I had the same dial from MQ and it was eating at me so I sent it back for a perfect one. Crazy the things we notice.

I was referring to Robert Marron. I appreciate the existence of MQ!!!

I was starting to think I had sent MQ back a rare gem!!! How do these guys manage to stick around??

I'm sure a 6262 can be found with a black insert...

Funny thing about this photo. If you look closely at the dial, the final "A" in Daytona seems to curve in too close to the subdial. I received this identical dial from MQ and returned it because it looks crooked. I'm going to go home and flip through my Daytona book. This is interesting...

I'm wondering if a white / ivory 3 color Newman exotic dial ever existed it the 6262? Thanks

i'm getting a late start! Cromag, thanks for the info. Checking out craigslist and local music stores.

Unfortunately, I purchased this case last year from a fellow member here. I've been gathering the parts!!!! No way to deal with DW at the moment. Interesting. Will he need the movement? I'm not crazy about sending my parts back to Asia!!

I had hoped to complete my 6239 build with Newman exotic dial. Unfortunately, my DW 6239 case needs some work to accept a V72. To be clear, this was a v72 case and not a 7750 case. The $80000 question is , who can do this work now that The Zigmeister has retired? I would hate to get into another Phong case here. I was really hoping the "cheaper" DW would do the trick. Thanks for any assistance...

I am thinking of picking this hobby up. Anyone have any intro courses, music sheets, etc... Any decent source of info? The net is full of videos, etc but want to learn to play correctly. Thanks

If I wind it, it holds for 2 days but it won't auto-wind.

Which means.... easy fix?

So, i took a look under the hood. It looks like my rotor is just spinning freely. I turned it clockwise a few times and then it basically unspun itself.

Thanks for the input gentlemen.

Thanks for this. Amazing collection.

Yes. It's basically turned into a manual wind.

i have a swiss 2836 where the watch functions perfectly when wound. However, it does not auto-wind and loses its charge after about 2 days. Is this an easy fix? Could something be lose in there? Thanks

My guess... a franken Zenith Daytona.

Full insurance and declare it for what it is - a $5,000 watch!!

I'd love to go but no chance in hell I can make it back "home!"

PB has a section over on Repgeek. Maybe I've been lucky or the fact that I am a repeat customer. I've always been very happy.

In the USA, I have used both Vac and PBdad. My preference is PBdad. BK also used PB exclusively for his super-lume sub contracting work.

Beautiful. I remember the before...

i think Ubi is right. The "S" in Submariner is the giveaway (besides the non-maxi markers) They just don't make those flat "S" anymore.
