Everything except for a 24-7030 tube and movement.

As a set. PM for details. Prices = The ones written in original post. My purchase prices are lower than market value, so I ask the same if selling something.

If someone is interested in continuing this build, PM me.

I got pretty pissed and lost my drive to finish this build, when suddenly losing my 2000+€ movement.

Hologramet that is a fine build my friend !! Stunning ! 

 

As for comments about spending too much ? Hmm that’s really subjective. Many fellas on these forums like myself can easily go but a genuine version of the watches we build ..  lol but it’s just not that fun 😁  

 

where did you track down the dial and hands ? I really really love these dials on a Daytona and want to build one 😁

Sorry mate, completely missed this post:

Hands and dial was ordered from Rolex Geneva by my source. It was pretty hard getting ahold of Chromalite Daytona-parts. Check Chrono24. I've seen several dials and hand sets appearing from time to time with acceptable prices.

Have you sold this yet?

Looking good so far.
 
a couple questions:
 
how well did the gen parts fit the ruby case without modification?
 
was there an issue using the 1570? or did you just want the correct cal (1520) for a 5513?

1) Fit straight one.
2) I spoke to my watchmaker and he said that minute wheel and/or CO height needed to be changed. But minimal changes. However.. I traded my 1570 for a 1520.. And got scammed. Filed to state police authorities since he is under probation (for being a pedophile). I hope he has a nice time in prison.

UPDATE.... Fixed the crown guards:

Dude... This happens with 3/4 people who ask about items.

And then I get complaints that I'm "short" in PM's. A crown for 40 EUR and people want me to guide them to a tube, to fitment of movement, etc etc. You send payment details and then they don't even have the nerve to say they found something else or changed their mind.

This is standard. And that is the way it is.

Make good ads.
Be short.
Don't waste your time.
And the buyer will eventually appear.

That damn dial is the difference between my PCG being worth $25k+ instead of $12k.  Sigh.  

Here's a 1962 PCG

How was the movement fit up in the case?

Fitup issues would be the kind of thing that would worry me with a non-gen case.

I’m glad it all worked out. It really looks nice.

Some updates.

Trades the basically NOS 1570 for a 1520. Waiting for it to arrive. Decided to use the alternative mk3-80s-variant insert and added a gen light yellow tritium pearl to it.



Adapted 580 end links to fit the case with custom "93150"-Bracelet and Sub-C-clasp.


Final assembly soooon.

All yellow aged tritium is "compatible".


Note CGs are incorrect on Vietnam cases. Not horrible. But not especially good either. Will get these sorted out in the future. Can live with it for now.

Compared to dlf-modded 5517 with correct shape.

Platinum sub?

There's hasn't been one made. So you better look good and thorough.
