  1. I was introduced to this forum after hunting down the best possible explorer case for a homage project. But I quickly became stuck between a rock and a hard place as I couldn't find an economical dial printer to have my custom dial produced. So having contacting JMB here I ended up going rep on the dial and having the superb JMB v2 1016 case as the heart of this build. The rest of the build list is pretty balanced for cost/availability/quality. It went together very nicely - no dramas! So here is the full spec: JMB v2 1016 case (not aged, but engraved) Gen spec spring bars Acrylic crystal Yuki 1016 dial Yuki hands ST2130 movement Currently on Choicecuts Horween leather Pics:

  2. So finally after searching, searching and more searching I stumbled across this beauty, The Rolex Daytona 6239 (by DW) and bought it...in a heartbeat. I bought just the head as I thought the GEN rivet I will find one day for sure. But I wanted it to mount this icon on a Bulang & Sons 19/16 vintage leather strap. And I think the end result is really nice and it is also very comfortable to wear. The seller I bought it from also informed about a website detailing more about this particular build `Daytona small dial` http://www.hqmilton.com/watches/rolex_daytona_6239_black_dial_with_early_small_daytona_with_white_and_silve/ I especially like the fact that it is not screaming Daytona or PN or anything like `hey look at me`...but that is what I feel is so attractive about this particular dial. The subtle `Rolex Cosmograph Daytona` just between center of the watch and the coronet. What I also like about this build is that the hand wind movement allows for a very flat build (guess as per gen looking at the dimensions). The watch has wear on it just like you would expect but not too much. And the engraving finishes it off just right. Not fully noticeable even when wearing a leather strap. So now on to the pics It all started with the watch head ....and even without a strap it is beautiful But I knew I had to get a nice Bulang & Sons leathers strap for this beauty...

  3. I generally prefer bracelets to straps on a 62xx Daytona, but always love seeing them no matter what affixing device their owner chooses.

  6. Sweet piece...I just grabbed the silver dialed version from m2m....chucked a yuki bracelet on it, looking pretty sharp. I like your black dial though, very nice.

  12. Did someone say Persol 714?? These are mine: I will admit, they are a bit heavy. I also really like the classic RayBan Clubmasters.
