I'm building a cartel with a yuki dial in the next few. If you are using a cartel dial, the date window isn't beveled it is rounded off. Not a huge deal but to me it is a detail I don't like on the cartel dials. My 2c.

Really like it! Wasn't aware people could drill and match up from the outside. That opens up some nice options. Great work.

The DW coronet is extremely flat and "open" mouthed, so a swap is in order. I found this dj dial in my watch box and I am pondering if it is worth swapping it. To me it looks better, but I am not expert. So, what is your opinion on swapping the coronet from the dj dial to the daytona? Experts?
I agree with Freddy on this. It's your watch and if you love it awesome...enjoy it. The completely beat up look seems quite off to me. I most often see this with pams and they are so beat up, as if to look as if they were at the bottom of the ocean. And it does look fake. I recently bleached an insert and went way to far, it looks cool but does not reflect a typical vintage watch. But nonetheless wear it in good health.
I picked it up from DW, you can PM him. Just got it today. It will need some work, take out auto gears, waterproof, gen crown, better crystal. Bracelet has a horrible buckle.
