Donerix 2.0 Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 I know this should be in a different section, but since admin hasn't been able to figure out my upgraded account status I am trying to bring this one in through the back door I sold my Spinmaster Paul Newman and now I can't stand not having a vintage Daytona. But this time I want to end up with the best possible result. So if you have a complete watch, an unfinished project or some great parts please send me a PM and make my dream come true. This is what I am aiming for: Paypal loaded and ready Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolexaddict Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 I have an exotic wood cabinet full of 6263 and 6265 for sale -built by myself- , just need the time to take pix with my pedigree tag and I think I have to pay a contribution to get the right to sell here Unfortunately I play in the kindergarten and my daytos are just basic DW cases and 7750 movements, in fact, exactly like Spin stuff, not inferior, not better, just same stuff some samples : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donerix 2.0 Posted May 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 Great stuff Rolexaddict. It would probably smarter to just stick with the 7750, but I want to have that grail piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tabularasa415 Posted May 14, 2012 Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 I'll stick to my DW/Spinnmaster with the 7750. It's just as visually appealing with a fraction of the cost in the build (even with gen parts)! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donerix 2.0 Posted June 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 Ok, have to warm up this old post. Got my parts in. Nicely engraved DW case set for V72 with a good exotic dial (black sub dials, even if the dial feet don't line up with the V72). The V72 from ebay turned out to be actually nicer than it looked on the ebay pics and runs like a charm. Now trying to put it all together the problems started First the large second hand disappeared (don't ask, but somebody might have a broken arm one day...) and the DW sub seconds hands don't fit at all. So now my cry for help: does anybody have a handset that will fit (size and color)? If yes - and especially if you are in CONUS please send me a PM. Thank you in advance.

cc33 Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 You might want to ask David.. as a last resort.. he is working on my v72 now and had the gold hand set for it lying around, maybe he has the set you need? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
