Nice!

I see your 6263 phong Franken and raise you a 6265 phong franken

Good to hear! You did the right thing

Thanks!

Recently acquired frankens, only a cell phone shot, but my next purchase will be a proper camera.

Very bleached

I love how it looks diff depending on the lighting

Looks a bit tropical in this light..

Lol, he's special!

Thanks everyone, I think phong messes with me sometimes lol I bought hands that were supposed to be right but they're grey instead of black. I'm going gen and never looking back.

Tabularasa, looking good!! I was close to picking that one up. Grrr, lol Stunning!

6265 again

You can't do it yourself. Send it or give it to a watchmaker. It involves having the right tools and knowhow to remove the old tube, replace it with gen, and swap the stem from the old crown to the new one. You would mess it up just like a lot off us would it would save you a headache and money lost in damaged parts to just send it in.

Sigma

I fully agree this is the dial by itself.. I say your right and the case needs some extra vintigizing

Better pic of my phong, the one before was what he sent me before I bought it.. mine seems slightly thinner..

Finally got my phong 6265 back with gen sigma dial installed. Looks great but I think ill swap in some gen hands one of these days.

Bunch of guys can do that. Depends on who you feel comfortable sending it to. Zigmeister can do it he's in canada, spinmaster can too I think, he's in Singapore. Maybe others can tell you someone in the eu who can do that. I've heard of a guy in Spain who can do it just not sure his name.

Hmm well well, looks like he's not perfect after all! Seems like you're right, I might have mine reshaped at this point as well.

This is my phong case, looks like maybe he does have diff ones..

Weird, my phong case is identical to gen. Unless its a 6238/9 case in which case you would be correct. His 6263/5 case is dead on.

Stands for Maria's best watches, refers to a shop in Thailand that had some pretty nice reps that would accept gen parts. I'm pretty sure you cant get these anymore. Some say narika can source them but the good ones were all sold years ago. They come up in the sales area sometimes.
