I used an aftermarket tube with a genuine crown. To fit a gen or gen-sized crystal, you'll need to sand the inner diameter of the bezel by around 0.2-0.3mm, if I recall correctly.

Well, I mess up the keyless works everytime so I won't be modding anything myself.

Would you kindly advise which aftermarket tube you bought?

Maybe after I finished the 1675 Franken project, I may have time and money to search parts for the 6263.

Thanks a lot for the info guys

Wow. Need to know what strap that is mate

Glad you like it

Strap is an alligator strap from Xerfa <---- click me.

Trusted dealer on RWG1.1

Great Dealer, not exactly what you call cheap though

no comments.

I am not a good specialist, but what I feel, at my level of knowledge, is that right now no one maker offers an accurate 5512/13 thin case with correct markings and correct specs to fit gen parts.

And put money in NDT or Phong cases is just... feed scammers,

sorry,

I go to bed

Well, I will just wear the 1675 for some time

Shot them a while ago.....along with the 6263 photos.

One of the early H-factory 005K.

I bought it from Solky, who is way to hipster to wear a clean looking watch like the 005

It has been my daily beater, since the PO is at Ska's place for modding.

It's waterproof to 6bar......thanks to Finedd

Lume is amazing

Thanks for looking

Feedback welcome

Cheers

Congrats, Akira! It's a beautiful example!

If you're thinking about upgrades, I would start with a genuine Tropic 21. Then follow that up with a different bracelet: Even a Yuki 7835 would be a big improvement over DW's. (The clasp on the coronet ruins my day.) Also, a genuine 703 crown would make the whole watch look and feel much better.

Does a gen 21 plexi and gen 703 crown fit without modification?

Today I finally found the time to upload the pics I made from my Daytona 6263.

It's a DW Val23 version I bought off Silverspeed.

Beautiful watch and comfortable size

I ain't the best photographer and don't have the best cam or equipment unfortunately .....

......but I'm quite happy with the results Well, at least with some shots.

Feedback welcome

Thanks for looking

I was just wondering if it's a good basewatch...

Thanks for your answer mate

Hey guys.

I found this 5512 on Trustys website.

It says 11.5mm thickness and the CG's look not that short and stumpy to me.

What do you guys think?

Awesome, for roughly $70 it looks even greater.

Exactly what I need to do myself.

I want a cheap vintage sub, modding myself, just going for the looks and less for the accuracy.

Love the built

I managed to buy a genuine crown/tube for a good price

rsea is also a trusted dealer for his vintage PAM's on RWG1.1....and he's fantastic!

Awesome builts for reasonable prices IMO.

Phew......Drama queen

Hi guys

will Ofrei's aftermarket tube fit a gen crown?

Genuine 5.3mm Crown and tube:

Thanks for your help

Hello folks,

today several parts arrived.

WSO bezel assembly + insert.

Genuine pepsi insert.

Clarks 25-116 tropic plexi.

Genuine 25-116 tropic plexi.

Genuine Mark I dial.

Pic of the lot:

Inserts compared, gen insert looks much better, very [censored] up but I like the look.

Nicely faded.

Check the differents on the 4's and 14's

Crystals in comparison. Gen on the left, Clarks in the middle, 1655 plexi on the right.

With bezel construction

Case

Flattened caseback

Dial, came very badly packed! Tritium mostly toweled off. Scratch at 12'

Will send it to Finedd for refinish.

Last part I need to wait for is a gen crown/tube.

Now I have to figure out how to make the gen crystal fit the bezel construction.

Crystal is to wide for the case, and to wide for the inner crystal holder. So need to sand it off a bit I guess.

Thanks for looking

Akira

This looks like the QC picture from Silix $29,99 Deal

http://www.replica-watches-guide.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=17040&st=0&gopid=267015&#entry267015

I have been searching for one for a short time now and finally someone said they had one for sale. But since I am new to this, here are the pic's and I let the experts decide. Any thoughts and help is welcomed before I spend money on something that isn't even close to what I am looking for.

If you don't know what a SSD V2 should look like, why bother buying one?

John, I've always been sure Baldrick was your alias account! This makes you TKK then doesn't it?

Bump

Hello again.

Will a gen 6mm crown/tube fit the 1655 case?

Thanks

I can quote RA on this one:

Or try to find a gen V72/727 and a gen dial - which will be a fake - I am not jocking.

Check out his post.

Great stuff

6263 on RWG1.1

With the bezel set I have you will just need the bezel insert

Mate you got PM

Bump

So I thought I keep this thread update.

I bought so far

a cartel 1655 with Asia 2813

this gen Mark I dial :

GMT Hands to fit the DG movement

Clarks crystal (maybe a gen crystal later)

Clarks 116 on ebay

My question now is.

What kind of bezel construction do I need?

FxrAndy has the bezel ring and tension spring.

Inside of the crystal ring is 30.33mm

Do I need something else besides the insert?

Cheers

Akira

I have the same watch, stunning piece!
