"Updated" Vintage Daytona?

[Guest Sql_pl]

@FasTTap

It was only available for a short period of time from a TRC member ExtraExtra...

Not many of these around as far as I know.

Here are some pics of mine that now belongs to dieselpower:

too bad... I guess the price and availability of a Franken Valjoux rep is outragous, right?

Here's what jumped out at me when I saw Joshua's ad: The 19mm 571 end links, and hollow 78350 bracelet. These parts have been difficult to source in the past. The rest of the watch isn't too hot.

sorry to bring back an older thread, but just as an update to those interested -- joshua is willing to sell just the bracelet and endlinks for this watch; i've just ordered the bracelet/endlinks from him. when i receive it, i'll post with pictures to get members' opinions on how they look.

I'm curious, too. Let us know.

I wish you could still get the one with correctly-sized font.... that would be great. Oh well.

I have a watch with late valjoux 726 movement.

Hope to buy case kit from DW soon.

Also I have stems. Do I need to buy parts for this movement? Do I have to care about avalability of parts?

That 726 should drop directly into a DW VJ72 case. You will need a Tap 10 (0.9mm) stem, and maybe some case clamps. Nothing else is required. Parts are still pretty available for the 72/726...You should have no problem having it serviced in the future.

Go for it...and keep us up to date.

the endlinks from joshua's "updated" vintage daytona fit my dw daytona 6263 perfectly, as you can see from the pictures below (a full post with more pictures can be found here).

hope this is helpful
