Thank you kindly mate, this is my grail watch.

Specs below:

Ruby 1665 case
MQ GWSD rail dial w tritium plots
MQ fat font aged insert w tritium pearl to match dial plots
Gen 1570 hands, tritium filled by legend to match dial and pearl
Clark T39 super dome crystal
1570 movement
Gen open 6/9, flat 3 silver datewheel (period correct)
Gen 585 endlinks
MBW 93150 bracelet
Gen 93150 clasp

Case reworked/reshaped by tripdog, and mods by legend and aflop, all incredibly talented guys, who made this dream possible.
