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? -
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??

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.
-
Nice work Freddy. I need to do the same for one of mine, what kind of sandpaper did you use? What grit? Thanks.
-
Can anyone point me in the direction of a good tutorial for swapping Pam crowns? Thanks!!

I too am interested... but starting to get doubtful without pics.

Unfortunately due to my clumsy ways I knocked my wrist against a doorframe and there's a small, but visible and annoying dent in the outer edge of my ROO bezel. I don't know if it's me, but the stainless seems soft in this watch. Any ideas on how to fix it?

I just got a beautiful ROO Safari and am killing myself trying to put an OEM band onwithout success. What am I doing wrong? Is this even possible?

Very slick... Also interested in the strap dealer. -
Do you know who has the black magic "lite"?
-
yes... john travolta, breitling spokesman, is as straight as they come...
-
indeed... if only they could make the numers a bit thicker it would be pretty damn near perfect. i hope our dealers can offer this soon....
