Guest RiverwindMDS Posted October 23, 2006 Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 Aha you are the Milano Italy guy... Are these DW cases? Yes I am The one without the engravings is not a dw kit. The other I don't know but it could be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watcher Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 I just wonder how many of us are looking and bidding against each other at the moment. Who else is looking for a VJ72 movement on Ebay! I have the case and hands now but need a movement and dial! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest avitt Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 There are now 8 Daytona VJ72 cases listed on the bay! How times have changed. A year ago (when I was shopping) a case set would pop up every couple of weeks or so...and they went for 2-3X the current prices. But then again, back then you could pick up a nice VJ72 movement for about $500. These are good times for the Daytona custom builder.

watcher Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 Looks like a movement is going to be expensive for us all if we want the perfect Daytona I'm trying to source one elsewhere but they are getting harder to get in good condition.

Guest avitt Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 There are now 10 concurrent auctions for vintage Daytona case sets! That's the most I've ever seen, and I'm sure it's an all time record. Expect another spike in VJ72 movement prices, as demand keeps pace with the flood of cases...

watcher Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 Well last night I was the lucky winner of the auction for a new old stock deep diver watch with what is described as a perfect working vj72 movement. Bit pricy to say the least but I'm addicted and my condition knows no bounds until I get the CC bill! And now the funs really begins!!!!!!!

the collector Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 Klingsor, this must be the same movement you have for your project Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klingsor Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 The microstella is the difficult part to find... it seems like there are no microstellas from the 727 sold separately... Keeping my eyes open still.... you will find it only in some exchange expo ..... like http://www.iwjg.com/ new york http://www.eurotime-marketing.de/ germay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klingsor Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 Klingsor, this must be the same movement you have for your project my projects are complete since semptember... one has the same movement .... i hope to transform one to the genuine one with about 2000$ in the next future ....

the collector Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 (edited) How have you planned to get the engravings done? BTW what dials did you use for your watches, did you get them from DW? Edited October 28, 2006 by the collector Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
