WTF did you plan to do with it when you bought it?

[Guest HaloArchive]

WTF, I think you should put it in a Day Light PAM 250/-1

You mean i have to plan things? ;-)

Navitimer mayby???

[andreww]

Yep, I'd build a Navitimer if I had one.

[concepta]

Navitimer..hmm..i might.

How about a Daytona? I know VM9 is planning to build his based on ETA 7753

[FxrAndy]

Still too thick and have to move the seconds from 9 to 6 for a modern one

[concepta]

Yeah..but a 2000 P-Serial Rolex Daytona 16520.

You think it can be done?

[FxrAndy]

Looks like you could, not sure on the thickness though

[concepta]

Would be a fun project

How about put it FS?

How about put it FS?

Great idea! I bet it would go in no time!

[Andei3000]

WTF??????????

you should throw it in the garbage (preferably at a garbage can near my home address )

If you decide to keep it - I would go the daytona way!!

[andreww]

Vintage daytona would be nice, but I would want to do something that showed off the non-recessed date. Nobody is going to be able to tell what is in that Daytona case without opening it.

Your other problem will be finding a case that fits. The 7753 shares the same dimensions as an A7750, but not those of the modified a7750 3-6-9 subdial layout. The movement will fit, but the stem will not align with the case tube. The Navitimer is a good option because the case from the 6-9-12 Fighters edition will fit perfectly, but you will need a gen dial and a little bit of modification.

125th Anniversary Superocean Heritage Chronograph bi-compax layout Franken. That awta keep you busy for a while.

Does the genuine (3,6,9) Navitimer use the 7753 or a specially modified 7750? I thought that it wasn't the 7753, but the 7750 modified - if that's right then a gen dial probably would have the date window in marginally the wrong position.

I got so fed up waiting for an accurate Navi rep that I bought a gen 'Old Navitimer' (6,9,12). Now I am going to post my Swiss 7750/Gen dial rep for sale to help pay for it.

WTF! I just wanted to say WTF

+1 on the Navi
