Freddy please........

Get me some good advice to improve again my Daytona.......

[freddy333]

I think it looks great now.

However, it still contains some flaws - the dial & bezel insert are the most obvious. The dial's fonts are slightly off (most aftermarket dials get the O in ROLEX wrong). You will need to do some gen research on your own to compare between gen vs rep dials. The most obvious sin of the insert is the 110 (the numbers are too far apart - correct on top, typical aftermarket insert on bottom)

Otherwise, I fit modern gen T21 crystals (this gives the Daytona a jewel-like quality that cannot be matched by any other crystal, including vintage gen T21s) & 7835/357 folded link bracelets to all of my 62xx Daytonas.

Thank you Freddy!

really nice dial LHOOQ !

Thanks! DW still sells a few good dials, if you're willing to wait a few months to get them.

I need one of these. I held onto a gen for 24 hours and it was something else. Absolutely gorgeous.

have you looked on ebay? You can buy any kind of strap and also Rolex stainless steel or gold buckles for fairly cheap

Since we've established that this isn't a purely 6263 thread...

[alligoat]

There's something I love about a 6239- those pushers, the simple dial and that bracelet all look beautiful LH!
