pitimany Posted October 22, 2006 Report Posted October 22, 2006 I had been working in this for more than three months. Finally this week, got all the parts (oppss, still missing hour and min hands, they were installed in my DW Vj23). Is this dial good? Or, Is there any better quality? Do anybody has a set of hands for VJ72 (or the hour and min at least) ?. Thanks. Donor KIt Dial
Guest avitt Posted October 22, 2006 Report Posted October 22, 2006 I think that dial looks pretty good! (Can you tell us where you found it?) If you MADE me look for flaws, I would only question the quality of the subdial printing. You're going to end up with a very nice Daytona.
pitimany Posted October 22, 2006 Author Report Posted October 22, 2006 (edited) Thanks avitt. The dial came with my DW kit. Do you know where can I get the hands (hour and min ) ? can I use the datejust hands and change hole diameter ? Edited October 22, 2006 by pitimany

That dial looks better than his earlier silver attempt. Are the dial feet in the right position? (If you don't know, just post a picture of the backof the dial). For hands, I'd stick with those that are made for the VJ72. Sources include DW, Andy Tolley (timeman.net), and Terry Fu (time_holder on eBay).

Heywood Posted October 23, 2006 Report Posted October 23, 2006 That's going to be a fine piece when you're finished with it. Congrats!

Did you try the 3 names Avitt gave... AT has some I guess. Further I am sure that DW would have included them in the kit? But do I understand you have used thoes up for your VJ23 project? I have exactly the same project going on... Very nice!
the playful eyes Posted October 23, 2006 Report Posted October 23, 2006 Hi there! I'd like to know where you got your dw kit. I've been searching for them for awhile and I can't seem to find a way to get ahold of the kit. PLease let me know. Thanks! pitimany said: I had been working in this for more than three months.
