(Slowly) working on a 6263 myself. It's a cartel version, so I guess a decent dial will fit. I have a gen bracelet with 1/70 date code for it that's nice, but I may have Mike Young restore it for me. I've been looking for a Valjoux 72 obviously, and lately, even in running (otherwise unknown) condition, they are in the $1500 range (in a watch, which gets you a stem and way to fully test before tearing into it).
Has anyone tried/used the 7736? 7733 is two register with no date; 7734 ads date; 7736 is three register... SLIGHTLY less money and symmetrical pusher location but so is the current (Asian) movement so that shouldn't be a deal breaker. It's not a *common* movement, but they are around. Dial feet locations? This was Valjoux before being absorbed by Eta so in my tiny brain I think it will work, but I'd like some other minds on the task too!
Anyone?
Crown= gen 700. Not cheap but they are out there. Tube from WO990. Pushers from WO990 as well. Totally worth the investment.
Crystal= is Clark's as good as the genuine t21? I'm keeping an eye out for a gen, as I generally always go gen on my builds but Clark's is very economical...
Finally thank you for compiling the thread! I know, first hand, how daunting these builds can be...
