Last my son slept with my in the hospice. That was a good experience for the both of us. For me there was 24 hours medical care and he was the little prince of 12 years old guy pampered by the nurses. It was one of the first careless free moments we had in months. It feels good to have the ability to think about nice and good things to do with each other no matter the situation which sucks were you know we have to say good by to each other in the near future. With all the support we can have a lot of stress less and can live free. Carpe Diem Cats http://www.annetweijers.nl/Verzonden vanaf mijn iPad met behulp van Tapatalk

Good morning, The 1016 is finally on the wrist. Pretty happy with the way it turned out. Clearly, I have overworked/polished the case, but it was my first attempt at case shaping. I guess it somewhat looks like a 50 year old watch that has been restored a few too many times with a new dial. Regardless it wears great and I dig it. Never thought I would like the small size, but I really love the weight, thinness, and timeless simplistic style. I used a 1966 for my model watch to copy and that is what we tried to replicate. A BIG THANK YOU to Matt for assembling the watch and for sourcing some difficult to find parts. Specs: JMB case shaped by me Swiss ETA 2783 Yuki dial and hands with stock white lume Genuine 16200 crown which physically looks like the 66 1016 crown as in diameter and crown design Genuine 25-21 plexi that was in the original packaging:) Genuine bezel Aftermarket 7206 Rivet bracelet with WSO 580 end links I will say the watch looks better on and in person than in the macro photos which really show the overworked case. I am using an iPhone 6+ for the photos and made a make shift cardboard light box to reduce glare, but pics still suck. I am looking for a good camera and set up.

Anyone who deals with DW now deserves just what he gets!! He has proven time and time again that he is totally unreliable and dishonest. I'm sure Ebay suspended his store after the 5 negative feedbacks in a row in the last month. To the OP, DW Daytonas come up for sale here and on the other rep sales forums from time to time, just be patient, you will find one.

Not a wristy, but 1680 on today.

Pic doesn't show up. Maybe now

It really doesn´t matter, it depends on who assembled it, with how much care and under which conditions (i.e how much dirt got in during assembly or not). For shockproof You have top-chinese quartz (not a joke, they are good) It´s definitely on my wishlist, I do like the retro-look and Omega is on the right track here:)

I would suggest to wait, DW Daytona on M2M sales

And therein lies the rub with Sead. [emoji6] His prices can't be beat, and he's one of the most reliable TDs around, but generally does not send QC photos and tracking information unless they are specifically requested (I always do with all my preferred TDs, and he's one of them). Yep - you pay and your watch just shows up at your doorsteps a fairly reasonable time thereafter. [emoji1] One thing you're guaranteed though (and the reason why Sead is preferred by many) is he picks and sends the best available. Barring shipping mishaps, DOAs from Sead are rare.

Thank you for the nice comments. Sorted out the bracelet for now. Had a brand new 7836 in my box. Perfect fit didn't even need to size it. I think this works until I can find a good rivet. Sent from my droptop using telepathy.

Yes mymanmatt would be a great choice for a build like this. This specific gen dial is somewhat hard to come buy for a reasonable price though. I have been looking to change out my champagne dial for this dial on my tt DJ. Here is a pic of my 116233 franken built by Matt. I used a jub but you could go with an oyster instead. Sent from my droptop using telepathy.

Kevin I mistakenly sent you my gen!!!

here's mine, silix 6200 tropic build
