The dial is a 7750 from trusty time

Does that mean you had to cut the feet and trim the diameter of the dial?

I'm also building a similar franken right now, and that might be a bit above my skill level...

Also, who painted your dial red? Thanks!

Yes, the dial had to be reduced and the feet had to be cut.

I miswrote before, i meant to say that the hands were hand painted, in order to match the color of the red of the dial!

Thanks a lot for the quick answer.

Did you mod it yourself, or did you use a modder from rwi?

I'm EU based.

I asked a modder who used to work here some time ago, but he was not "official". His name is Merlix, but there are plenty of EU based watchsmiths here on RWI who can mod daytonas, like Domi, JD, Harleysta etc...

Inspiring and reassuring! Beautiful build mate!

My project is to build a 116509 blue dial with watchparts.com bezel and I am currently trying to source a 7750 dial m2m. Didn’t even occur to me I could try my TD....

Sorry, I meant it's a real rubber b. With imitation I meant the leather part.
