fixed the loose bezel and if i manage to get the hands right, relume the dial and modify the CGs i recon this watch will turn out great.

A gen insert and a redo of the scallops is a also a must.

Looking for a bpsd movement. If you upgraded your guts, I'd like to buy your good working clone movement - preferably with the dwo still on it.

Thanks!

Not such a big problem, and that really gives the "final touch".
Just like the 16800 ... wouldn't be a "real" Comex without an engraved caseback.

But there's another difference between Tripdog's 16600 and 16660.
Just recheck the pics ... drilled lugs are mandatory on a 16660, vs optionnal on a 16600 (depending on the period).
And, of course, Sir Tripdog did that mod amazingly.
