TgfRulez Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 Hi everybody,<br />Finally I've found a bargain V72..<br />Now, I can finally build my ultimate Daytona, my 7th Daytona build..<br />Here the family<br /><br /><br /><br />I already have many components, just wondering which dial and hands install on this ultimate piece..<br /><br />My favorite combo is the silver big Red 6263 Daytona..<br />Any aftermarket interesting solution?<br /><br />I am not interested in the expensive gen dial.... Moreover, which hands? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 Try Phong, NDT & Yuki. Remember that each seller's wares have a different set of inaccuracies & you need to select whichever sins offend YOU least. Also, keep in mind that none of this stuff has much consistency, so best to ask the seller to send pics of the actual parts before shipment (make sure he understands you want them *before*).

lhooq Posted March 24, 2013 Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 The best aftermarket "Big Red" dial for the V72 is DW's, in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sneed12 Posted March 24, 2013 Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 I have a spare WatchNY 6263 and a spare DW 6265 bezel, if you're looking for either of those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lhooq Posted March 24, 2013 Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 Here's a link to vlaletom's 2008 post about his V72 build, which features the DW silver dial. It was one of my early inspirations, and remains a watch that anyone would be glad to own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valty Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 The best aftermarket "Big Red" dial for the V72 is DW's, in my opinion. I agree, other sellers have many "big" flaws... @OP, Maybe it would worth the cost to ask Phong some recent photos, I know he had some cool Daytona dials for sale... like this : http://www.ebay.fr/itm/QUALITY-REDONE-DIAL-GREEN-OMAN-DIAL-DAYTONA-REF-6263-/181043785420?pt=Wristwatches&hash=item2a270ceecc#ht_500wt_834 Not even close as the gen, but if you want replica... I think it's pretty cool About the hands - never DW. Especially if you go with a v726. The middle chrono seconds hand is too much fragile. Phongs hands are not too bad. Not tested by myself, but they looks far better quality than DW under a loupe. Just ask for a photo before shipping, he mixed up some of my hands one day.
