Thank you for the kind words, gang; much appreciated!
The project took about a month or so to track down the parts, and I'll admit that it was a little more difficult than I initially thought it would be. Not as difficult as finding vintage Patek parts, per se... But I had a few of my usual sources looking and they were a bit surprised that LV parts weren't so easy to locate (it took a little more work than they were expecting). But patience did prevail however, and before long I was able to strike off one item after another from my checklist.
The project is currently in a wearable state and I could consider it completed, but I don't think I'm quite finished yet; contemplating a few more changes
Thank you sir coolfire is correct; the Daytona is one of my first builds from several years back, and technically, it's not mine It does, however belong to my son, who will receive it when the time is right (maybe after he graduates). Thankfully, that's a long, long ways away, so until then I'll look after it on his behalf
