It may be parallax effect, but the II markers at 12 look wider at the bottom/narrower at the top. Honestly, though being a rep, not much you can do. Its probably fine.

It depends on how they are shipping. Direct, or through a distribution hub, and what is claimed. I believe after May 3rd, the de minimus exception goes away and you pay a duty/tarriff with the current % or MINUMUM $75. No one is really talking about the impact of de minimus going away. If I understand it correctly, a $10 Watch Part from China automatically becomes $95.00. Those $5 Temu T-Shirts = $80... How the hell the postal services and delivery carries will collect these en masse is anyones guess.

These are for ETA-7753 or 7753 clone like SW-5xx. I remove the Auto Winding mechanism and you get the same "experience" as VJ72. Here is the movement 7753 Clone. DW also sold a reduced height caseback for these. Once you remove the Auto-Wind mechanism, it SLIMS down to Gen'ish height. https://www.ebay.com/itm/156849873115 Also, ST-19 makes the WORST Daytona reps. The 12hr subdial is not a totalizer, but just follows the Hour Hand. You can choose to "FREEZE" the 12 hr hand but not worth it. The Subdial spacing is also too WIDE IIRC>

I have 7750 converted dials from DW: 1. Eric Clapton 2. Neuman Panda 3. Neuman Reverse Panda 4. Silver Panda 😀

Most will try and talk you out of it. It would cost a minimum of $150 from the most generous watchmaker in labor. Your best bet is to find a "Working" donor watch with the same movement and just R&R it yourself, or by a modder/friend, or ultimately a real watchmaker IF they would do it.

+1 Pictures are hard to go by. Can you also send picks of endlink engravings and link screw heads? It is defintly post-1972. And a "G" Code places it 1982. It has requisite "stretch" it appears. Is the watch a 1982?

100% agree. Those thick lugs squared off the case too much. The 126610 symmetry and balance is great. 👍🏼

Anyone know the dial diameter of a 116xxx DJ? Thanks.

I don’t see any image(s) ?????

Interesting. I have been on a “build a vintage Tudor” kick lately. I have two incoming cases, and SIX incoming dials. LOL.

Dang that is pretty!!!

Excellent review. I wish they would use "Clear AR" on the cyclops. That to me is the biggest tell. Although, to be fair, Rolex used Blue AR for awhile during the Pandemic. I have seen GEN Steel Rolex's with Blue AR but most/all precious metal Rolex's still have Clear AR. JDF's Cyclops actually looks like the only one using Clear AR--too bad the rest of it is not that great.

@freddy333 we need more photo's details of that Tudor! 7928?

In which direction? Height, Width(dia), Length? I agree a millimeter in lug-2-lug (length) can make/break a watch for smaller wrists. I would also say a few grams in weight can make/break a watch as well. (Heavier "Heft" is NOT an indicator of quality) I have small wrists 6.75" / 17.14 CM and could not wear the 39mm Omega Spectre cofortably-- but I can wear a 42mm NTTD Ti, Seadweller 43, Panerai 111..... Mostly because the Lug-2-Lug (Length) is short enough for the wrap. Take modern Tudor, their slab side cases and thick movements ruined the Black Bay 54 ... a 37mm watch. Unbalanced on the wrist. Final example: Seiko SKX, Turtle & Willards with a published diameter of 42 / 44 / 45mm! They wear smaller than a 40mm modern Submariner. Anyone can wear a 42mm Seiko SKX... I had a buddy who worked at a major US watch retailer, and most watch retailers are secretly "rolling their eyes" at customers who claim I can't wear anything larger than X or I only wear X diameter watches.
