Who did you order the stem from & are you sure it is new/unused? New stems are always much longer than required & must be cut to fit. If your stem is too short, something is wrong.

Did you order the stem for a 2836-2?

As has been now said multiple times, today's crazy price will be tomorrow's bargain.

I have the white version of this dial in my '39 & I would have gotten this black 1 were it not for the off-axis layout of the minute totalizer (look at the vertical lines in each of the totalizers & you will see the difference). I have contacted the seller about this, but all of his black Newmans are printed this way All of his Newmans are also marred by slightly too-small totalizers (too much space between the totalizer & outer minute track of the dial) & incorrectly placed (fake-looking) crowns. I replaced & correctly reoriented a gen crown on my '39. Regardless of the seller, 62xx Daytona dials have always been a hit-or-miss affair. For a '63, I would probably start with DW & then check out NDT's & Phong's offerings. Most of these dials are fitted with terrible crowns. Some, especially from Phong, are so poorly made that they look like they were shaped with a chisel. On the other hand, excepting the horrid crown, a couple of Phong's dials were truly outstanding. So, if you are willing to perform a crown transplant & do not mind paying for an extra gen dial (it does not have to be a Daytona), you can end up with a quite accurate Cosmo

I do not have a 1680, but there is about a 2.5mm rise on my gen T19

Interesting, but, like the 7032, not my cup of tea, nor, as I see it, a real Ferrari.

Same again

To post media files (mp3, flv, wmv, etc), simply post the link to the file (no tags required). However, I would recommend that you test the link (by pasting it into your web browser's location box to see if it loads & runs), before posting it here.

It looks like the new editor is missing the Media icon. Let me check on this.

If you are able to see the pic I posted below this text (which is hosted on photobucket), then the problem lies with imageshack. If you cannot see the pic below, then your browser or firewall may be blocking images on rwg.cc (try viewing the page in the current version of Microsoft Internet Explorer)

It is a naturally-aged gen, which is why it looks the way it does. Great pic by the way.

Back to my beater-s

Nicely done.

Still & again

No wonder I got the pics confused (it was not me)........

vlydog - It should be the same pic, but just resized (smaller) in the forums. If the pic is actually different, then I would upload the pic to your profile again & then flush your browser's cache to be sure your browser is displaying the newly upped pic in the forums.

Obviously, B must be the gen then (I think I got some of the pics confused).

Not sure about A, but B is definitely a rep.

Mike - Avatars are now automatically resized to 90x90pixels. For best image quality, use an image editor to resize your original to 90x90px & upload it (replacing your existing avatar) again. Alternatively, you can size it larger, but keep it square (not rectangular), so the resizing will not squash or lengthen the image.

I think our wristies are nicer than those on the gen sites.
