  1. Following Sogeha's suggestion, I am starting a fresh thread for my latest project
     
    Specs
    Movement: a V72 with broken mainspring but, very clean. I had to strip most of the chrono parts to replace the mainspring which I got from the bay. Parts cleaned and oiled.

    Case: A nice 6263 case for V72. The case shape needed to be modified for the smooth bezel of 6238. The bezel was again custom-made for this project.

    Dial: From Phong (very expensive!)
    The dial arrived had the coronet way too low. Also it looked a bit large. So I sourced a gen 18k WG coronet and replaced the phong coronet. Hands are all from phong - his hands are cool.

    Gen on the right. The color difference is visible.

    Crystal/crown/bracelet: GEN!
    In addition to the gen coronet, I got gen crystal, bracelet and crown for this project.

    I think there's a big difference to the 6263 Albino. See below the 6263 Albino. Different Hands and most importantly Different Sub-dials. Compared to the 6239, the sub-dials on the 6263 albino much more recessed and of a different style. The 6239 sub-dials transition much more smoothly to the rest of the dial surface. On the 6263 albino there is almost a "step" between dial and sub-dial. 
    I personally find the 6239 much more elegant and much more unique (compared to other Daytonas of that period). In my opinion: The 6239 is a work of art, the 6263 is a prototype. The screw-down pushers, the black bezel and the blue hands create too big of a distraction from the albino dial (while drawing too much attention to the watch itself). It's like wearing a Purple Shirt and a High School Graduation Ring to a fine italian blue/gray tailor made suit.
