Hey guys. Am wanting to commission a builder to put together a franken two tone 4 or 5 digit datejust to add se vintage dressy class to my collection, just wondering who at the moment would be good to speak to about this?

If anyone reading this would be keen, here's what I'm after;

36mm 4 or 5 digit datejust (head only)

Parts I definitely want gen:
- Dial (champagne: regular, linen or tapestry with sticks or diamonds).
- bezel (yellow gold)
- crown (yellow gold)
- hands (yellow gold)

Parts that can be gen or gen-spec replica
- case
- plexi
- DW

For movement I am thinking a Swiss ETA for reliability but also a good serviced Asian clone would probably be fine.

I am probably going to put it on a leather strap.

Thanks all!

Try Tripdog. I’ve had a couple of his watches and they are very nice. He specialized in vintage watch builds. However, I’ve never seen a DJ. Made by him. Good luck.

Maybe browse thru stonep's builds. He may still have some for sale or sometimes some other members sell his builds too
