I would have gone with a Rolex Sub dial & crown, but other than that, nice work.

Meeting with new clients today, so I wore Goldie

Still wearing my Sub

Yuk.

Ending the work week wearing 1 of my Subs

Exactly.

Just after midnight & wearing my Aryan 'Master

There's no place like 178.63.8.144.

The movement mounts (in the case) for the V72 are in slightly different locations than for the 7750, so the cases are not really swappable. Unless you can manufacture very intricate mounting bridles that account for the differing mounting locations, you need to fit your movement into the correct case. If you have a V72, you need a case made for a V72. If you have a 77xx, you need a case made for a 77xx.

Looks good.

Me likey.

Looks good & if you write to PP, they may send you the catalog.

Unlike Rolex, ETA does not train watchmakers in the intricacies involved in spotting modern ETA clones. I have seen long-time watchmakers with more than 25 years of experience be fooled by Rolex movement clones, which are obvious knock-offs to any of the senior members here. Never assume professional = well-informed.

Ending the work week wearing my beater

Yup.

I prefer Nanuq's pair to Farrah's.

It looks good & I would ditto alligoat's comments regarding Rolex service. But, as always, to be safe, buy the seller before you buy the watch.

1 of mine came from a DJ dial (I cannot remember which). The coronets, even on the same model dial, tended to vary, so just find 1 that matches the style of the coronet in your gen Daytona pics. It does not matter what model dial it comes from as long as the coronet is from a gen dial & the style is similar to the coronet on the gen Daytona.

Buy a damaged/poor condition gen dial of similar age. Search ebay or the gen forums.

Pics are not as clear as I would want to see, but it looks genuine. Still, as alligoat suggested, I would not buy without good, clear pics of the movement.

Just past midnight & wearing this Sub

Slightly being the key word.

I have installed gen coronets on mine, centering them slightly better. But it is a very delicate operation - you have to be careful not to get/smear cement beyond the backside of the coronet when placing it onto the dial face. Also, because you cannot really fill the holes without drawing attention to the area, you can only move the coronet up a bit. From normal viewing distances, no one can tell, but, in the hands of an expert with a loupe, it may still be a giveaway.

I would request good, clear (in focus) pics of the other side before anyone buys this. He has 3 of the same (out-of-focus) pics. Could be he is a goon or he may be hiding something. At that price, I would want to see what I am getting.
