No, vj72 ticking away, all chronos running properly.

Working on a 6265 Franken project, had a couple questions for the experts here. First off is the bezel, I have 2, wondering which one is more accurate. First 2 are of what I will call Bezel A, the second 2 are of Bezel B. I included the 60 and 110 markers as these seem to be the biggest tells. Apologies for the mediocre photography skills! Finally is an old case I have lying around, I believe from DW. Just want to make sure it will fit a VJ movement based on visual inspection. Thanks guys!

Wanted members' opinions on this dial, looks like a 6240 vj72 dial for a Franken project I am working on. Looks to be a rare variant with Cartier stamp (Rolex sold through the Cartier store in New York for a short time in the 60s, there are a few floating around but they are like hen's teeth). I like the style of it, just wanted to hear what the experts think. Thanks!

Was going to buy this off a chap I have a connection with. What do those of you who know a lot more than me about such matters think? I plan to use it in a Franken build. Thanks to all for the assistance.

Martin-- who do you think posted it there? And what is the problem with that?

http://www.ctime.com/watch/price/378-1.html Lots of information here on how the industry works. I used Chrome to translate.

Thanks, thought so. They sure are hard to find!

I am considering a Franken Ap Offshore build using a spare LWO movement. Will a rep dial work on that or do I need to buy a gen dial?

my own: Gen dial, hands, pushers, bezel, bracelet, Phong case, VJ72 engine

I am trying to purchase a watch however am in the USA, not germany, and they will not allow me to join and contact the seller. Any German members here who can lend a hand? I could arrange a payment for acting as an intermediary... Thanks!

Where can you get a NOS dial for €1000??

USA

I have, after much time, effort, and $ finally acquired the pieces for my dream build, a silver-dialed v72 6263. I have a local watchsmith to put it all together but would prefer one of our esteemed board members with horologic experience. Can anyone who has done this kind of thing recommend a builder for this project?

Nice! Did you place your order the day it was offered? I ordered the second day, trying to figure out how much more I need to wait...

Anybody with connections know if this is possible? I wonder if AP is aware of the increased quality and accuracy of our reps and is doing a clear case back in response... The new model has a ceramic bezel and pushers. Very nice.
