  1. Interesting, I have a modded one that I did years ago. I added a domed plexi. I was thinking I might wanna let it go after all these years. Anyhow, go for the mods. The watch is great!
  2. Great!! Mine is in Customs now... I hate the waiting game :-(
  3. Yes overall from the lackluster photos, the watch does look highly accurate and very exacting in its execution. I am looking forward to seeing it in person and I will take/post clear detailed hi-rez photos
  4. My QC pics. Looks great to me. The FC looks the same as my genuine FC APGP
  5. Who offers a RG bracelet that matches color-wise the latest beautiful RG Hublots? I've got a RG Evo and I think I wanna try a bracelet!
  6. I dig the watch! Perhaps a bit overpriced but it's really nice. Cheers
  7. Modded Forged Carbon RG GP + OEM GP Strap
  8. Some V72 case kits are easier to work with than others. Same issue with some of the hands not fitting (need to be precisely broached, etc.)
  9. Let it be known that 7750 can't be transplanted due to the fact that it will not fit + pusher placement etc are not matching. I'm am speaking in respects to the DW V23 MM watch. This also applies to the DW V72 case kit. On a very related note, even trying to fit a V72 mov't into a DW V72 case kit is very difficult. The tolerances are so poor that careful major reworking on the supposed C72 kit case must be done. Frankly, it is not for the faint of heart or inexperienced modder. Bottom line is that the V72 kit is not well made and it's not an exact fit.
  10. Yes it's a peculiar & wholly unreliable mov't! Might be worth servicing as I've got a pretty but dead DW MM 6265. Are these able to be serviced so that they can be relatively reliable?
  11. I've been curious about a Phong build with OEM dail, too Let us know how this project fares. Cheers
  12. I don't have pics but I own this watch and I have it paired with a custom genuine croc insert strap. It looks fantastic. This watch is very well done btw. You will be very pleased. Cheers
  13. Freddy, I can appreciate your sentiments in regards to wrist sizing. I wore my 1675 for 20-25 years daily and it was/is perfectly suitable for my 6.85" wrist (same goes for my 5513). There is something 'diminutive' going on with the 62xx Daytonas on my wrist. Same with 1016 that I regrettably sold back in the early 90s for pennies. It also reminds me of how the IWC Mark XII and Marl XV fit with my wrist. They are gorgeous but somehow are just too small for me (still can't part with my Mark XV). The peculiar shape of the Daytona visually makes it appear even smaller than it is on me. I still can't figure out exactly what it is. Maybe I long for the original design to have come in 20mm lugs and 39mm-40mm case width? A more balanced overall ergonomic concept? This is all somehwat torture for me because vtg Rolex is still my favorite to this day! ***sorry, perhaps my posts here are a bit off-topic
  14. Scavenging a V72 from a vintage beauty is not for the faint of heart. My last build used a Zodiac dive chrono. Big mistake. And honestly it's a waste. I regtret it and I also regret selling off the V72 DW made with the Zodiac heart. I should have put the Zodiac back together.
  15. I've got several mystery DW MMs sitting & collecting proverbial dust. None of them worked for more than a week. Maybe it's time to revisit cobbling up a V23 franken after all these years. I'm def. done making franken DW V72s (too much sacrifice for a tiny & less than enthralling end result IMO). But using making multiple V23 DW frankens out of all of my parts...
  16. Love this watch! Very well executed & it's got that "feel". The OEM strap is lovely, too.
