halley

dw has some non screw down...

Yes same here...beside I feel like VJ72 prices are now constant after a upper phase the past year...

YEAH !!!

Micha what hands are you using on this, DW?

Let me know if you managed to fit them, because most of them are unusable on a VJ23/72...

I Need to find VJ72 hands now...

Yes AP RO CHRONO and TUDOR IS LONG DUE !!

The Steve Mcqueen blue dial version is just plain cool...

Hell yeah! and the alligator strap is of a tremendous quality !!

Very nice pics I like the 217 (specially with a bikini with that sun, I would have expected it!!!)

Here is the topic I was looking for the past 2 weeks!!!

You managed THE project nobody can ever tell this is a rep because it is simply not !!!

I say hands down to you, I'm amazed wear it well !!

Wearing only one watch a week... I usually only wear my 1665 SD, but this past week the Daytona frankenstein has claimed ownership!

Speaking of watch box... Did you get your Scattola yet?

Not yet unfortunatly having trouble communicating with the Miss the Dealer that doesn't speak english and that provided me uncomplete bank infos that prevented my banker to make the transfer as soon as I would have liked too...but the deal is about to be sorted I hope because I officially can't wait!!!

BTW I almost pulled the trigger on a zenith class sport EP400 that would have perfectly be at home on this scatola, but I'm more and more enclined to get a upper grade EP open so I passed and perhaps made a mistake for $1600

Show my pics of that 16520, you rich man I can understand the 1665 did not get much wrist time !!

Minute hand is shorter on gen and crown is much better looking IMHO

NO replies from any contacts I tought would help.

So we need to do this on our own, lert's shoot it loud:

IF ANYONE KNOWS WHERE TO PRODUCE A SANTOS 100 DIAL PLEASE HELP!!!!

I need that watch, the color is GREAT!

Well if you know where to source a gen dial, I'm interested, for the feet I believe it is the same position as on the rep AFAIK, the gen also uses a 2892 base caliber...so it should fit no problem if the case is the correct dimension.

Well I own a Mcqueen 2894 and I wear it, dial and finish is about perfect for the price, the croc strap is of a GREAT quality IMHO and easy to wear, almost dress watch to me, believe me you'd wear it -

What we can't do is wear only one watch a week, I alternate almost everyday now! That's why I own a reduced -but good- collection, a vintage omeage would be a nice touch though for me a 300 wouldn't look weird in my box!

What I thought also, the dial looks very good too with that nice strap!

About that dial what can be done?

I had one, A killer but the CG wasn't fitting perfectly well on the case.

Very pleasant to read and I know our pain, my MBW is off my hand now o finish the project, can't bear screwing it up again!

Easy to franken, get a speedmaster case and a 7750, I bet dials and hands can be found on ofrei.

alright, will email him NOW.

About the rep santos strap, it's indeed very very poor, I had all the troubles of the world finding a strap maker willing to make me a custom strap, but maybe Aaron could help us to have the plastic patern inside the strap used to recreate a gen alligator Santos 100 strap

Meanwhile High res pics of the Santos 100 dial could be usefull.

Yes is supposed to be a lefty, but this watch is best worn on the left hand ironically.

For us who wear watch on the right wrist a non destro panny is best

I bought this one cheap and looks ok I love the color:

This one also looks good:

Or maybe this guy had also a PN an knows exactly the weight of one. never ever remove your watch from your wrist. Your friend would have removed is platinum YM to let someone handle it? NO WAY.

I don't see people removing from their wrist a 20k watch except when this is for a GTC.

No she doesn't have it.

About that SANTOS DIAL, I would like to commission a perfect dial, an idea where I should ask, any dealer here have the abilities to commission parts?

Given the fact that this is for a Cartier and not a PAM I believe only a few members are interrested.

Let me know about that if this can be done this would be a great step forward.

Superbe watch,

What was done to the case?

I still haven't seen a pic of the improved Santos 100 ? Any dealer has a news about an hypothetical Santos 100 chrono?
