Do you have a post somewhere with specs? If it's not too rude, can I ask about how much that cost you to put together?

stunning.

also, what’s the thickness on this? I got the trusty time 6263 with 7750 so it’s insanely thick but it looks similar to your profile shot there. But I’m confused since yours looks like a hand wind. So should be thinner

thx!

Mounting a ST19 movement, thickness is close to Gen.

Indeed, and the coronet on the dial is gen.

 

[Hamsterguy67]

Around 13 mm, it's gen spec if you use a viet case, Gen daytonas use val 72/727 so will be the same thickness.

This forum is the BEST.

Things move fast here though.......so does anybody have leads/a thread/info on somebody who shoved a 72/727 movement (or any thinner movement...v23?) into a current gen Cartel 6263 from Marv (and likely needed to change case back too) to make things thinner? Or do you need to start with a thinner case since case backs and cases are tightly coupled?

Or maybe even one of the Trusty options as a possible base to mod from? FYI I have the trusty 7750 version with bleeding sub dials but nice overall (except the extreme 15-15.5mm thickness). And FYI their 12mm thick Venus movement 6263 option is no longer available. The dial is horrendous on those from pics anyway.

The new JKF daytonas are probably the best so far OOTB with the asymmetric pushers get those from any TD with the St19
