Hello RWG !
After many weeks months years (2 years, in fact) of a very hard journey, I finally finished my first manual Daytona project - the 6265
Finding the parts was hard... Finding the right watchmaker to work with was very hard...
Next step is a 6240 with the same kind of parts
Here is a quick list of the parts used :
- Valjoux 726 "Roamer" in pristine-like-new conditions. Takes 1sec by day on the timegraph, can you believe it ?
- Phong case and case back, 5.2 mil, 2nd generation "thin" case to emulate a polished case over the time
- Silver Big Red dial, 2nd generation, with gen hands. Most of the Tritium plots are here, witch is very good
- Gen MKIII 6265 bezel
- NOS 702 crown and 7020 tube
- Gen T21
- Phong pushers, because his case is a big [censored] [censored] of [censored]. It would be gen P302 otherwise
- 7835 bracelet and 271 end links, because 571 are not fitting, and I was lucky enough to find this bracelet in new conditions 1 week ago. End links was NOS / never used, can you believe it ?

Because some photos talks much better than I can, here we are... Hope you'll enjoy it !!!
Cheers ! :)
