I got a Case set with Dial, Hands, bracelet parts.

After inspection of the Set, I noticed that only the Case, Dial and Hands where usable.

But also the Case needs work. Installed Plexi is not really usable, also the crown tube must replaced .

I reshaped the Case a bit, installed a gen Tube and drilled the Lugholes to 1,2mm.

I ordered a Gen Valljoux 7750 that is not arrived yet.

To get a feeling how it looks I put it together for a Test

I also got a nice Italian 78360 bracelet
from an RWI Member.

Is this the set they sell on Ebay?

Can I pay you to make me one too?

Do you know if I could use that dial and use a Daytona case and a 7750?

Not interested in authenticity as much as having that look (and sapphire would be nice too)

@tribal , might I ask where you sourced your case kit?
There is an Italian guy that sells them through eBay, I have his WhatsApp as I was discussing purchasing a built 79170 from him but ultimately he could only supply the case kit and I am not skilled enough to do the build myself. If you want, PM me and I can contact the guy to see if hes happy me sharing his details to you :)

if you could put a 7754 and a 24h/24click bezel in this thing it would be a perfect watch :)

This one has a 7750 inside and the Bezel is non clicking on this Modell as per Gen 😉
