Very nice M! Now I'm going to have to get all three variations from ruscamera...maybe the Tutima also...maybe!

Very nice M! I like the look of the leather strap. A rather great build for for about 500 bones...

sneed...you are quite correct! Sorry for leading you astray J...for some strange reason I thought that the 2472 beat the same as the 1570 I guess it is really neither here nor there...you choose a movement that will either beat faster or slower than 19.8k.

I look on fleabay...

If the movement is going to be swapped out anyway...forget about the 2846 and go with a 2472....exact beat as the 1570 and non-hacking. The 2472 will come with a date wheel...but just get rid of it like you would the 2846.

WOW! Great job C! Did you use a micro-polish, like the stuff they use to get fine scratches out of black paint on cars?

Yikes L! I mean that the 7733 is thinner than the 7734 due to the date wheel plate!

I think the 7732 maybe too thin and the stem position won't line up with the DW case. This is due to the extra plate that the 7734 needs to drive the date wheel.

T...that is an interesting background! It reminds me of the watches that are on 10pastten.com!

Great write up J! I just don't know about those stubby CG's, but there has to be some magic you can perform on them!

Holy crap ...why did I even open this thread up!!!

Beauty of a shot N!

Tudor's do use ETA, but the date wheel usually should have serif fonts. Difficult to tell due to the aftermarket crystal, but it looks like the date wheel on this 79190 uses san serif fonts. So it may be possible that the the date wheel is not original to the watch.

I'm quite positive that Rolex used 316 until the late 80's then they switched to 904

That is a good looking collection you have S! Congrats on the 6263!

on my 7922, I thought that the "SELF-WINDING" text was too low to on the dial, but according to the pic below of a gen 7922, it is actually not bad! Now I got to git me a big bubble second hand from cwp!

What a stunning collection Ubi...I especially love the Spaceview...a historical piece in horology!

+1 for $270ish for just the case set (bezel, crystal, crown). $150ish for the dial and handset...so about $400-$500 as Ubi already mentions...

WWWhhhhaaa???? Some of Ubi pieces maybe be roaming the range???? Now your just talking crazy!

Another great looking build Ubi...say...aren't you past the 10 watch count??? You mentioned to me once that you would like to keep the watch count under double digits...

I third it...the browning from the oven heat looks almost perfect...

IMO...keep the rivet...the bracelet adds so much character to the watch!

Actually...contrary to popular belief, not all Daytona dials have pie pan sub-dials...

Thanks guys! very funny J...very funny....BUT...I agree with you, the 38mm feels and fits "right"...now what the heck am I going to do with my Franken 1550 Date?

Thanks for the kind comments everyone! D...the Sterny crystals are fantastic, no distortion at the edges. But I do like the looks of the bevelled T21 on LHOOQ's Daytona...I might consider going that route... Sorry Julius...
