Nanuq Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 How about a Jean-Claude Killy with baton hands? Or an AOPA pre-Navitimer? x2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freddy333 Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 But there are some problems ... from where will you get the case, dial and so on ... ???? A number of dial sellers have them. Here is 1 from Phong (made to fit a 72c) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanuq Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

omgiv Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GarrettP1 Posted May 29, 2010 Report Share Posted May 29, 2010 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted May 29, 2010 Report Share Posted May 29, 2010 What's the price range that those 72c Rolex dials are selling for? I just copied the pic. You can check his website. But, knowing Phong, I would guess he charges more than other sellers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southcoast68 Posted May 29, 2010 Report Share Posted May 29, 2010 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
