R, I was typing when you posted your pics. Now I've had a close look I think it's got to be 702 for me in the future. I see what you mean about the sunflower look. Nice. Here's a question: Given that my case has been tapped for a gen 703 tube, is it possible in the future to re-tap for a 702 tube? Please please please say yes........

Thanks for that R appreciated. I'm not scouting for a gen 702, I'm quite happy with the tall coronet 703 that is now fitted to the watch. I just wanted to highlight to any other Daytona builders that (assuming the JAW crown is good quality and an accurate rep) there is a reasonably priced option for a build if you don't want to go to the expense of the gen 702. I for one did not even know that there was a rep 702 crown and tube set. Whilst we're on the subject, what about gaskets. I notice on the JAW photos the tube is not pictured with gaskets. Is there a 702 crown/tube gasket set available anywhere?

Oh. So if one was to build a 70's 6263 Daytona the JAW 702 crown and tube at $150 looks quite a good buy then.

Thanks again for that alligoat. That makes complete sense because I was sure I had supplied a 703 tube with the tall crown and it fitted fine so I hope you can understand my confusion. Alls well that ends well. For a horrible moment I was thinking that I had supplied a 702 crown and tube (unbeknownst to me) and had those expensive parts fitted wrongly to a 6263 'Tona. Ugh.

Welcome Mark, nice to see young blood keeping the old place alive and kicking!

I also would like to know who's case this is. Come on Topoky, spill the beans!

Thanks alligoat. If I may further enquire: I bought a crown and tube for my 6263 Daytona about 1 year ago. I bought them because, as I understood, the crowns originally fitted on 6263 Daytonas were different to the 703 service crowns in that the 703 service replacement had a slightly different logo, the emblem was shorter and fatter and there was a bigger distance between the bottom of the logo and the triplock dots (as per freddy333's photo 703 above) than on the original, taller logo'd crown where the base of the logo was noticeably closer to the triplock dots (as per freddy333's photo 702 above). So, if you're all still with me, does that mean I bought a 702 crown and tube, or was there an early version of the 703 crown that looked, from the outside, the same as the 702?

Does the 702 need a different tube to the 703?

Seems like a really good idea to me but why not go the whole hog? Get the 127 glass and a gen bracelet et voila!

Hell

I have no watch to put it on. I have no idea what I'm going to do but I was wondering what the opinion was of the JAW 702 crown, any good? POS? Any cheaper equivalent alternative? Is $150 a rip off? All the usual questions. Thanks to any experts who care to share their experience/knowledge. Humbly and respectfully yours. Dieselpower.

Very nice. What are the specs on this?

@cc33. Think about it. A nice Smoky BBQ marinade, tenderising the meat then flame cooked with a little hickory chips to give more flavour. I reckon your arm might be quite a tasty morsel. Reckon you've missed out on a good feast. Thankyou for your sacrifice.

It took 4hrs and 9 mins to rumble this guy. I don't know weather that's good or bad. One thing I know for sure, this is a special place. Lets keep it so

LOL

Good riddance to bad sh*t. Well done cc33, it takes bottle to call someone out when the entire world is your audience - FWIW I appreciate that.

With a collection like that you certainly don't need advice from me.

Thanks for all the advice, much appreciated. The watch is virtually finished and should be back with me in a week or two. I will experiment with the endlinks that I have, also I am now spoilt by having two gen bracelets to choose from ( ) so I'll make my mind up what to do then. By the way and off topic(ish) but today I received a set of 580 endlinks from WSO which I have fitted with gen springbars onto an old school MBW rivetted 7206 and they are a lovely snug fit (on a new 5513 MBW head). Thanks to highoeyzum.. for the recommendation.

Brilliant stuff.

@ TeeJay, So how did you like Snowdonia?

Very nice. Bracelet and enlinks are rep?

No worries J. Thanks for the help.
