Thought I'd ask again... I can't find a Cartel 39mm gold daytona anywhere. Any tips or direction?
Ok. I was going by the first page of this thread based on his reviews...
Cartel 39mm
-Cartel created the new 39mm version with correct spacing for subdial
-Runs reliable ST19 movement
-Incorrect size, but very good dial layout
-Good rep if you just want to wear it and go - no modding, a cool $250 and you're home free.

The gold one he has isn't a Cartel is what I am saying, I don't think they have full gold plated cartels. His review is just a listing of the choices you have for vintage daytonas in general, not necessarily connected to his stash of daytonas in the pictures.
This has nothing to do with a gold Daytona...that's how you build one. You can also get one and gold plate it.
Yodog is right that is a DW and you can't buy them they're extremely rare especially in gold

Ok. That's all I was asking. Was wanting a vintage gold Daytona in 39mm.
I don't want the one you have. Was just asking if there were any in the larger size.
You've answered my question.
Thank you.

No there is no such thing. Just buy a modern Daytona from BP / JF in gold

Best of luck! Just buy a big one and gold plate it lol

[MENTION=109813]TheSociety[/MENTION] Thank you for the bezel! Once I finish up my 7032 (replacement bezel is in hand today) I'll start tearing into the Cosmograph.
Quick question: The old DW dials are the ones to have, but since they no longer exist, where should I look for a 1970 dial? I'm thinking silver with black sub dials, but black with silver sub dials is cool too. I'll replace the coronet if needed too. (I'm using a Cartel case if that impacts the choices)
Thanks again brother!

No problem bro. I actually have a old school DW black dial with silver subdials if you need it.

I may... Is it a "daytona" dial or just plain "Cosmograph"? I prefer the no-daytona, but I think in 1970 most, if not all, were "daytona" printed.
FYI I'm keying in on 1970 because I have a gen bracelet in hand. And it's a good year.
I'm seriously addicted to his movement!

Haha you're into the small details like me! This is what I have. It's been ages to "rust" a little like a gen I've seen. But that can easily be removed

Damn, that IS a nice dial. Coronet swap and go!
Feet are for the V72? Or something else?
Oh, and I thought you might know, how is sub dial spacing on the Valjoux 7736? Would that work in lieu of a Valjoux 72?
I'll hook you up for a good price if you want it since I'm already shipping you the bezel lol.
The Valjoux 7736 won't work. You will need a v72 or v727, I've seen the v23 works as well but you won't get working subdial at 6. I would stick to a v72 or v727

I'm always on the lookout for a "reasonably" priced 72... But so is the rest of the free world...
Is the issue with the 7736 the subdial spacing? As much as I hate dial dots, to save a grand or more it seems viable in this case. I am aware of the Valjoux 23 but if I'm going that far, I'd like the 12-hour register to work as well. I'm going to see if I can find the specs on the two movements. I have a shit-ton of old movement workshop manuals I have collected, so I might already have the answer in my hard drive!
PM me regarding the dial. I'm eyeing a silver daytona text one on the bay now. It looks pretty damn nice but it's $350 or so if I recall (which is about 1/10 the cost of a service dial if you find one).
