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
I where under the impression that you could put a bracelet on a 116519 case. Is the above both from CF?If you're after a bracelet or strap build.
This is a 116509 vs 116519 case. Note the difference in lug hole placement.
Any news on this dial bud?In the past i had bought these.
These have pretty good quality and font, but not cheap unfortnually and not easy to find
eric over at geek time said the factory wouldnt sell him parts individually + i saw that tungsten 116519 case in the other forum that interests me!
sounds good, curious to see how much theyll charge just for case and bezelIll keep you updated here as well
I found a near perfect dial, don’t think it’s going to get any better then this.
Ill order one, and give you guys a mini review when it shows up

since you're going for the strap.. one huge, HUGE tip i can offer is make sure the strap is made/done by someone who knows the dial and can match the hue/turqoise exactly. it makes a huge difference in its presentation.
look at my own beach.. this was right after it was finished.
I ruined the strap so i had to get a replacement and well.. it doesn't quite, "match up".. i can most definitely tell the difference.
i'm not sure if the person who built my beach knew the one who made the strap but basically i can't get it now because they're retired
so i have to "settle" for this replacement strap i sourced off of italy. maybe in time the turqoise would fade to match the dial eventually.. maybe. there's a reason you seldom see the Beachtona and that's cuz it's hard to match up all the pieces required to make the recipe work.
I wasn't going to say nothingOn closer examination the hourmarkers are to big. X is touching the subdial
Ill keep looking
but i was thinking, "he doesn't see how chunky those are?" I wasn't going to say nothing
It took me a minuteI was just happy finally finding a dial without marble/stone effect
