Of course, here we go!

- DW 6240 Mystery Movement / V23 mid case, reshaped and aged
- serviced and modified authentic Valjoux 23 movement from the 1940/50s with faux hour counter at 6:00 (no glued hand to the dial like DW used to do, an actual pinion)
- Swiss made MK3 pushers
- genuine 702 crown and 7020 tube
- Ruby dial with wg genuine Singer coronet at 12:00
- Full gen steel hands set
- Ruby acrylic bezel
- genuine 72520 Oyster bracelet with 557 endlinks

I’m building a very similar build with 6263 reference and almost the same specs for Yellobird at the moment.

It’s decently a Frankenstein.

Vraiment du trèsé beau boulot, félicitations !

I'm planning a custom build of a 6263 Albino, using JKF as a base. I'll have to mod the movement to fit a Viet dial (MQ or Ruby, what's best?). Then I thought of Phong Millerighe pushers, gen T21 crystal, gen Triple lock crown and tube (even if Albino had a Twinlock crown). Does A Ruby or Phong bezel fit? Which one is the best? What about hands?
Thanks

You have a lot of work ahead (or your watchmaker). Nothing you mentioned will be an immediate fit without serious modifications to the case and the movement. Properly reshaped and machined, the JKF base can be a great value option when it's finished though.

You can purchase this one from me for a steal if you want*. Valjoux 726, gen no-dot crown, gen 7835/271 bracelet, viet dial, phong hands, mk0 pushers etc etc.

It’s not perfect. The movement needs a service, and you might want to replace the case at some point down the line, but the cost of parts would far outweigh my asking price.

*This would obviously be through a proper sales thread.
