the collector Posted October 25, 2006 Report Posted October 25, 2006 what dials are you goint to use?
klingsor Posted October 25, 2006 Author Report Posted October 25, 2006 For now I'm trying to do also 3 watches: I bought 2 724 movements and I'm waiting for another. Thanks 724 ? may you show show some photo ? i need to see one thing...
the collector Posted October 25, 2006 Report Posted October 25, 2006 Yeah, actually im quite curious too... Whats the difference between a 724 and a 726??
Guest avitt Posted October 25, 2006 Report Posted October 25, 2006 724 is the GMT movement. I don't know for sure, but I'm afraid that it may be too thick to fit the VJ72 case.

Guest RiverwindMDS Posted October 25, 2006 Report Posted October 25, 2006 i want to see pics to see if it's possible to eliminate gmt assembly What do you think about it? Is it the gmt? Where are you from? I'm from milan.
Guest avitt Posted October 25, 2006 Report Posted October 25, 2006 (edited) That doesn't look clean to me...looks like it has a lot of rust. Edited October 25, 2006 by avitt
the collector Posted October 25, 2006 Report Posted October 25, 2006 @ Avitt, you are right, i did not see the fron picture until now....
watcher Posted October 25, 2006 Report Posted October 25, 2006 I"m trying to get into all this mod stuff you are talking about but I'm getting lost! Anyway if anyone wants to bid for this watch you will be up against me! Ebay no. 270042877520 One question guys, does the mystery movement dial fit the V72 movement. I guess the mountings are the same but a confirmation from one of you experts would be good.

I am very tempted but as i just bought two movements a short while ago i will have to pass on this one
Guest avitt Posted October 25, 2006 Report Posted October 25, 2006 The mystery movement dial has the correct subdial spacing, but the dial feet are in the wrong position. You can still use it, by removing the feet, and using "dial dots" or double sided tape to mount it on the VJ72.
