Valty

I think no, as far as I know, the correct crown is the #24-700 for screwed pushers, or #24-600 for pump pushers. Thank for all the comments guys :)

Thank you very much guys I have to admit I was a bit slacker

If anyone can confirm before I buy this endlinks, would be great

I have specified the other parts on my cases used just for the information of couse My objective was to review the external aspects of the cases. I wasn't in know about the Phong's pushers with problems... I bet he will replace any defective part easily, considering the price he is asking...... About the price asked - nothing justifies it to me... But he seems to be the only to do this kind of work... No competition on the work, no competition on the price... And to be clear, I just like the Phong's cases. His crowns, tube, dials (especially), etc. are bad ! I just received a non-centered coronet on one of his crown recently... I just hope this thread will helps the persons who have the budget, but are hesitating in their choice In fact, it seems there is only few recent photos on his website... My 1665 case I received is not the same pictured... Same for my 6265 case... About the Phong's 6239/41 cases, there is a lot of batches... I have seen good batches... and very wrong cases !!! The better is to ask him photos of the case he will send, before ordering :) And always compare the photos to the gen case !!! He is taking good photos on demand !

Thank you very much :)

DW is good for the price, I agree The initial order of this thread is a comparison to the gen case My cases are designed for v72(6)

555's will not fil 78360

Hello RWG, All is in the title ! What are my options for the endlinks of a 16000 DJ case with 78360 band ? Thanks in advance !! R.

On the TW case, I'm thinking it's pushers for 16520. Can anyone confirm or infirm me that please ?

Let's go here mates

Hello RWG ! As promised few days ago, here is a little case comparison between : - On the LEFT, DW case, gen T21, DW pushers, gen crown / tube, DW case back - On the MIDDLE, TW case (origin unknown), rep T21, gen pushers, rep crown / tube, Phong case back - On the RIGHT, Phong case, gen T21, Phong's pushers, rep crown / case, Phong case back Please enjoy the photos...... My real quick conclusions : - The DW case is too fat / thick, and overall poor quality. Holes for pushers are rough & too deep. The case back is too thick. Pushers are bad quality. Holes for springbars are too small. Engraving is ridiculous (font, spacing, ...). Quality of metal is average. >>> 5/10 - The TW case (origin unknown) is a way better than DW case. Thickness is OK. Sides looks same as DW. Holes for pushers are wrong, too much deeper, abrupt too. There is a wrong "hole" for the crown - needs polishing a little. Engraving looks OK, but not gen like (too small). Lugs looks a little bigger than DW. Phong's back case for 6263 is not the same that the 6265... Holes for springbars are OK. Quality of the metal is perfect (brushed effect, etc.) >>> 8/10 - The Phong's case is by far the better case. Thickness is OK, the lugs are much thinner than the other cases. The sides looks thinner too. To me, it is a "little" too thin, but it's OK... Pushers are good quality. Holes for pushers are quite perfect. I love the brushed effect of the case back. Engraving are quite good ! Holes for springbars are OK. Quality of the metal is perfect (brushed effect, etc.) >>> 9/10 Hope you enjoyed this little review Cheers ! R.

6240's had MK0 & MK I pushers. Barely not found on the net (or expect to pay +3k€ the pair & be verrry fast). No aftermarket alternative I guess... 6263 & 6265 had the MKII (ref P301) pushers from 70 to ~75. Then, they had the MKIII / service (ref P302) pushers, from ~75 to 87 Cheers

Okay mates :-) I will do some photo comparison very soon between DW case, Taiwan case, and Phong case But trust me - the quality of Phong's job is awesome (and I don't have any actions in his business, lol) Cheers !

I have ordered my case like 6 months ago... And I found the quality pretty convincing, compared to Taiwan case I have, DW case, and photos of original case. Do you want some photos to see it better ? R.

I already said you was Phong was the "best of the best" my friend No doubts about it !

1:1 bla bla bla ... gen fully disassembled bla bla bla ... You remember ? The day the Chinese will take care about the real specs of the case... and not only the visible specs... it will be a great day for sure !!

This clearly shows : - You made an amazing comparative works Thank you very much ! - We are a way too much anal with these details - Rolex prices are indecent ! For $128, it is clearly awesome to have this level of details... PS: I do not agree with the teeth of the bezel... there are absolutely not machined the same way :)

You have this kind of insert in stock ? Very interesting !

Go for DW hands, probably the best value for the price asked. My recommendation - order 2 sets, in case you have some problems with hands (common problem) R.

Thank you very much :)

Hi Nanuq ! Thank for the reply The photos on your thread seems offline ?

Hello RWG All is in the title... I want to buy one, but, how to know if it's really gen ? :-) I've seen some NOS / packaged T39, but obviously not Superdome... Cheers ! R.

All the good reading have been said +1 guys ! About the photo with dial, bezel, and hands, Fair price will be somewhere like 3,5 - 4 k EUR, considering the condition showed But you must be prepared to buy Phong's case Note that I will maybe have a Taiwan case FS with a lower price than Phong's one in 1 or 2 months... R.

If anybody have gen 1570 tritium hands with few patina at a decent price, I will be interested too.......

You are absolutely right my friend :-) Excellent reading here about Valjoux 7xx : http://chuckmaddoxwatch.blogspot.fr/2005/12/valjoux-72-chrono-family-discussion.html Short version : Valjoux + Breguet overcoil + MicroStella = Rolex movement
