He is 1 of the authors of the Daytona Bible, but maybe you do not like Daytonas If you are referring to this pic, then you may need a bit more flight time.........................or a GMT (it is the cockpit of my car)

Ditto.

click me

If you are neurotic (like me), only the gen xtal will do. If you are patient & willing to pay up to $200, you should be able to locate 1 on ebay or some of the gen sale forums. But if time/cost is an issue, go with Clarks.

The red Daytona is likely a myth & I have never seen anything that suggests it contains gems or is made of any metal other than steel. You might want to add a 6062 to your list

As I recall, the Cape Cod container warns against using it on unpolished surfaces. You can replace the original brushed texture with 5444-A (click pic for the link)

It never is (the end). These things happen, like clockwork, every couple of years & life always returns to normal after the smoke clears.

It has been a few years, but that address look about right. Yuki is generally very good at doing whatever he can to make the customer happy.

I may be wrong about the square 5513s. The pic in my archives turned out to be a 5512, which I believe was 1 of the 1st of the 5512 series. So the square CGs may be limited to 5512s.

vlydog - They are somewhat rare, but you occasionally see them on early 5513s also. Is this 1 yours?

For those who are new or did not follow my 2-year Phase II construction project, everything in mine (with the exception of the bezel - from JoeyB) is gen.

Ok movement for a 5512, but wrong for a 5513 (should be 1520/1530), but I won't tell if you don't. Does the caseback fit without hindering the rotor's movement?

Similar to mine But I believe the OP's came from here

Did both courses several years ago. Highly recommended.

Like gen 62xx Daytonas (powered by modified Valjoux 72Bs), the Venus is a relatively loud ticker.

Here is the rear side view of a gen GMTIIC crystal. As you can see, there is AR applied to the back of the crystal (below the cyclops) On the watch, the AR produces the famous black hole effect over the cyclops Based on my own experiments a couple of years ago, the AR is definitely applied to more than 1 surface. This is 1 of my test lenses with AR applied only to the bottom side of the crystal On the watch, the single-side AR does greatly reduce glare, but it fails to produce the black hole over the cyclops So, as Rolex states in their service literature, the AR is applied to 2 surfaces. Obviously, as you can see in my 1st pic, there is AR on the bottom side of the crystal. The question is whether that 2nd surface is the top of the crystal (below the cyclops) or the top of the cyclops (I suspect the former)?

Of course. The index markers on white Newmans are always unpainted. But they are always painted black on black Newmans My 6241

Rolex only ever offered the 6238 with 6635s or 7205s, both fitted with the same 71 ends. However, since later 6239/6241s were supplied with 7835s (fitted with either 271 or 371 ends), it would be reasonable that Rolex (or an owner) replaced a worn out 7205 with it. It all depends on how much originality figures into your scheme.

PM sent.

Maybe it is the angle, but that shot makes me nervous. In direct sunlight & with the dial covered in glare, the date window should look like a black hole on a gen xtal
