Another "Sparkle" dial Seamaster

I have pretty much given up hope of ever finding a replacement caseback for my ref. 165.067 Seamaster. This is a situation that I detailed in my first post several years ago. So I started looking for a ref. 166.067, maybe a beater that I could swipe the back off, since both models use the same case. Then, a few months ago, I run across one that has the gold cladding and a rather nice gold dial. So I started bidding on it and to my surprise won it for a very good price. When it arrived I put it on my timegrapher and realized that it was much too nice to cannibalize, so now I have two "sparkle" dial Seamasters, one with and one without the date. I prefer the no-date, but the cal. 565 does have the slick quickset so it gives me a change of pace when a gold timepiece is more appropriate. Still looking for a back for the 165.067, anyone.
