klingsor Posted October 26, 2006 Author Report Posted October 26, 2006 What do you think about it? Is it the gmt? Where are you from? I'm from milan. not so clean .... many rusty.... (some contact with water....?!?!?) i'm about 200 km from Milan but pls personal details only by PM
klingsor Posted October 26, 2006 Author Report Posted October 26, 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. you must try .... 270042877520 is a good choice you are free for me ... i have three semicomplete project going up ... this one is very interesting for the reason we told before....
klingsor Posted October 26, 2006 Author Report Posted October 26, 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. yes as i done for mine ... but i have seen some dial done for this ... with feet in the right position ... one in a expo next me (the people wants 300 euro for it !!!! ) ... and one in a specialized shop next to Rome ... ( 380 euro !!!!) i think it's better to find one like mine and to remove feet as Avit says
the collector Posted October 26, 2006 Report Posted October 26, 2006 Guys which is the right stem for the 6263 and where can i get one? Thanks
klingsor Posted October 26, 2006 Author Report Posted October 26, 2006 Guys which is the right stem for the 6263 and where can i get one? Thanks next to you ... from a reseller of spare parts of whaches .... or ebay
the collector Posted October 26, 2006 Report Posted October 26, 2006 Whats the refernece number for the stem? BTW what do you with "next to you" ?? Thanks
Guest avitt Posted October 26, 2006 Report Posted October 26, 2006 Hi collector. What you need is a tap 10 (0.9mm) stem for a VJ72. I have found that most VJ72's of this era used 1.2mm stems, so it's good to have a source for the correct piece. In the past, I have purchased NOS stems from Blake Scott, ttred29@earthlink.net.
klingsor Posted October 26, 2006 Author Report Posted October 26, 2006 Whats the refernece number for the stem? BTW what do you with "next to you" ?? Thanks this one is next to me and is the one of the bigger supplier of spare parts in italy.... http://www.zini-mignani.com/main.asp

Need a VJ72 dial now! glad for you ! the last good dial i seen was on ebay... but probably some one here can help you to find one .... i want to see some macro photo of this movement it seem very interesting remember ...probably you must cut the feet of the dial.... but ask to people who sell it to you...
watcher Posted October 28, 2006 Report Posted October 28, 2006 I will take some good photos when it arrives. I will try to find a gen dial but I'll use a DW if necessary. I've set myself a budget for this one and hpoefully stay within

watcher Posted October 28, 2006 Report Posted October 28, 2006 a real gen Dial cost like the watch you have bought.... I know but I will try and get one for less if possible. Maybe I'm getting carried away with this project already!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Some of my reps might be trading owners soon

My watchmaker is going to service the movment and lube where required before removal and refit! Need a VJ72 dial now! I need a watchmaker in the UK, where is yours? will he do work on reps? Thanks
watcher Posted October 28, 2006 Report Posted October 28, 2006 He is not interested in building these watches but he will check the movment and then the rest is up to me. Time could be the biggest issue for me but I will try and get it done as soon as poss. Really need another dial first. Does anyone know if DW still supplies dials and if so what are his contact methods? Thanks guys!
the collector Posted October 28, 2006 Report Posted October 28, 2006 (edited) DW, has some pretty good dials.... I think there is one silver DW on the bay http://cgi.ebay.com/6265-6263-daytona-repl...1QQcmdZViewItem Edited October 28, 2006 by the collector
Guest avitt Posted October 28, 2006 Report Posted October 28, 2006 That's not a DW dial. That looks like it comes from the same factory as timeman's. I exchanged emails with David this week, and he told me that it would be another 25 days before is updated and corrected dials are available.
