Valjoux 726r exposed after case back opening

My knowledge on this particular model of the vj72 family series is poor. I understand it will sit well in 6263/6265 case with little or no dremel work. Any thoughts from the more knowledgeable?

Thank me

Nice find. The V726 is an improved V72. Same dimensions, so it should fit any case made for a V72.

Now whether the case will require modification depends on your luck of the draw - sometimes the movement fits like a glove & sometimes it does not. It all depends on how well your particular case was machined by the factory. And since the factory has no quality control, the manufacturing 'quality' of aftermarket cases tends to vary alot. Like I said, it all depends on how lucky you are in getting a properly sized case (or not).

There are many threads that you can Search for that describe members experiences assembling Daytonas with similar movements.

Thanks, I use to deal with david wong a while back. I'm afraid to get back in touch because he's a little risky. I see these case sets on ebay going for about a grand. I understand his older version of cases, dials, hands, etc were a bit better than now. Is he still around?
