got it from a member over here.

It is a DW Dial with a gen Rolex crown

Ohne Titel by Micky Aldridge

This is the dial I got. To me it looks beautiful. What do you think?

Ordred a Athaya 700 crown and a crystal from clark. Probably should get new hands too

yes, my mistake, for the 6263 I need a 7mm crown

athaya offers 700 and 702 crowns? What is the difference? the 702 has dots and the 700 not? what else?

got a great dial and the base watch until now...

I was looking for a crown... reference guide is saying oyster twinlock 600..

Kindda having trouble finding a good replica option or a decent priced NOS/Used Gen...

Any suggestions? I am ready to pay 100-150 USD for crown+tube.
(can I just use any 6mm rolex crown with the line under the crown?) sorry about this noob question

No Daytona print, but different pushers.

I know about this, but not a fan of the cartel Dials...

For me the Dial is almost the most important Piece of the Watch...As it is the face, everyone can see

Beware phong has two different quality dials, high end ones are 700-750 USD

 

Thanks, but 700-750 is way more than im willing to pay... It is more or less my budget for this watch

I have a no Daytona ROC dial from DW's first batch if you're interested....

 

 sent you a PM about it.

Any oppinions about the pushers? Do i need to replace the cartel ones?

i will use the St-19 Model from the Cartel and get the hand fixxed.

DW is really gone right?

Never heard of phongs ebay store, but will check this out, thanks Tomhorn

Hi

I am planing to build a Vintage Daytona Fap 6263

Would like to show my idea and would be happy about any inputs from you Guys

this is how it should look in the End:

Base Watch will be a Cartel 6263 like this: http://www.torobravo2015.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=39_214&product_id=1048

Crown + Tube from Athaya

Dial from Phong: (it is the only dial I found without the daytona Writing on it... even tough it is quite expensive 450 USD) other options are very welcome!

To install the Dial I will use this way: http://www.repgeek.com/showthread.php?t=145508&highlight=MOD+6263+CARTEL+GEN+DIAL

So what do you think about my plans? Do I need to replace the pushers too? Any benefits of it?

Bezel replacement? (Phong charges 350-450 USD... too much for my budget)

Any help is greatly appreciated

Have a great Weekend

what a great watch! Well done

Hi all

I am planing to buy a Montauk and a white Rubber Strap.

Searched Ebay for a white Rubber Strap, didnt find one. Neither I found from replica dealers

So where could I get one? AP Boutique? (I have one near my house)

Does anyone know how much a rubber strap is (roughly)

thanks

Phil

yes thats true.. it looks a bit strange. but the surrounding of the DW is black which wasnt on the first versions of the Safari.

The last owner said he bought it half a year ago and paid 430 euros for it.

quality is good I think. Will open to check the movement but I dont have a clue what else should be in it.

I now found an AP Diver Crown and will try to install this one.

little update:

I found an offer for an AP Diver Crown.

will this one fit??

It is a second at 12 modell.

Well I asked two trusted dealers and they say no,because I didnt buy the watch from them. Well I will never buy a watch from them in future.

I got the watch from a privat sale and even if the seller got the watch from these two they didnt want to sell me the crown

Still hope somebody here has a spare crown or Mary can help me out. She has always been great soo far.

Hi folks

I got my AP safari today,which I really love

I wore it tonight to the bar and now I lost the rubber thing around the crown It really makes me feel sad. As I love this watch so much and now it just looks stupid without the black rubberthing around the crown..

here is a pic:

does anyone know where I can get these rubber thing??? anyone has a sparepart? I pay $$$

mine when I was offroading in France.

it is a 2006 Range Rover

4.2L Supercharged with 400 HP

fast but thirsty

the worst is: the buyer even gave a good feedback

Hi

Francisco used to do graphite treatment but since its not working for all the watches i guess he is not doing it anymore, but you should ask him.

About bricciola he was saying that in his opinion DLC coating doesn't work (so i guess he doesn't do it as well) however avitt did it and his watches are working great last time i heard from him. Bricciola i think still does the graphite treatment but you should inquire them about these mods...

regards

Hugo

I dont need a graphite treatment,that I can do by myself.

I need just a company or a person where I can ship the main plate for a DLC coating..

regards

Hugi

Nice La Martina Poloshirt!! gen or rep?

Thanks for sharing the pic's!

I can dissasemble the watch,but then who can do the coating for me? Are there any companies in Europe or in the States?

thanks

I own a Hublot and greased the O-rings at the pushers. I did it by myself and Im not a professional..

Had a cheap thing to try the waterproofing.. It worked.. I started to build my own better tester and test again

But if you want a chrono watch to go for a swimm you better take one with screw down pushers!!

I have some screws here.. contact me if you're interested..
