Hi all,
Few years ago I bought this beautiful timepiece in Puerto Rico. I need to admit I'm not fan of chronos (reason I don't own a Daytona) but the price was ridiculous. Why? Because the watch had no pushers, no strap, no service, hands bad positioned...
After few months (a lot) I found the pushers (screwed now but not tightened yet), a nice strap and a NOS CV2113 dial!!
Now I have all the pieces together and hope I can start working on it very soon!!
Need to adjust the movement, screw and adjust the pushers, install the new dial, fix hands, polish a bit, fit the deployment clasp and mount the strap between the lugs!!
Note: The original CV2113 has the hands in white (except hour and minute ones) and the date disk in black. Been thinking to find those pieces too but finally I'll keep the silver hands and the white disk. This way is MY personalized Carrera!!
What do you think? Do you like the idea or better the old dial??
Thanks in advance for your opinions.
Have a nice day!

Wow Carlos! You are an artist! If I had your skills I would change dials once or twice a year. It would be awesome if you could make it a Panda. Please show more pics! Saludos!!!!

Hi Alex!! Thanks!! To make it a panda dial would be a miracle! If I'm not wrong these two are the only existing dials for this case.
I'll post pics during the process but cannot promise when, now I'm very busy and will move to France in November!
Hope more updates soon!! Cheers!

Why not? It looks very well and it's a great story behind what is now an individualized piece. Very cool.

That's a good looking watch! I think I have a slight preference for the white dial, but both are great. I look forward to see it when you're finished.

Thanks! Yes is a story behind but a mistery too. How a watch like this finishes in so bad conditions??

Thanks! I love both dials but the white one has the silver ring that not convinces me much. Is like a sticker around. The black dial is superb IMO.
Hope I will be able to work on it soon. Pics will be uploaded!! Cheers.

In this pic you can see an original CV2113. White hands and black date disk. Mine will be with silver hands, white date disk and white stitched perforated strap.
