Daytona 6263 project

Recommended Posts

This is my third time build a project with yuki.

So I've decided to level up build a chrono rolex daytona 6263.

The serviced Valjioux 72 movement also come from yuki.

Complete watch look nice, i love the silver dial, simple, elegance and classic.

Man, what an awesome watch you got!!! I am new to this hobby. Is it possible to brake down the cost of such a project? Thanks.

I have never handled Yuki's 62xx Daytona cases, but the only real issue with DW's are their lack of engraved serial & model numbers between the lugs (the numbers are there, but they are laser etched, which is wrong for Rolex). The basic shape/dimensions of DW's middle case/caseback are nearly spot-on. Of course, QC is effectively non-existent, so variations do exist. :unsure:

DW can also supply engraved cases, but they cost considerably more than the laser etched ones.

@TBP, that's a fantastic combo with the strap. (I plan to go with a perforated racing strap on my third, and last, Daytona...a white PN.)

What is in your watch now? A mystery movement?

Freddy - you like it ... Me too. Unfortunately its a gen one.

I suspected as much. 8) But, having just discovered the existence of an accurate 7206 bracelet (available, as it turns out, for quite some time even though its existence was anything but common knowledge within RWG circles), I was hoping you had discovered a Newman dial of similar quality. An accurate Newman would be very welcome news since all of the aftermarket dials contain a number of mistakes, most egregious of these being the missing 'tail' on the minute totalizer's 3. This, for me, is the most telling identifier of all aftermarket dials & the 1 thing that never fails to make me wince
