2nd Day on my wrist:
-
Thanks to all the new posters!

D-! Thanks! I will get in touch with him!

After that beauty......you gotta change your name to KSPANERAI!

AP Roos have two diff. screws.....on the Lugs and on the strap itself that connects them to the two metal thingy! Which one do you need????
F-

Thanks everyone!
Looks great, Hike.
1 thing to be aware of with straps is that they expose the (incorrectly) laser etched (as opposed to engraved) numbering between lugs, which a bracelet keeps hidden from view.
That's why I'm so upset that someone at the USPS stole
the watch in the package that Ronin sent me, that watch have the Bracelet I planned to put on this! 
So..... which one do you like the best?
For now??? Love the new one! Next one is this:
If I could find the dial+case+pushers!

Cool DIY R-!
New Paul Newman White Dialed 6263 - 1st project of 2010!
Special thanks to Ronin!
-
Great write-up!
Thanks from another owner! -
I have always been fascinated by the older Daytonas...specially the 62xx series and the so-called Paul Newman models....
My first attempt in my quest, if you could call it that, when I started this hobby was the A7760 Version of the 6263 that Joshua carries, and it looks like this:
I didn't know about the Flat "A's" and what not, so I thought it was good enough! And then I started reading Freddy's and ubi's (both my TONA Idols - love
you guys!) postings and started to learn from them, albeit not as ANAL as them when it comes to accuracy....let's face it, I don't have there SKILLs, but I tried.....SO when martyd3 posted his Black Dial
I jump on it and build this using most of the parts from the 1st 6263 I got:
But the quest goes on..........you always have your eyes open for any scraps that comes out on the FS section.....
I've always wanted to have some Paul Newman 62xx's as part of my Daytona collection.......
Like these beauties (freeddy......Ubi, feel free to correct me on these!):
And it would be more rewarding if I build it myself from scratch.......
so......trolling the FS fora as usual....this came up from an unnamed source (feel free to call yourself, Bro!):
and found this at DW Ebay store:
and all I have to get now is a descent A7750........lo and behold, one of our brother's from Mile High City....one
and only, RONIN......(thanks my friend!) have a complete package for me to use and then some (a complete 6263 with black
dial......and this is where the story had a tragedy, when I recieved the package, the 6263 was gone....STOLEN!!! First time
that happened to me in this hobby after over a hundred watches traded, sold and bought in a span of 4 years!)
Well, at least whoever it was had no use for the movement and sent that to me plus the spare white dial and links (other thing that kills me is that RONIN sent the watch with a really nice Tona SS Bracelet......grrrrrr!), so here we go, the movement:
Waterproofing the crystal and case:
..........and I'll spare you the boring assembly pictures, just the finished product.....
TADA:
Hunky and thick A7750 based case:
but I couldn't be happier:
with it's partner:
and on the wrist:
Thanks for looking, guys!
And Ronin P-.......this one's for you! Thanks!
-
WoW!
I'm speechless! U da Man, J! Hat's off to 'ya! 
-
Didn't make it to Sunday morning, but soon.....pretty soon!
-
I'll get into an AD Shop if I'm wearing what they're not selling! So....Rolex AD...I have AP or PAM or Breitling.......
On the other hand, Torneau AD.....best bet is AP...they don't carry it!~
-
For Sat!
Have a great Weekend everyone!
-
Bad shots but you get the idea:
I like this one!
-
Dude......I got the RG screw on order and paid for......should be here Fri. next week! I'll let you know!
-
Taking a leaf out of your book today, bro
This project's going to be a winner once it actually tells time 
I've re-enameled the bezel scale since the last outing
Other than that, I'm wearing my 6200-homage
Looking good Amigo! I got another one cooking, albeit with some sad story behind it! Parts are starting to arrive, but will start the movement/dial/hands assembly today! Just waiting for the Xtal then I'm good to finish! Should be here tomorrow!
Here's where it starts!
-
Black Tona6263 today:
Happy Friday everyone!
-
Ya, Pugs.....Welcome back! We're all excited to hear your Vegas Adventure?????
-
Damn! Lots of Beauts today! RWG rocks!

Wait till you get a package with this label on it:
and broken like this:
and empty like this:
The friggin watch is GONE!
WTF!!! Just got it last nite, so me and the Seller are going nuts!
-
Man I so love the Memovox!! I was thinking of picking up a Gen from a guy I know on the Bay, but just too pricey right now!!
Today I'm going with Breit and an oldschool chrono avenger.
Sixx
Howdy frend?? Wassssssup? It's friggin cold outta here!
I don't know which one I like best, the watch on the wrist or the tattoos on the arm!

172 Tantalum
AC/Lani

You two just made my DAY! Awesome lookin watches!

Congratulations!BTW: Is that Rubberized bezel or PVD?

According to this listing, I believe the color of the hands might just be a trick of the light rather than actually painted black...
And here's one with just Oyster Perpetual on the dial...
For the price, buy both and mix and match Hey T-!
Have you ordered from Cqoute before? How was it?
Thanks, Bro!

Thanks! My original plan was a SS Bracelet, but it was stolen with the 6263 that Ronin sent me!
