Hello ,

Anyone know if this model can be found as a replica or as a project kit?

In advance thank you ????


I searched the forum a bit but couldn't find anything specific ????

I have never seen one. There are rep dials that pop up once in a while but no watches or kits.

A few of us have discussed using a 7750 Daytona case and trying to piece one together, but it has not gone past the conceptual stage that I know of.

Build with the eBay Case kit.
But this is not Plug and Play.
The Case needs a lot of work.
Gen Parts don't fit easily, but I managed to get it right.

If you interested in a Part List here it is

Case Kit include Dial from Italia Seller.
Case must be reshaped, drilled Lugholes to 1,2mm
Countersink and retap the Tubehole to fit gen Tube.
703 Crown and Tube
Maybe better pushers if needed
25-130 Tropic but it is not a straight fit
The Rehaut.must be shaped in Diameter a bit or you thin out the Tropic.
ETA Valjoux 7750 movement or Asia.
You can ask the seller for watch hands too. ;)
The small hands must be wided a bit to fit.
You need 589 Endlinks and a good 78360 bracelet.
Hope it helps a bit.

I got Italian eBay guy's Instagram. PM if you are interested.

I want the look but don't need the authentic or the plexy. Thinking of getting a dial and using a 7750 rep Rolex case.

I asked about a group buy on dials / hands. If folks are interested let me know, any discounts would be based on quantity.

Hello everyone ,

very very interesting all that !!!

but how much does it cost to build such a watch?

I'm going to reread you all because I'm really interested, although I don't have the budget at the moment, maybe I can do it in time ...
Anyway thank you very much for your experiences

sorry for not showing me before ... I had not returned to the forum for a long time because I was looking to find another watch with a red dial, difficult to find!

Ah anyway ;(
I would have liked not to exceed € 600-650 unfortunately; (

moreover, I would like the white dial rather than the silver
