Ahky Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 Dear Members. I know that this topic has been discussed before, please forgive the inquiry. Nonetheless, I wanted to get your experience/opinion on which source you'd consider to have the better quality 6263 case, hands, etc. I recently purchased a gen 6263 dial, gen bezel and gen Tropic 21 crystal and want to put together the perfect project. Thank you in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 Were it me, I would go with a DW caseset (to supplement whatever gen parts you are lacking) & gen bracelet. There is a huge number of threads devoted to DW Daytona projects that I would encourage you to search out, as well as researching the gen you are interested in.

dluddy Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 or you can just buy my DW case set with a gen V23 movement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kent2 Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 i have found a donor. only thing is i am really starting to like it to much to strip out the movement. i wonder if there might be a better route val 72... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwhitesox Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 There sure is Kent look at the post directly above yours P.S - Do not strip that Heuer for the movement or I will personally send a shrink around to have a chat to you.

Martyd3 Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 Have to agree. Send me the Heuer and I will find you a working movement. I'm not kidding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lhooq Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 Sigh... It's entirely up to you, of course, but please consider finding a donor other than that Carrera. I have to believe there are still ugly or unremarkable VJ72 chronographs out there. Spare the Heuer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gplracer Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 I would think you could get another donor for a price less than the value of the Carrera. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vlydog Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 I recently did an about-face with my 1680 project because of a Yuki case; specs were way off and some of my gen parts were not compatible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken fingerlove Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 Gorgeous though that carrera might be, I bet it's 35mm and therefore far too small to be worn. For display purposes only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
