I got mine from Ebay....was 16 bucks iirc

Thanks someone was kind enough to send me a link to the reproduction sticker, so I’m sorted now thanks.  The cheap ones aren’t listed on eBay U.K.

Looks wonky to me. 

Thank you sir. 

Hey guys, any idea where I can get a reproduction radiation safe case back sticker? Hopefully without paying £120 for a fake ebay gen? Thank you.

Yes mate it’s on a Yuki oyster at the moment and it’s pretty good I have to say. 

Thanks to @sputim absolutely love my 6239.

If your patient you can get a head only for even less then just add a rep jubilee bracelet or whatever you fancy. 

Get a nice vintage DJ, you can always swap the dial out, plenty of gen dj dials about, obviously I’m not anti rep but it’s not worth putting that much into a franken when a gen is in reach. 

Save a little more and you can buy a gen DJ for that money. 

Probably you are resticted from pm as a new member. Try and contact a moderator for help. I don’t know sorry.  

@rolojack who’s a member here can help you. 

Depends on your budget. Your looking at $1000.00 minimum for a cartel st19 based watch up to $6000.00 plus for a Vietnam V72 Daytona. There are a lot of variables to take into account.

Ok well note you are a guru ;-)

but despite that I’m not full convinced because if I looking for on chrono24 almost all the 1665 have bevel like my pics above ..

 

Diamond jeweler file :/ isn’t enough a nail file ?

 

No nail files files are no good!

Stranger things happen I suppose but I’m having a hard time believing this. Very lucky!

Thanks, I’ll probably wear it a strap for a while and  save for a gen, maybe having a bid seems to be the way to go as buy now prices are a bit silly as usual. 

Hi guys, what are the available options for a 19mm braclet to fit a cartel Daytona? I’ve recently acquired a very nice modded 6239 from @sputim which came with a leather strap. I’d like a bracelet so as far as I’m aware my options would be:

Gen with cartel endlinks, a rafflestime oyster or rivet or a yukiwatch oyster. Is there any other options I’m missing? Period correct would be a folded link band, (although I’d prefer a later oyster band) but I’m also considering a rivet band which I like the look of even if not strictly period correct for a late sixties 6239.

Any advice on the best option would be appreciated. Thanks.

Well damn, that's significantly less than what I've paid. And lower than the prices listed on her site. Are you sure she wants you sharing this?

It does say wholesale, these aren’t retail prices.

I’m just sharing what she sent me in an EBay purchase.

It is a year old so prices might have changed from her. But if it helps you guys getting a better price, all the better.

Wish I could understand this, I have no idea how to read a blueprint.  

Really nice. For our benfit what part of the vn bezel needs to be machined? I read this a lot but it’s never very specific. Also which dealer did you get those dial from if you don’t mind sharing?

Both based on cartel case and venus mvmt. Best you can get without going the v72 road but still not dirt cheap. Good vn dials with gen crown cost 300+ and to machine a vn bezel to fit the cartel case is another story I currently have 2 v72 and 2 more in the making but also wear the venus very often

Ooh, that's a pretty great post, thank you for sharing that. That doesn't seem that bad at all truthfully, it completely changes my opinion of the build.

 

I suppose a vietnam dial is probably the best/most bang-for-buck vintage Daytona dial you can get nowadays; is that correct?

Yes but some are better than others.

The 6263 in question:

 

https://puretime05.com/daytona-6263-ss-white-black-dial-black-tachymeter-bezel-on-ss-bracelet-venus-75.html#

 

The goal would be to replace the dial and hands, for starters.

 

Does this watch take gen-spec diameter dials & does it have the same hand dimensions as gen? Some quick searches did not turn up this info but I apologize if I have missed it somewhere.

 

Thank you in advance.

 

 

this will walk you through fitting a gen spec dial. A lot is achievable if you have the skills. Take a look at rolojacks and slays posts to see what’s possible with a cartel base. 

Can we see the finished watch? If it’s ready?

Sorry everyone!  I'm not sure how to fix the links to my old pics without paying $399 a year!

 

It's good to see that an old post is still put to good use!

Just click this and upload directly to the forum. 

I’m interested if this comes up for sale, beautiful.
