photon Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 I wonder if you guys know where to get a plexi crystal with a Cyclops lens for a DW 7750 daytona case. I have seen one but, could not trace it ... I'd like to replace the Clark T21 on my Tudor Daytona and pre-Daytona! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fabioliveri Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 not correct plexi, for big block ( your case is 62xx Dw ) is T-25-130, you can get gen rolex plexi T 25-21 from blake , http://www.scotchwatch.com he usually has the plexi. and fits Dw cases, but , honestly, use Tudor cases, 62xx cases and tudor dial, for me , it's not a good match.

fabioliveri Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 Sorry cyclone lens...dont know, let me check a gen T21 and a gen T 130 ( the gen tudor plexi ) and let you know if you can put it, if yes, you should buy it from an Italian Jewelry, 70 euros each one, called Borghi e Turrini.

photon Posted July 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 Thanks, fabio. Thanks people for the comments. The specs are pretty much the standard DW daytona case/hands for 7750 plus gen Tudor dials. The only unusual part is the smooth bezel. This is for gen 36 mm oyster cases. The bezel required a minor modification with a lathe before fitting nicely to the DW case. Also, I used a Swiss 7750 and its Sea Gull copy. Both of them have been converted to manual wound by removing the rotor and two associated wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WCM21_88 Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 Man those are friggin bloody gorgeous bud, best of luck finding what you need, are these DW builds? Specs? @_@ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmb Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 One more thing you can possibly do is carefully epoxy a glass magnifier to the T21. When I built a crystal for my DW Montecarlo case I had to glue on a magnifier... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
photon Posted July 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2014 jmb, the crystal on your Montecarlo is very well finished. I am not sure if I can do that well but, certainly a good option. Thanks! WCM, they are my projects with DW parts and gen dials. Since the DW case I use are made for 7750, these projects are pretty simple and easy. All I had to do is to trim the dial a bit, machine the gen oyster bezel and remove the rotor and two winding wheels from 7750. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmb Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 Thanks, photon, I wasn't trying to show off the crystal but showing that a glass magnifier can be glued to a plexi crystal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
