I definitely need a Daytona!


[emoji632]

You do!

Those subdials are hypnotic! Another beauty from your stable of Daytona!

Thanks bro! I know what you mean! Sometimes I just stare at the subdials lol the details are great on the dial. One of rolexs best designs imho.


Want to Buy: Vintage DW Daytona and Franken / Phong Daytona 6263, 62xx, etc!

Got on a roll to build a parts drawer special today. We have all been building some beautiful NOS looking gilts dial lately. Heres my OOS version looking like its been pieced together with whatever could be found for a repair during the last 56 years...

[MENTION=108254]Bart Cordell[/MENTION] it is an old Silex I have had for a long time Bart. I did the lug holes and bevels as well as the Aythaya Brevet (v1). The bezel I heat treated to bring up the brassy color.

Nice job !
I thought Yuki because the Athaya V1 crown is very similar.

I drew an Explorer but never applied on dial plate.
The HR Explorer dial is very nice. Look at kime 6200 build on HF.
