Bravo to Mr Goldberger and the charities that benefit from the sale, but what do we think of the ‘Unicorn’? Apparently the only white gold 6265 Daytona ever made. I have nothing but respect for Mr Goldberger, and I’m also fully aware of the shady practices the vintage watch world, but I was shocked when I saw the (allegedly) pre restoration pictures of the watch. I’ll leave you to draw your own conclusions.
Quote from John Goldberger:
I searched the world for the right components, sparing no expense, to restore it to its original glory.
Having most likely gone through several services at Rolex, the dial, pushers, and bezel were incorrect replacements – and in my view, not worthy of the watch. I approached the restoration with meticulous care, keeping the case, caseback, and movement entirely as purchased. I searched for an absolutely period correct dial for the year of manufacture – a stunning black ‘Sigma’ dial with radiant silver subsidiary dials. I replaced the incorrect bezel and pushers faithfully, as they should have been in 1970. Finally, I put the finishing touch on the watch, replacing its generic leather strap with a superb and very rare 18 karat white gold Rolex mesh bracelet made in the second half of the 1960s. Out of respect for one of the world’s most important wristwatches, this uncompromising approach was the only option! I can only imagine the pleasure a collector of vintage cars feels when a top restoration is completed!
I am confused. Arent the bezel and pushers supposed to be 18k wg? Then they must have been one off, so how could they be replaced?? -
i too would like more information on using Jensen for a custom order. I am looking for Sigma dials and it doesnt appear anyone makes them. If anyone knows a cource for these, please let me know!
I was hoping to make this:

Thx [mention=73322]Sogeha[/mention]
[mention=81152]aprolexlover[/mention] but it is not cheap either, I've paid under $1000 for my dial and its a minimalistic version.
Nice dial! Can I ask how was your experience with Jensen while ordering the dial? Did you provide him with renderings?

Love it!!!

Nice job!
Can I suggest looking at the hr6538 hands? They minutes hand is slightly longer and perhaps closer to gen.

There are no 1600 reps, so if you want that you need to go with a gen case. I have built two 1601 frankens that are basically all gen except the movement, but the cost was over 1k...

I mean, what is the source of the dial? It seems better than JF which would mean that this is more than a modded cartel

But what about the dial?

You can also get the valjoux 730 instead, which has the higher beat rate.
