Let's talk vintage Daytonas with TheSociety & Friends!

If you're in Vietnam you can visit MinhQ who has a main store in HCMC.

His shop is closed during the time I visited for 3 days

 

[Yachtmister]

and of course the deadly poison is always the best one

I checked, the quality of the dial varies a lot. Maybe Minh Buy will select better Diamonds for you. I'm not sure

 

[Yachtmister]

The left one is my cartel 6265 that has the Cousins p302 installed.

If I may ask, where did you source the dial on the right? thank you

Hey mate, unfortunately I can´t tell, because this watch is build by @kilowattore (who is the Italian pope of vintage watches and a moderator here at RWI in the sales section), but I am pretty sure he doesn´t tell his sources. The parts, the tropical dial and the bezel, are all Vietnam but I don´t know where he acquired them.

Oh thank you!! I mean, I accept that I am a nitpicker and i feel like the watch I got has a smaller subdial unlike the gen. And yours looks perfect!

Another achievement from working with my local watchmaker for months / if not years before bothered to try - we successfully put a Venus175/ST19 movement into Vietnam case, with functional chronograph start stop return function.

Still testing the reliability but it is nearly there!

Ok to do this. Click insert images. Upload the images. Then once you're done you have two options.

1. Click send to RWI
2. Select full BB code as shown and copy and paste that.

i'm planning to do the 6 oclock mod on the st19. does anyone know what size drill bit i'll need to expand the cover plate hole? would be nice to know which size bit is good instead of purchasing a few different sizes and hope for the best.
