How to build a Frankenwatch

Start with a dial:

"You can either use this dial as a replacement part for your current Daytona or for your own self-made 6263."

From the look of the "best" subdials, I could put that on just about any watch & VIOLA, instant Daytona.
Not sure about the hands that come with those subdials.

here is my favorite Franken Daytona - my own 116520 with dial & hands from 116519 (Of course the original white dial and hand set is carefully stored ;-)

Sorry there is only one proper real Daytona, the rest are only pretenders.
