Big fan of this dial now.

I can understand measuring the inside of the case is a good way to assess the difference, but the outside will not be right as the gen has been worn and might be polished. The lugs are quite thin and the CG has definitely been thinned out due to wear and maybe polishing. Sent from my SM-N930F using Tapatalk

Will take a detailed look at your photos after I zoom into them, but in the meantime, can you confirm this is a A7750 with fully functional chronograph? If so, your chronograph reset hammer is not reset in your photos. I will copy your photos, and label them to help you identify the areas of the movement I'm referring to my friend. Couple of observations.. 01 by Micky Aldridge, on Flickr Below is how your reset hammer position should be.. 7750 reset hammer position by Micky Aldridge, on Flickr 02 by Micky Aldridge, on Flickr Your minute counter jumper looks trapped under your balance, usually a result of balance being refitted following removal by inexperienced repairer.

I will update you shortly. 03 by Micky Aldridge, on Flickr Here's A photo showing the correct position for your minute counter jumper. Swiss ETA 7750 Movement by Micky Aldridge, on Flickr

Does any one know how to reach MQ, Phong, Vietnamese dial maker or any ones els that has made great Daytona dials already. Also does anyone know anything about http://www.vintagewatchmaker.com/ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

the sunk cost of modding with tools, time, money invested exceeds what you could get from m2m when the piece has already been put together with correctly fitted parts. Much trial an error and issues go with vintage rolex particularly, the build costs just keeps piling up. learning how to mod costs money as well, even after many builds, issues still occur and the invisible costs of modding are unforeseen for the builder and rarely mentioned to the buyer. Mike hits the nail on the head, the approach for a full build purchase should not just be judged on the cost of parts, but the watch as a whole. Valuing builds requires experience and knowledge of what has been sold, purchased, and currently available in the market. This includes knowledge on how the build has been built. A $5,000 listed build can be more value for money than a $300 listing. It is all relative to what has been put into a build.
