I think the old Noob cases did this correctly? But none of the current factories do it this way AFAIK.
if we wanna be REAL period correct, there are 2 paths

1. MK1 dial, old school case (like your pic), and old style clasp
2. MK2 dial, new style case with double lugholes and new style clasp :)

yes im afraid so.... do you recommend any specific TD to buy the case and bezel from? dont want to buy another daytona before my panda delivers LOL
If you want just the parts, it depends on your relationship with the TD, I mostly deal with Jtime & Ctime.

But I would just get the whole watch, since you are only changing the dial and strap. Any CF 116519 on rubber (and steel bezel) would be a good base

If you're after a bracelet or strap build.



This is a 116509 vs 116519 case. Note the difference in lug hole placement.
I where under the impression that you could put a bracelet on a 116519 case. Is the above both from CF?

Here is a buff dial MK2. It has a weird marvel/stone effect that’s not correct, and the subdials are to big (Inner diameter)
