Max72

Welcome back!

That was his “alterego” posting

Are these still available?

I would need 2 sets of 1.9mm and 1 set of 20mm

I'm looking for a modder to complete my 6263 project. I would prefer a US based one.

Thank you all for your help.

I recently acquired a 6263 kit that includes a converted 72 to 727 movement. The balance wheel is broken but the seller will provide a brand new one. Now, my question is: Who can perform the repair and overhaul here in the US? I'm in Chicago and maybe there's somebody near me that I'm not aware of.

One of my favorites was the one about the 'teen watch dealer', where various old timers faced the affront that some rich kid was apparently dealing huge value vintage pieces on instagram, and proceeded to character assassinate him for selling a 6202 Turnograph that nobody could actually agree was "real" or not. 

That thread was ridiculous, they murdered that kid. They just see people that are into reps as poor wannabees, guys on rep forums know a lot more of these collectors with deep pockets

Now the question is: who’s going to sell me one?

Beauty as usual....

ROLO YOU’ll have to build me something one of these days
I swear to God

Beautiful!
How much for a build like that?

That is gorgeous!!!! How much a build like this can cost?

I would buy it in a heartbeat
That's beautiful

"My " Grail watch!!!!
Absolutely amazing work!

Game, set, match. Beautiful piece.

I bought one last year and I was really disappointed with the quality, I mean, the gen ones weren't great quality either but the clasp stampings and the coronet on Yuki's were really crappy and the fact that the end links don't take the 2 mm spring bars is another drawback on the whole thing
Luckily they are in high demand and I was able to resell it

you guys are killing me, I might commit horological suicide and email Phong

Damn RWG now I want a PN....

the print though looks fuzzy, I don't know if it's the resolution of the picture or just the quality of the dial.

What's Phong's son website? I can't find it in my bookmarks

I found this

Sadly, no. That is their 1 big fail. I have never seen an aftermarket Newman dial (including the infamous 'Texas' dials) that got that correct.
If you have the courage/skill to remove/reinstall all of the index markers, find a piece of pipe with an inner circumference that matches the intersection of the minute track/dial face & sandwich the dial between a flat plate & the pipe. Use a caseback press (or similar) to press the edge of the pipe into the minute track to create the step. While you are at it, locate a dowel or solid pipe whose outer circumference matches the diameter of the subdials & press those to the same depth as the minute track, ideally, both should be ~.5~1mm. Be very careful because it is very easy to damage an expensive dial - ask me how I know.

A nice 6263 non PN would be what? 25-35k depending on condition b&p?

more or less yes, finding a good example is getting hard since collectors and dealers with big pockets are hoarding them and flipping them for higher prices

Does the minute track on MQ's dials have the step?
