Case & dial look good, but getting a clone Caliber 3285 to look & function exactly like the gen is the key. Can you post macro pics of both sides of the movement?
I can’t as I’m not a watch smith. But as I remember it these will accept Gen everything.
HUGE thread on these.

Unfortunately, all of your pic links are broken, but here are a few of my DW frankens (all V72-powered) --
I think you just had to understand that English was not his default language & he used translation software for most of his communications. Because of this, if you did not keep things simple, misunderstandings were possible. That is why so many people had problems dealing with him. I did so much business with DW that we became friends & we had plans to meet in China when I was there to visit with my girlfriend's family. Unfortunately, due to scheduling issues, we were unable to meet.
Based on my experience, I found DW to be quite honest, reasonable & bright. I think there was a thread many years ago that discussed this (including comments from DW) that you may be able to find with the RWG search.
Whatever the case, I think many would agree that properly constructed Daytonas based on DW parts were classics, including Goldie in the pic above (which was a 1 of a kind custom case that DW designed for me -- without charge!).-

Ok but what about the large crown? Did some early 1680s have larger crowns than later models?

This 1680 has a large crown very similar in size to the reps sold years back..
Is this just the incorrect crown?
This dealer is selling several gen vintage rolex in the $20,000+ range.

[mention=3605]tony[/mention] those are spectacular early examples of DWs. Verrrrrrrrrrrrrrry tasty!
Lol let me say that I had tremendous luck with DW at first. I think he liked me because I ordered watches from him from very early on.
I last tried to order I believe a 6238.
The watch I received had a broken dial and a case back so misaligned it would only go on half way..
Needless to say I walked away from reps at that point but kept these..

What makes this a fantasy dial? Is the open six' on the dial? It's trust it is a fantasy dial just never realized it.
