Generally, yes. The 726 is an upgraded version of the base (V72) movement. All dimensions should be the same (unless a vendor modified the design for his own spec).

Is the V726 a GMT movement? Shoot, I can't remember all of the V72 variations. Chuck Maddox has a blog on the Valjoux variants which might be helpful. Of course, plan B is measure it and compare it to the V72, but as freddy says, these are all basically the same movement. Good luck.

I think that was the 729. The 726 was just a modified version of the 72b.

Here's the Chuck Maddox blog:

It states the 726 is an improved v72...

I wholeheartedly concur w/ freddy, the Rolex Daytona book is a MUST HAVE if you're going to pursue building a vintage Daytona. It is an incredible source of information- stuff that's hard to find anywhere else.

I own a 726 watch. Mine is non gmt.

It is a beautiful movement.

I have seen some non rolex watches with val727, prior to this I thought only daytonas carried this movement.
