  1. DW likes to do a disappearing act. The trick is to get him when he first appears. The later it gets the more likely he is to disappear. I've personally lost around $800 us to David in the past, the last time was $300 us for various parts. I lived, lost, and learned to never deal with him again the hard way.
  2. does the watch flop around on the perlon? I have mine on a rubber b right now that wears really well, especially diving. just looking at other options. the weight is quite good but I find the bracelet gets too much attention with the polished midlink (I've only worn the bracelet once) I have the 116710ln version, franken. everything fit so far with no modding except hand and dial (a later project).
  3. but those would be incorrect hands to use and you wouldn't have a gmt hand. best is to modify gen hands to fit.
  4. the bumpy paint in the bezel is a dead giveaway, gen is not painted its dlc. that and the crystal has to go. if it was mine, gen bezel, crystal, the crown and the hands would have to go.
  5. it might just be me, but I think this thing is just plain ugly. looks nothing like a 6263, well maybe after 8 or 9 beers and through a frosted window.
  6. nicely done. I ended my attempt because of the hands and put my bp back together. kudos on making the sleeve! I may revisit this project in the future.
  7. It would be too much work to even try to mill the case properly. not to mention replacing almost all the visible parts would be required. might as well buy a different watch. the sum of all this incorrectness and the desire for a nice 1675 has got a lot of people blinded into jumping at these.
  8. what Geof3 said ! the dial is terrible even a marker is missing at 50 secs. the datewheel is the wrong color. the dial has the date window already too far to the left than the gen and still the date is too far to the left in the window not to mention that font.. . the proportions are so bad, my guess is the case is off too making this not a candidate to even mod or franken.
  9. this just gave me a heart attack. well done! beautiful.
  10. the 5004 is an amazing rep. something about the giant dial, ceramic case combo I don't like with the top gun. comically big agreed.
  11. I'm using the new dw bezel seems a lot better than previous efforts.
  12. wish I could wear the DSSD, it just sits a little too tall on my wrist to fit under my shirt sleeve. +1 for the Seahawks.
  13. the part you are referring to as the bezel is the rehaut. the bezel runs around the crystal on the outside. now if you are referring to the rolexrolex text depending on model, both will have. contact seller to provide qc photos prior to buying to make sure they are lined up. but if you are looking for the overwhelming flaw to this generation of Daytona it would be its thickness. now that being said the difference between the kurvasit model and the one from puretime, because of price is probably the version and movement inside. ideally you'd want a chrono movement and at this point means a 775x based movement. this version will be thicker. there is a slimmer model available, but this does not have any chrono function, significantly less in price, but more correct in general appearance. good luck and welcome to the forum.
  14. the problem with chs hands is unless you are building vintage, new model hands are next to impossible to find. ive been looking for 116710 hands for around 2 years now. its pretty easy to find 16710 hands but 116710 has eluded me.
