I have been working on button mods with my watch smith I think it is all set, cousins P302 fitted to cartell. Also St19 fitted into viet case with working reset function.Hello,
This is a great thread about it:
Daytona P302 pushers - CousinsUK or Ofrei?
Hi Guys, I have read from a few posts about highly modded st19 cartel based 6263/6265 daytona, that a pair of high quality/ identical to gen P302 MK3 pushers were used. They were also described as swiss made and of great quality, exactly like gen and much cheaper than Phong's. I did some...forum.replica-watch.info
I looked everywhere for someone who could do the job and I couldn't find anyone. I even thought about doing it myself, but I didn't want to ruin the watch. So reading this tread and understanding the logic of the process, I took the watch and the necessary tools to a good jeweler, they do all kinds of meticulous work, so I assumed it would be an easy task, and it was.
Probably will post some pix later

Definitely not an easy job , anyway can you kindly post the cousins link related to P302 , thanks
Hey mate, take a look here:
You need a special tool for the case to drill bigger holes in the case and install those pushers, @m1994 knows about it.
The left one is my cartel 6265 that has the Cousins p302 installed.Hey mate, take a look here:

I’ve been away for a while, as I’ve been focused on acquiring Gen watches lately, however, my passion for Daytonas remains strong.
A few months ago, I bought my first Viet build Daytona, and I’ve enjoyed it immensely. The differences with a Cartel are quite noticeable, but after making numerous modifications to my Cartels, the gap isn’t as significant as it seems. Working on the case and installing aftermarket pushers has minimized the differences. I would like to do a detailed comparison between the two, but I believe there are already several comparisons in the forum. Instead, I’ll share photos of both; can you guess which is which?

Actually, everything was made by Kuared. But the bracelet is 7835 gen. He is really trustworthy and nice. 100% recommend

Not an expert I'll defer to the vintage sections. From what I heard MinhQ is the best of the best but very expensive while Kuared is also great but better priced. All have flaws if I remeber what I read so you have to pick your poison.
