alligoat Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 I just wanted to post acouple of pics for a comparison: A gen 6238 from Interwatches Next a rep 6238 I wanted to do a comparison of the dials to see what the differences are... thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toadtorrent Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 I actually don't find the rep that bad. The coronet is off as is often the case, and the tach markings are more cramped on the rep, but overall, I find it pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted January 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 Yeh, the subdials are spread out a little further on the rep, and the lume dots are missing at 3, 6 and 9, but I agree, the dial isn't that bad. The next step would be to get DW to put the guts and dial in a 6239 case and machine a smooth bezel for it- similar to the DW 6239 w/ either the 7750 or the 7760 movement. Then you could run a gen T-21 and crown and tube w/ the assymetrical pushers and have a nice rep. Better subdial hands would also be a plus.

freddy333 Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 DW is working on a 6238 as we speak. As it is, since both watches use the same base movement (A7750), you can swap the dial from this watch onto 1 of DW's A7750-powered Daytonas & you have a very reasonable 6238 (with the all-important asymmetrical pusher layout) for not much money.

panerai153 Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 A nice DW version of this watch would be a real looker. Now if you wanted to take it a step further and have it in gold with a nice honey Alligator strap anda Rolex Gold buckle, you would have a fine dress watch, sort of like Freddy's Gold Daytona.

Arthur Man, Arthur, that would be my holy grail Since I would never spend that kind of money on a gen gold 6238, I'd love to build a rep of this watch. I tried to buy a gold Heuer Carrera V72 a year ago on ebay, figuring that was the closest I'd ever get to a gold 6238 but got beat out at the end- went for over $2600.
