Akira Posted June 21, 2012 Author Report Posted June 21, 2012 Awesome E. PM me if you have details. Ephry, The stem l've bought from DW doesn't fit at all. Not the MM an also not a V72. That [censored]
lhooq Posted June 21, 2012 Report Posted June 21, 2012 Not the MM an also not a V72. That [censored] Great, so now there's a 'Mystery Stem', too!
Donerix 2.0 Posted July 1, 2012 Report Posted July 1, 2012 (edited) I picked up two stems for my V72 yesterday in Miami and they look like they could work. The only difference I can see is that the thicker part right after the thread (sorry I don't have the proper lingo down) is slightly shorter. Can anybody confirm that this would work? Then I could send one to Akira Edited July 1, 2012 by Donerix 2.0
Akira Posted September 10, 2012 Author Report Posted September 10, 2012 The mind boggles.... After I've got a V72 stem from Donerix - Thanks again! - I was thinking about gutting the whole watch. Meaning: Keeping the MM, if repairable, and selling the dial and case just to build this one: The question is: Will the MM fit my V72 case? Thanks for your helps so far Akira
Akira Posted September 10, 2012 Author Report Posted September 10, 2012 Or was there ever a pump pusher MM case? Not that I know of...
Ephry73 Posted March 31, 2013 Report Posted March 31, 2013 Ok, very stupid quick question about the DW dials and MMs. Will the foot spacing of the MM be the same as the V72, or the 7750 movement?
Akira Posted March 31, 2013 Author Report Posted March 31, 2013 MM translate to a V72 subdial and dial feet layout! Mine is still at Rolexaddict's place....
Ephry73 Posted March 31, 2013 Report Posted March 31, 2013 MM translate to a V72 subdial and dial feet layout! Mine is still at Rolexaddict's place.... That's what I thought. I do have a DW 6238 dial I bought a long time ago, purchased as a V72, but fits a 7750 with no issues.
flex Posted April 1, 2013 Report Posted April 1, 2013 i have both DW MM movement, dial, and cases lying around in my parts box...funny how we paid big bucks in the past and they always ended up in part bin...shoot me pm if anybody in need of anything... might put up my v72 phong with texas dial (bought froma watch show) for sale if anyone is interested.... flex
Akira Posted April 1, 2013 Author Report Posted April 1, 2013 Flex I've sent you a PM. I'm definitely interested!
Ephry73 Posted July 21, 2015 Report Posted July 21, 2015 The movement is not a copy of anything..., it most certainly is not a V23 (or 72, the 72 is simply a 23 with a 12 hr counter added) I have tried all the stems possible and none fit. I finally found a Bestfit stem that was close and needed some tweeking in the lathe to make it fit... Digging an old post for a stem. Any ideas if the ST19 will fit? E
eunomians Posted July 24, 2015 Report Posted July 24, 2015 Yea does anybody know what darn stem will fit? I've got a lovely working MM Daytona from DW (the first one I ever bought from him back in the day). Dam stem is broken!
eunomians Posted July 31, 2015 Report Posted July 31, 2015 I guess nobody figured this out! Or are secrets too much fun to keep! Lol!
eunomians Posted September 3, 2015 Report Posted September 3, 2015 Anyone have info about a stem that fits?
Ephry73 Posted September 4, 2015 Report Posted September 4, 2015 Parts in general would be nice also.
freddy333 Posted September 4, 2015 Report Posted September 4, 2015 I would take the stem (without the movement) into a local watchmaker (or 2) & ask if they have a replacement.
eunomians Posted September 4, 2015 Report Posted September 4, 2015 I can't get the stem out because it is severed right at the keyless works. The funny thing is that this watch is from the first batch DW ever made... And it has been the most mysterious watch I've ever owned lol! The stem broke a few weeks into initial ownership. Shedding light on esoteric info is what this watch represents to me.The mystery continues
freddy333 Posted September 4, 2015 Report Posted September 4, 2015 Can you decase & remove the hands/dial? If not, take the watch to a local watchmaker & have him do it. The downside is that he may look at the movement & just say he cannot match the stem because he is unfamiliar with the movement. Whereas, if you just bring him a stem, there is more of a chance he will just search through his parts &/or parts books to find a match.
