Finally sat down long enough for this read. Great job [MENTION=109813]TheSociety[/MENTION]! This post cuts through a lot of the sorting of bits needed to build a great Daytona.

Now, sell me that Tiffany!

First off this thread is amazing.
As someone who is worthless when it comes to modding. Do you have any recommendations for modders/buiilders to purchase a daytona from?

Right now I would say build your own. I can't imagine building for anyone because it's too much damn work! Also I don't think any Modder wants to get the parts which is the HARDEST thing. So collect the parts on the guide and send to a Modder [emoji4] that's the only advice I can give you

i don't understand that. The DW 7032 case fits a gen Crystal but the DW bezel doesn't fit the gen Crystal. The DW bezel only fits the original DW Crystal.

The bezel rides on the crystal so in my mind if the gen Crystal fits a case properly, a gen spec bezel should fit properly on the gen Crystal, no?

Let me help you understand. It FITs meaning it'll go around the bezel but it doesn't fit because it won't sit FLAT with the cartel case. See the giant gap between the two? You can modify it to sit flush but that's another $60 on top of your $270 part and yes your Modder will hate you for asking him to do this. Mine hates me haha

Note the GAP it will not sit FLUSH with the cartel case. All GEN spec bezels WILL Have this issue

My haul: 3 flat S bakelite bezels (real bakelite as oppose to most plastic rep bezels including all the expensive ones).
Each of these cost almost two cartel 6263 [emoji26]

No one and no one will [emoji17] I tried many times asking people. They won't do it. No market aside from the few of us

It's my pride and joy

That's a real shame, such a beautiful piece. I've got the guitar, I was hoping the watch was all I needed to be the next Slowhand
