polexpete Posted July 9, 2010 Report Posted July 9, 2010 Hiya all, well at last i can share my 6265 Daytona with you. I originally brought this as a kit in 2008 off of a member here who turned out to be a little scammer so i should be glad i received it, he later ripped me off for a Tudor case but that's another story... Turned out it needed alot of work which was beyond my capabilities so it spent the best part of a year with Micheal at Classicwatchparts in Hong Kong who did an awesome job putting it together and finding missing parts of the V72 for an amazingly cheap price. Specs are: - Phong case and back unengraved. (will have engraved sometime) - Phong bezel - Gen Jaeger-LeCoultre V72 fully serviced with 5 line Rolex bridge - Gen T21 crystal - Gen 78350 bracelet with 557 (not correct) endlinks - Gen 702 Crown and tube - Gen pushers - Phong dial and handset Pics... (Ubi style, thanks mate...) Thanks for looking! P.
alligoat Posted July 9, 2010 Report Posted July 9, 2010 Wow! Beautiful job Pete, congrats! Those movement pics are particularly cool. Wear it in good health.
wiesn089 Posted July 9, 2010 Report Posted July 9, 2010 Looks amazing, the V72, too, is a true beauty! Wear it well! My MM DW 6263 will be on it's way to Domi shortly to fix everything which was wrong with it on arrival (a lot) plus a few upgrades. Only waiting for two cousins pushers which should arrive in the next few days, can't wait and your Daytona isn't helping!
gplracer Posted July 9, 2010 Report Posted July 9, 2010 Outstanding! I love my 7750 DW version but would love a V72 if I could find one for really good price.
lhooq Posted July 9, 2010 Report Posted July 9, 2010 Jeez... a JLC Valjoux 72! That's not your usual Zodiac- or Clebar-sourced movement! Just beautiful. It's great to see persistence paying off in the end.
freddy333 Posted July 9, 2010 Report Posted July 9, 2010 Long time no-see, Pete, but it was worth the wait
FxrAndy Posted July 9, 2010 Report Posted July 9, 2010 Very Nice Pete!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
rolexmaniac88 Posted July 9, 2010 Report Posted July 9, 2010 Very nice Pete ! Wear it well because this beast is just magnificent! Would you enlight us on how much you paid for it with all the gen parts? Thanks
Ronin Posted July 11, 2010 Report Posted July 11, 2010 Wow, wow, wow! That would fool most. Top Rate! one of my future grails...
GiG Posted August 9, 2010 Report Posted August 9, 2010 I'm not sure that your case is a Phong, see this one got by Ubi: the bezel font is quite different.
polexpete Posted August 9, 2010 Author Report Posted August 9, 2010 I'm not sure that your case is a Phong, see this one got by Ubi: the bezel font is quite different. bezels are not part of the case, they do vary even on the gens... Cheers P.
flex Posted August 10, 2010 Report Posted August 10, 2010 great looking. Did MY assmeble the Rolex brdiges and everything? the bezel looks familar. Is the bezel the one I gave to Tribal last year or two years ago? flex

Is the bezel the one I gave to Tribal last year or two years ago? flex Hi Flex, I received all the parts in Oct 2008 from a member based in Miami, USA but guess its possible in this game. I dunno how accurate it is, not too worried... Yes Micheal has blank bridges engraved and his watchmaker installed it on the V72. The original bridge had JLC engravings... Cheers P.
Dizzy Posted August 11, 2010 Report Posted August 11, 2010 Awesome!! I love the V72 it looks great!!!
Stephane Posted August 11, 2010 Report Posted August 11, 2010 What a fantastic piece you put toghether Pete!
GABYBUM Posted August 12, 2010 Report Posted August 12, 2010 I see the genuine dial on ebay from planetwatch at finished price $611 last months. it will change the spoil to the greatest fake i ever see.
