Yes. To date, I have not heard of anyone manufacturing aftermarket 103x movements.

With a DW case, do clarks / sternkreuz crystal t21 all fits the DW bezel? 

In most (not all) cases, the bezel's inside diameter is a bit too small to fit a gen xtal. So you will probably need to enlarge the inner diameter (with a Dremel, round file, etc) to fit a gen xtal.

By the way @freddy333, what do you mean in that post when you wrote "the hour totalizer hand to start 'creeping'" ?

Thanks in advance for your answers

As explained in the thread, the hour totalizer was running even when the chrono is off. As I recall, it was due to a worn braking component, but you (or your watchmaker) would need to disassemble your watch to diagnose.

As of now, it looks like congratulations are in order for Donald Trump & the Republican party.

Great to see some of the older handles again.

After I took the movement out of the case to properly align the main hour hand, I put back the movement in and after re-plugging the stem in, i started the chrono function to make sure it was still functional and - surprisely - after 10 or 20 minutes, i noticed that the sub dial hour hand had moved. But when I reseted the chrono, it did not come back to the 12 marker and was a little offset. But more than that, It did not stop (when I activate the pusher at 2) and continue its course along the sub dial... while the chrono function was stopped and the big second hand and the sub minute hand were back in place.

I noticed that when the sub dial hour hand has gone after marker 9 or 10, it reset properly (aligned with the 12 marker) but still it does not stop and continue to count hours although the chrono function is off.

My question would be : what is the way to settle this ? is it an easy way (or does that necessarily mean service) ? 

I've found some answers in a post from @freddy333, but can't manage to find it back ; if anyone could chime in, I would be very thankful

I cannot offer a fix for your creeping hour totalizer beyond the posted comments, but this is likely the thread you are referring to.

Your hard work shows. Well done.

Be nice to that old movement ... it deserves a life of leisure by now.
Great piece!

@freddy333 you don't think it's a good case/dial? I think the dial looks great! If only it was a 6263

Before making any more Daytona purchases, I would recommend taking the time to research the genuine model you are interested in.

On the same note I was recently offered this DW / Spinmaster 6241 and would like to know everyone's thoughts

Assuming the movement has been recently & properly overhauled, I would transplant it into a better watch.

Wearing the Submariner's predecessor today (Sunday)

No need to send me pics. Without having the watch in front of me, there is no way to ID the xtal or case. But feel free to post additional pics here (in the forum) in case another member is able to see something that I cannot.

Impossible to tell the xtal or case from the pic, but the dial (which looks nice) does not look like it came from DW (not sure what it is) & the coronet does not look it came from Rolex.

It is a nice looking bezel, but I do not believe it is genuine. On the other hand, coming from your dad is even better then gen.
