hi all!
have any of you had any experience dealing with kuared_watch?

i have been messaging him about a oman 6263 daytona and he’s very responsive and offered to build a val 72
black dial 6263 with oman print
with bracelet for 5k roughly.
i hear he’s very respectable in the community just want a bit of an answer for sanity haha

He’s reliable but as with any viet supplier, quality of parts varies a lot, so please check the pics thoroughly!

Typically watchmakers here do the very opposite of price gouging, I have never "overspent" working with watchmakers here on RWI. But, I think you are asking the wrong people that question here. How would we know if you can build something similar for half the price?

i would not recommend working on a v72 yourself. 5k is about the right price for that watch build (assuming it has some gen parts like crystal, crown, bracelet, and high quality viet pushers and hands, and a high quality viet dial). i have a decent amount of experience and still messed my v72, chrono functions on the movement are very finicky

He's reliable indeed and very responsive, unlike some others...
With a V72 but not converted right? He also offers converted ones and they're beautiful. He even offers solid gold Daytonas but then it starts to be very expensive.

Mr. Kuared has a lot of parts available and is very kind.. the problem is to find the right parte without mistakes..
They will send you tons of pictures making more confusion than help.
Vintage watches are very difficult to replicate and if you are planning to build first of all you need to source the case and the right dial.
They have medium quality parts.. if you are going to build a V72 Daytona in my opinion you need better parts.

That is indeed true. He does send an enormous set of pictures, making it quite difficult to make a sound assessment. What's more, he tends to delete his messages later on.
