Ruby has the 16520 case... and it will probably cost half of what a Phong case costs.... but as I understand it the case comes with incorrect pushers (from 4-digit Daytonas)... and the case won't accept the correct P402 pushers.  There's a bunch more on RWI about this...  There is also Kuared, a viet seller... he has 16520 cases... I believe you'll face the same pusher issues with his cases as well... but I'm not 100% sure 

Pushers look wrong for a 16520....

Yup.  The insert, or at least the pearl, are on the list of things to sort out 

Hologramet,

Thank you for the input.  Forgive me but what do you mean by "Shock absorbers are KIF"?  

Also, any thoughts on the date disc?  Every other one I have seen is white, not champagne / gold... 

Finally, any suggestions on what do do for a bracelet?  price of a gen 9315 is almost as much as I'm paying for the watch!! 

Thanks again!! 

Thanks.  That's a good read

Thanks.  Any other thoughts on this one?  I’m inclined to try and make a deal on it.  

I've found one that is reasonably priced, but I'm not sure if it's gen . The seller claims it is.  The things that seem wrong to me are -- 

*The quality of the dial is poor. I'm not sure if it's a gen that's been re-lumed or it's a rep...
*The bezel insert is a replacement and looks cheap 
*I've yet to see any Tudor sub with a gold datewheel
*The case looks like it's been polished

Please let me know your thoughts. Thanks in advance for any help!!

Very nice Daytonas you have aquired there sir! The dials are surely made on genuine Rolex dial plates fitting the v72 (those plates were dirt cheap some time ago), but I'd give it low chance that they are refinished 626x dials and about 0.0% shot of originally being PN versions. But hey, if you have provenance / facts, do tell please!

Well, as long as you didn't pay crazy premium for the dials being "gen PN" nothing wrong here. As said, fantastic watches and am very impressed you managed to get all those costly beauties at once, sounds like a dream!

+1 ^^^^^^^^^^^

Beautiful looking pieces but as I said in #10 above, no way on god's green earth that was or is a genuine BLACK 6263 PN dial.  IIRC, the last Gen Black PN 6263 that sold at auction fetched over $1M.  Makes no sense that someone in this day and age refinishes a gen black PN dial (without gobs of documentation) and then puts it on a franken / rep (albeit a nice one).  But again, nice pieces and good score.

Sorry but there is no way on God's green earth that you have a "Black Gen Tiffany Paul Newman Dial"

I have seen these cases for a few months- maybe 6 or so. With a 91.3% approval rating, the seller is kind of a gamble. You'd have to replace the crown with a Rolex crown if you were doing a 6263 build. I guess it just comes down to do you fell like gambling? Good luck and keep us posted.

Thanks.  I think I'll gamble.  I assumed I'd need to replace the crown and pushers.  l also have a Phong case so I will compare

I'm wondering if anyone has bought one of these v72 6263 6265 Cases on eBay?  

I can spot plenty wrong with the bezel / crown / pushers but I'm not well-schooled enough to know about the case itself

Seller also has 7750 cases available.
