Clint Eastwood Posted June 30, 2014 Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 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!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kronopassion Posted July 5, 2014 Report Share Posted July 5, 2014 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? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clint Eastwood Posted July 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ephry73 Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 Andy is a great guy to deal with. I actually like his homage. Wouldn't mind building one for myself. E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
