Considering they did produce these (& other traditionally black-dialed sports watches) with white dials For sale at Christie's Geneva Owned by Eric Clapton Owned by a well-known Rolex collector/dealer

No (I would not do anything without good, clear pics).

Generally, no. But, in this case, you should either hunt around for a better fitting crystal (gens are always best, though you may then need to mod the bezel) or use UV glue. The bezel is designed to fit tightly around the crystal & should be pressed onto the case, which forms a seal. As has been discussed ad nauseum, there is no real QC & little consistency among aftermarket parts. DW's cases are especially notorious for having ill-fitting components & causing constructors much grief.

Wrist checks are generally posted in the General Discussion forum & there is already a Wednesday edition posted there that you are welcome to contribute to.

Since it only happens to a relative few watches, that is likely the cause (defective mix).

Just after midnight & still wearing my '39

Ditto Nanuq, but you need to beat that case & bracelet up a bit to match the dial/handset.

Wore my '39 today 1 of these days, I will have to do a copycat pic with my Z.

Congratulations, but best not to get ahead of yourself. Being able to (honestly) charge for watch repairs takes alot of practice. In any case, good luck & enjoy the experience.

Can a Daytona play?

Ignoring the issues cited by previous posts, it looks like a nice rep Sub. I have seen better, I have seen worse. As always, the salient point is how much deviation from gen are YOU willing to tolerate? As always, you should educate yourself on how the gen 5513 looks & then go shopping for reps. That way, YOU can compare reps based on how much the sins of each rep bother YOU.

If you are willing to do some serious modding to the inside of the DW case, just about any V72 can be made to fit. However, considering the condition of that movement, fit may be the least of your problems. The movement may have other needs beyond a basic overhaul, which can only be determined once the watchmaker has it apart.

Read it? Surely, you jest. Remember, this is the fairer sex. She wanted to wear my watch, so I gave it to her & that is how she put it on. Obviously, not a sportsfan.

No mystery. She put the watch on backwards. Women.

That pic was taken in the Tr The models - not naked & you have to pay more if you want them to jump, but they show off my watches nicely

That is a bit high. 325 is generally considered the upper safe limit so the balance wheel does not knock.

PM sent.

Ditto back to you. & your car trumps mine.

DuDro - Did you find that job in your chosen career (I am assuming you would rather not have details posted here)?

Are you a postal inspector (1 of the few that does not wear a rep gotten from an intercepted package)? & where is the pic of the gen collection?

If the stem lock is stuck down, you have no choice but to remove the dial/hands. Once the dial is removed & you have a looksee at how the keyless works operates, the problem should be obvious. In most cases, you simply have to realign the parts that popped out of position. Good luck.
