New here - would like some suggestions on how to build a Tudor Prince Date Chrono

Hey guys, just joined recently and am going to get started on my first watch pretty soon. I've got a couple of old ETA movements on the way that I plan to put to work in Tudor subs - probably a 9401 to start, followed by a 9411. Anyway, I would really like to have a Tudor Prince Date Chrono (pre-Tiger) and have tried to dig around and find some info on the best place to start. I've seen a few original dials on Ebay but they seem a bit pricey (around $300 USD) and I'd want to use a genuine ETA/Valjoux 7750 movement. So I guess I am asking what would be a good starting point for a case? I've seen a couple of Daytona reps but none have the proper Tudor Chrono bezel (at least that I've seen). Is there a case that will allow a drop-in 7750 + genuine dial? What about the proper crystal, as the Daytona doesn't have a date mag?

Thanks for the help. I am a Tudor fanatic and would appreciate the info!

I used to have a source but the last one I got for somebody they said it was crap so I guess your best bet would be to try to buy a dead seconds at 6 Daytona for cheap...
