Thanks guys.. I busted a Clark trying to fit it..lol good thing they are cheap! The plexi is too thick so when I to fit it to the inner part and then try to put the bezel over it it just doesn't fit. I will try another.
I will wait for you fxrandy.
This is what this member at RG got from DW:
direct quote from him:
"now have V72 clone movt and valjoux 72 movt with asia 7750 model"
"the V72 with 7750 parts all is perfect close genuine and all accept the genuine parts just 7750 movement is different. And the V72 price is USD 350 genuine band with crown tube the 7750 price is usd 288"
Does this mean anything to you?
But I asked him about the V23 last week and he told me to scrap that- didn't recommend it. This seems different. I just emailed him to confirm. Some one else over at RG was told that there is a V72 clone and that is what sparked my interest.
From Steve at DW:
"We actually do have those left,
It has exact same spacing as the V72, but the subdial at 6:00 is frozen.
Steve"
I know about the V23 clone that sucks, but this is different..
I just bought a DW and either his english has improved, he upgraded his translator, or he has an English speaking partner because communication has been flawless.
If there were good dials that fit then I'd be all over the cartel's current batch. I like the case and xtal, just hate the dials and that kills it for me..

Well according the one Rolex expert and Rep dealer premadonna aka Josh you guys know nothing and these a perfect.
Here is what the man himself told me
Hi,
there is nothing wrong with the dial.
Back in the 60s.. Rolex is never consistent with dials.. When I make.. it is one of the version.. it is definitely correct ..
Dont be misled by the smart alecs at the forums... they are post speculative remarks.. Not many people see this watch in person.. I admit I have never seen it .. But i have tons of material and rolex ref books to back my replication... Its shows all the dials made by rolex over different period.
Thanks

Dave is finally recovered and deserves to be reinstated across fora! Lol! Good choice, but we will probably see it up for sale or donation 24hrs after you strap the baby on..lol! Enjoy!
Hehehe! Dang! You know me!
Honestly, I might scrap being a cheapo and go the spinmaster route. I honestly want a 6265- a reliable one. Tudor?? Damn it there is something about that stupid crown I like.
I like 3 and 4. Now the problem is that I want to stay on a budget and although a spinmaster would be ideal, right now I am not willing to fork $600 on a watch I might not use as often as my Panerai's.
Am I willing to risk it? Not sure. Does DW ever sell complete watches that don't don't collapse on you? Lol! I have a few watches that will sell to fund this so I have a bit of time to consider. Also this will be my only Rolex..since I am getting rid of two subs-- I don't like the attention they attract.. Prefer watches nobody has a clue as to what they are and for a Rolex these are pretty inconspicuous from a distance.
What bothers me the most are not the flawed subdials or hands of these new daytonas but the huge Rolex font! The PN is the only option for me (the font is closer to gen) and it is not my favorite combo unfortunately.
edit: I am also waiting to see if they release my favorite of the bunch, 6265..
