Nice! Is that a stingray band? I have been contemplating getting a stingray band. How do you like it?

Just got my 6263 ROC back from yodog today with a new Ruby dial, subdial hands, flat S bezel, crystal, stem, and crown. One step closer to my dream watch!
That's a true beauty. Congrats on the piece, bro. Does it have the v72 movement?

Thanks for the kind words, BlackJaguar ! it's a cartel base, so it's still rocking an ST19 for now. My next step is to get the case re-shaped closer to gen-spec. A V72 will probably be on the docket in the next year or two.

Anyone know what happened to TheSociety? Haven’t seen him post in a minute and loved seeing his incredible builds.
Can anyone tell me what needs to be modded on a cartel case to be as close to gen as possible. Thanks.

Very nice setup. Did you build it your self?
I have parts for a 6263 build but I'm looking for a watchmaker who could do the build for me.

Hrmm. I’m pretty sure you all know so I figured I’d ask here.
Which crown is the correct one for vintage Daytona/Cosmographs?
I’ve seen them on 6mm, 702, and 703s. I think the 6mm one looks the best on them since the case is so small but I also think that would be a P.I.T.A to wind. 702 seems to look pretty good on them. 703s just look huge in between those pushers.
Which spring bar spec would be the correct one? 1.8mmx19mm? The lug holes def do not look like the same size as the subs or other vintage tool watches.

Compliments is very nice, and that's who I bid on first.... but
But.... it's the first and I think the last dial batch of Phong, if I can give my disinterested analysis, the diameter of the 3 subcounters results to be bigger than the original dial (I think 0, 04) and in fact from the photo the subconter hours h 15 and h 21 are almost touching the tritium, moreover the color is very white and not to the cream gold as the original one
