So much easier to read. Maybe it's because a lot of Daytona owners don't really use or need a chronograph.

JChow · 5 January 2015, 03:48 AM

but has anybody heard from DHH lately?

Would love to source one of his custom bezels.

Thanks!

dhh · 5 January 2015, 04:23 AM

yes - I'm alive . just doing other things with my family and a bit tainted after Steve Mullholland stole my DRSD - but at least he is in prison now.

PM me - I have 20 bezels in a drawer.

GolfPunk · 5 January 2015, 05:22 AM

I think they all look really good. Remember, there's only people on this forum that will ever call a modified watch a 'frankenwatch' and who cares about that??

I'm considering having my panda dial 116509 bezel DLC coated and the engravings in ceramic white:

Sorry to hear that! I don't have a Daytona (yet) but when I can finally get one after saving for a while, I would love to have you do a conversion with black dial for me! This looks amazing. PM me so I know more or less how much you charge and what exactly you do as to keep it all original... Thanks!

Scholar · 7 January 2015, 05:16 AM

This is sad in a way; it reminds one that, despite the great new movement, the design of the Daytona fell off a cliff when it went bling and still has nothing on the older ones!

psv · 7 January 2015, 06:36 AM

I would buy one of these.

monEmakindave · 25 January 2015, 02:54 PM

/\. X2. Me too!

Nycturbovr6 · 25 January 2015, 03:14 PM

I like it! Looks very nice

My daytona is now with Titan Black getting the original white gold Rolex bezel DLC coated in a very high gloss black with silver coloured engravings (to resemble the modern Rolex ceramic bezels). Some will love it others will hate it due to not liking mods but it remains 100% Rolex with NO aftermarket parts.

I'll post an update in a couple of weeks when I get it back!

Looking forward to the result!

landroverking · 26 January 2015, 01:15 AM

I would put it at the top of my list of must have Daytonas.

Lt Dan · 1 February 2015, 11:32 AM

Hey Doug, I would love to have you convert my SS Daytona to the one you did with the white dial. I know its a hobby for you so just let me know if you have the time. Check your pm thanks!

Richard

red1108nyc · 1 February 2015, 11:35 AM

Looking forward to a new SIHH announcement with something close please!

Kudos for your project and many thanks for sharing..

I'm pretty sure a visit to the eye doctor is in store for you

That's one sweet looking watch

!!!! If Rolex actually made it, they couldn't make enough of them

breitlings · 2 February 2015, 03:51 AM

Is there anyway to also lume the acrylic tachymeter scale? And/or have you thought about doing any GMTs? A white face GMT with Lume Acrylic/sapphire 24-hour bezel is something I would buy.

lamnyc · 2 February 2015, 03:54 AM

Fantastic piece of work.

raclaims · 7 March 2015, 07:51 AM

It's funny...I have no problem modifying a very expensive car but can't bring myself to do it to a $12k watch....strange!

TudorSnowflake · 7 March 2015, 03:08 PM

So you made a counterfeit?

OneEyedHito · 22 August 2015, 11:50 AM

Resurrection and Frankenstein in one thread, funny!

DHH I tried to PM you but it looks like alot of others have too, it is telling me your inbox is stuffed with requests for Black Bezels. Can you PM me a PP price at your next availability?
Thanks in advance!

psv · 24 August 2015, 03:21 AM

I'd happily buy a beze as well.

dabbotjordan · 24 August 2015, 04:08 AM

If you ever wanna sell it please PM me!
