A shame to waste the date functions. I would have used that 72c to build something like this

Whow ... what a nice watch ....

But there are some problems ... from where will you get the case, dial and so on ... ????

But I have realized in many of your postings in the past : You are a gourmet ... just like me

How about a Jean-Claude Killy with baton hands?

Or an AOPA pre-Navitimer?

A number of dial sellers have them. Here is 1 from Phong (made to fit a 72c)

This is very interesting... the Wakmann's day/date pushers at 8:30 and 10:00 stick way out of the case. On my Gigandet they are almost flush to the case.

Yours, freddy? If so... That is quite nice!

They all look really nice. Using the 72C really changes the style. I like both but the Daytona is more my style. I hope to complete mine someday

No. Borrowed pic.

Now I know where you borrowed that one from. Some amazing PPs in that thread...

Freddy,

What's the price range that those 72c Rolex dials are selling for?

I saw one on the 'bay quite that was quite similar that was going for $300. The dial was in perfect condition, and that alone made me assume it was of recent manufacture.

Thanks,

Garrett

I just copied the pic. You can check his website. But, knowing Phong, I would guess he charges more than other sellers.

This may be a rather unpopular opinion but, LEAVE THAT WAKMANN ALONE. Its got looks, and a character all its own. This one in particular looks to be in primo condition to boot. I came across one of those a few years ago. The seller was willing to let it go for $800 and I had to leave it do to being broke . That still kills me to this day. Wear that beauty with pride.

Cheers
