cc33 Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 I finally got my 6265 daytona complete and returned to me. It cost a lot and took a fair amount of time to get it right but it was worth it. Special thanks to Valty, thank you sir, I couldn't have done it without your help! Specs are v726, phong mid case and case back, gen pushers, gen crown/tube, gen bezel, gen sd t21, gen big red dial and gen tritium hands, gen 571 ends and 78350 band. I will add a few more pics when I have time to take more, here are a few from today. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ogladio Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 Don't know if I've ever seen a more ambitious (and guess expensive) project. Well collected! Needless to say, it looks bloody darn great. I can't stop looking and will go to bed extremely envious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
