Kronopassion Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 Dear Members. Will be building a 6263 soon and was wondering if there are any alternatives to the costly Val72 movement (not the A7750). Will be using dial from MQ or Yuki so the alternative movement needs to fit these dials. Thanks in advance for your help and expert guidance.

ww12345 Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 Other than a ST 19 with non working 6 subdial, then no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 The Valjoux 23 is the bi-compax version of the V72- then you'd have a non working subdial at 6 o'clock, similar to the ST-19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
automatico Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 Someone in the know can tell if an ST19 will match the V72 sub dial hand positions but I will say from experience that the ST19 is a very good, reliable movement. The dial feet are not a match of course so it might be a problem mounting the dial securely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ww12345 Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 I'm pretty sure I saw someone on here or one of the other rep sites that had converted a ST 19 to a v72 dial/hand position but I don't remember who. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomhorn Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 (edited) I'm pretty sure I saw someone on here or one of the other rep sites that had converted a ST 19 to a v72 dial/hand position but I don't remember who. This might be the thread. http://www.rwgforum.net/topic/136033-modding-the-cartel-vintage-daytonas-for-proper-sub-dial-spacing/ The ST-19 is not a swap for a v72. The size of the movement prevents it, even if you want to do the mod to correct the subdial spacing. The St-19 is 31.3mm and the v72 is 29.5mm in diameter.

ww12345 Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 Ah, didn't know that - good points tomhorn. Could the case be milled out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
