Wow.

That is so awesome you found 585 end links! Super rare and very expensive.

Congrats for getting the CORRECT end links for your 1665!

Nice! It looks awesome. Congrats for being able to source the gen parts like that. Does it feel like it made a big difference even though the case is rep?

Thanks guys for the comments. A few answers...

They are rare and expensive , but I picked them up with the 93150 bracelet so I think the deal was better (but still very painful!). Bought from a private collection.

@mendota - makes a world of difference. Never thought it could but it does. Main difference is in the clasp operation and feel. Psychologically feels better as well - gotta justify it somehow LOL.

The case is a MBW/MBK and takes the Gen parts rather well - as we all know.

The plexi is a bit of a mystery, picked it up off a member and it was discussed a lot over on RG - there is a thread there.

A popular view was that it is a Clark mid dome T39 variant?

I have a Clark T39 Super Dome and a Phong T39 service spec plexi, but this is my favourite for clarity and rise/bevel - even though it is less true to OEM.

One thing we can always count on is that Mapman's builds look mighty fine! Great looking watch. :)
