Hi Chief, off topic - how can I contact you? Your PM box seems to be full and I have a question. thx, J

hmmm...

thank you!

Slevin 4 today

Mate, nice pix! Which PAM is on the last pic? Thus isn't the 243, or? Best, J

Can you post the link?

Would be a bada$$ watch on vintage leather...

Maybe because this questions was handled multiple times, and your answers could be found if you use the search function? Not sure, just a guess...

there is NO decent 116520 or 16520 with sec@6! only way is to build one by yourself if you can spend $ 4000+ go with a vintage one if you want to have an accurate daytona, or buy the gen. no other possibilties yet best, J

Thought the same...

You won't find one used...try to deal smthg out with your AD

i think he is looking for a gen www.chrono24.com ?

Try the search button mate. Do a research please before asking this old question. Sorry, but there are too many answers!

This is the question, but it seems that nobody is aware.

Very good question! Good luck! PS: maybe this could help you: http://www.rwg.cc/index.php?app=core&module=search&section=search&do=search&fromsearch=1 ....

yes, watches are porn... ;-)

Hi, I would suggest you make a research for 16520 - there are tons of information about the projects. mine for example is a modded ebel movt. Be sure that you get all the necessary conversion parts like hour wheel and so on... and you will have to kill the date mechanism on the zeniths (and ebels). price range normally is between € 400 - and ~ € 800 best, J

i've heard that there should be an option to choose the 15300 with closed casback - can anybody confirm this? also going to pull the trigger on the white one - daytona, what about a (small) group buy? ;-)

sry, just saw a similar thread with same question....

anybody knows if there is a closed caseback avail. ? thx, J

may I bump this topic with an answer, if there is an update on the cases? still looking forma dytona case, but phong is incredibly expensive ( but guess it's worth the cash) anyone who hase a mbw case left, or a used phong case? best, j

Here we go with "wrist-TV"....

Many thanks, Mr.Z, your post makes my day ! Let´s see how things turn out - I am waiting for my JAW case, hoping it is awsome... These kinds of projects are indeed a little - let´s say - challenging. To invest in the parts is the one thing, to source them is another one. To be honest: I was lucky to get an A-Series dial from the one and only, very polite and patient chefcook, for a more than fair price. The movement was purchased from flex, who did all the required mods (date function removed, hour and minute wheel changed to gen) , and included gen Rolex hands, Minute and hour wheel - great seller, very nice guy! Case, including pushers, Xstal, Caseback a.s.o. was sourced from JAW, who also offered me a good price. The bracelet was bought from a seller on the bay yesterday. The total amount of this project including Domis labour for servicing the movement and putting everything together - and I think I got good prices on the parts - will be around € 3.300, which is approx $ 4.400 (USD). I will list everything once it is completed (guess at the end of May), and will llight a candle for my patient supporters. Without them and the help of all the members here, a project like this is very hard to realize. Thank you all! :notworthy:

Some eye-candy for those who're interested... Everything still wrapped! Yummy...

Yeah, it was hard to find - tried it for nearly one year, but the automatic research on ebay worked well. I hope that the JAW case is of best quality and worth the bucks... Movement and dial were both sourced from honorable members here. Another 16520 to come, soon
