Ephry73 Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 Sent PM with link. Just thought it was weird that THE SAME looking pair was up on hellbay. Those two sure look good. I'm waiting (still) on parts to complete a silver bezel 6263 and will get rid of the rest and just keep my "night and day" pair. E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alligoat Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 Those pics are pretty darn good Valty! Especially when I can look at the two movements and see that there is a difference between two of the same part- a minute repeater jumper- #8270- your 726 has the later style jumper w/ two screws and the earlier watch has the jumper w/ one screw. Valjoux made changes to these watches thru the years- also the balances are different as are the pivoted detent bridges (the 'L' shaped bridge at 10 o'clock). And of course, you found the hand sizes slightly different. Just like our rep world, things are always changing. Great job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ephry73 Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 Speaking of hands and hand sizes, where does one source the best set of hands for these vintage Daytonas? Particularly the large chrono seconds hand? E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E I personally only buying hands from DW, they are pretty good in general Little tip : just buy 2 sets for 1 watch, there is sometimes problems of bent with the chrono seconds hands, it's better to have replacement just in case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dipped the seconds chrono hand in a bit of lume to try and I like it. I don't care if its correct or not I would still like to get the correct handset for the final build stage.
