Vintage daytona parts

[Clint Eastwood]

Hello all,

 

For a project i have start a year back i search parts i cannot find and need your help .

 

I  start to make a Paul Newman style Daytona, non branded but with my own logo and name on it, with 7750.

 

I yet have a case with asymetrical pushers and i put a gen crown and tube on it, gen Clark plexi after resizing the inner bezel ring on case,  and plane to put a swiss 7753 on it.

 

Parts i need are sterile dial (any type) and hands ( for asia and for swiss); hands i cannot find what i want is for subdial as i want the one who are wide, more wide than on most rep, more like gen ones; also search a silver bezel ( think my case are a DW one) .

 

If you know where i can find it let me know, i hope to can finish it soon 

 

All the best!!!!

I can't believe your on a rep site. Can I have your autograph? Lol

The Stoneface-tona.

Of course the automatic reply to your quest for parts would be....

"Do you feel lucky?"

[Clint Eastwood]

Lucky? Since i search this subdials hands for a year, i doubt 

 

Have you an idea?

Not as easy that one would think. I worked on this and putting on the final touches:

Mine look like this today, only dial and mvmt come from Schuren, others parts not:

Nice. Finding a sterile dial though is near impossible. Unless you can find a dial maker or the rep manufacturer. Did you buy the current PN dial in pic from Schuren?

I buy the whole Schuren watch with 2 spare dials for a very good price.

After, i mod the watch, change parts, and now only dial and movement are from the original one.

I now sterilize the other dial by sanding print, now just need a small coat of varnish with airbrush.

Problem is that i cannot find steel bezel and the correct hand to use a swiss 7753

Andy is a great guy to deal with. I actually like his homage. Wouldn't mind building one for myself. E
