i think cleaning glue off after it has been applied onto the dial is too messy of a job. not to mention it's just too damn tiny to do a clean job. sellers who are part of the cartel like trusty still have the st19 daytonas.

matzemedia - the dial is from kuared. as for the coronet, no it's flat on the back for mine. my dial has the 2 holes though. kuared offered me to have a gen coronet or a rep coronet. i opted for the rep cause it was a little cheaper and looked much nicer imo.

Hello gentlemen,
I am new in your Daytona world. Since yesterday, I own my first four digit Daytona. It is a relative cheep 6341 from trusted times. They write it is from "no name factory".
I really like the clean look of the Paul Newman dial and the small diameter for a chronograph. But I am also addicted to modding cases - that helps me to increases the fun of a watch. So I already disassembled the watch to start studding everything in detail.

Now I am at the point where I ask myself what do I want to change to become to closer to gen. Changing the pusher, crown? Reduce the height? Change the dial to T21 or mod the shape of the case. To get the right answer, I studied this (and some other) threads, looked tons of images from chrono24 and other websites. But I'm still struggling with the answer. So, that is why I write this comment and like you to help me with this answer.

But before I can start doing anything, there are two questions I have:
  • How can I remove this modified pusher?
  • Is it correct that the old Daytona is about 15mm height? And if not, where do I have to reduce material?

Hi is it this one you got from? your bezel S is correct compare to this....

I 'am not sure. The one at the link is total different: other dial, other pusher.
The one I bought had "no name factory" in the description.
