I need a 3035

I will post the part number tonight. I'm actually getting another one for a separate case I have. It is not exactly like gen, but it does have that "jeweling" effect

Now, who has just the middle Case for a 1655 for sale?

All points noted

There is a very nice S&K crystal that fits those lemania/seagull cases that looks like this

Great. Are DW's hands and dial the best option yet?

The ones he received were DW ones. I have used the phong ones and ofrei. Ofrei tends to be better. The Phong ones had a hex arrangement that was not gen like from what I've seen, but worked well.

Is the mystery movement still available?

Reviving an old topic. Did anyone figure out which combo works best for the val23 movement?

The val23 for my 6263 with exotic dial is on its way and I wanted to know what hiccups I should foresee. The movement needs a service and I was planning of using DW's v72 dial and hands

I have been looking for a movement as well

How about that 16660 93160 solid end link?

When I get home tonight. The 7734 came with a carousel DW but I have a black font on the way. Cannot wait to get the movement done. Does anyone have a spare 7734 stem to sell? @M, I finally got a 19.23mm Grey NATO strap with sewn sections(not glued or heat welds) that fits just right in the DW case and does not have a huge gap on the 7032.

Thanks Justin and M. The folded bracelet would be nice. The end links I'm searching for but not going crazy about it. Eric's black faced MC was inspiration for sourcing this one. I have to say I'm a nit disappointed about the engravings as they are not what I asked for at all. Guess its ok though. Eventually I'll try to source a gen crystal. I already have a nice black DW do I'll stick with it.

After a year trying to gather the control and knowledge I finally got the MC parts I wanted to start a build on. I still have questions on what metal bracelet to put on it for those special occasions.What is the consensus on what bracelet to get? I Have a Bund strap from Eric that I plan on using for both the 6239 and the 7032(will be a 7031 when I get the black bezel) for now the 7032 will do just fine. Black dial and will age the hands and markers eventually. Gen Rolex pushers will be installed. Pictures to come later. This has been a long awaited project for me and I have been trying to learn as much as I could in order to start this project. The 7734 movement will be sorted and 45min conversion done prior to servicing. I'm still deciding on a red or carousel DW for the black dial(whether it is correct or not) Feedback is very much appreciated. E Picture update. Nothing fancy but couldn't wait for good light to take the pictures. ++++Update++++ I managed to age the dial in the oven together with the hands I trimmed down the hour hand, albeit a tad way too much, but looks great still with the missing lume Lume glow is almost null. Not sure if I will change this to a more practical working SL, but we shall see. The lume looks old and crackly with just a slight hint of browning The sub-dial hands are still the DW ones, but waiting on a set from Yuki to do the swapping **Chiman provided a stem that saved me lots of time and headache and I can wind and set the watch with no issues. Originally I purchased adapters that I still have not received by mail. Chiman, thanks man** Still need thick enough movement clamps to keep it all together and steady. Still want to swap to the better gen pushers, mostly for water tightness and aesthetics, but Spin says the stock DW ones are good for 3ATM out of the box. I lubed the seals and the tiny o-ring pair in each pusher(what a PITA to do so with no working lupe) and should at least be good to handle the occasional May shower now. I was glad to see a 700 looking crown in the DW kit(see picture). I will lupdate to a 702 with tube thanks to Ubi. The Daytona 6239 will get the 600 gen and tube and the 6263 the gen 703 I have been saving. Brushed bezel looks great. The DW crystal was dulled, then re-polished and it does not look bad. The cyclops magnification is closer to X1.25 than X2. If the experts could chime in that'll be great. Case comparison to the Silix/Cartel Seagull/Lemania 6263 The case back is not engraved as I requested. I think a folded bracelet or even a 93150 would be ok with the right end links. The grey Nato currently on the 6263 is one of my favorite and the color will be really nice against the black dial. What should I be looking at for the black dial? I don't want to age it too much, but don't like the glossy finish that much either. The seconds big hand will be sun bleached very slightly and I will trim the hands accordingly(Until I get the Yuki hands) The case back sits flushed against the case and the gasket seems thick enough to handle the job well. If I can get the crystal to sit tightly and the bezel to be fully seated and use some GS cement I don't see how this watch cannot go spear fishing or snorkeling Thanks for watching and thanks for the feedback. ---Updated pics--- So far the best end links I have tried on the watch are the 580 ones I purchased off eBay last year for the 1665 build. Best bracelet is the folded 7836, but the pictures were taken on a 78360 and 93150 locking clasp. I may need to re-polish the crystal and re-brush the bezel. I placed my order for a folded 7836 from Mary and will use these end links with it. So far everything is working out great with the build. May get some 1665 springbars to use.

Nice

Whose dial and hands? E

I have used gen replacements that did not have the flutted ends but rather a hex.

Finally put it out of rotation.

I tell you, I foresee a lot of people getting hit by cars in the city(NYC)

Details of the climb

Its for a wearing Awesome excellent piece fr sure. E

Sorry to hear about that man. If you really want to sell let me know. E

Make sure to use a dial spacer as well. Sometimes the overlay drags on the dial causing it to not fully turn

Home glad you got the pushers! Looks great. You did loctite the pushers, right? I cannot wait to start working on mine. DW is out of the bakelite bezels but you can find some on ebay.
