dluddy Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 @Freddy Will the standard DW VJ Dial work with a 7750? Same for hands? Here is my VJ23 Powered DW 6265: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbh Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 This one came from a forum member here. The best deal I've ever run across. It has a Swiss movement that needed work and Speedy rebuilt it completly and removed the winding gears. Supposedly gen crown, crystal and pushers, although I can't verify that.

P_Diddy Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 Almost five years old- can't manually wind it any more, but keeps great time and all chrono functions perform flawlessly: is this A7750 powered then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freddy333 Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 @Freddy Will the standard DW VJ Dial work with a 7750? Same for hands? I recall that someone here said they put 1 together like that, but I cannot see how it is possible. The pinion alignments differ. A couple of years ago, I posted a comparison pic of 1 of my 7750-powered 6263s next to a gen & the primary difference between them was the location of the subdials (being closer to the outer edge of the dial on the 7750-powered version). Just found the pic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just found the pic Out of curiosity, is the presence of the red Daytona text a rep-specific feature, or was it a change in spec mid production run? I only wonder as I removed the text from my dial the other day (I felt it was a bit pale, rather than a rich red) and much prefer it without the text Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These (along with 6238s) are often referred to as pre-Daytonas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lhooq Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 Mellus: Beautiful Sky Chief! I'm still not sure what the 4/8/12 minute markings mean, though. I think the 6234 has the same on its dial. I've got a folded-link bracelet for this one, but it's much more distinctive on a Tropic: Recently, I found this 6240 listed on an Italian seller's website: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davethecat Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 I wish I had the photo skills to match how nice these two guys look. The 6265 is newly back from The Zigmeister, and started as one of Eunomians projects that I happened to luck into. It's really a beautiful watch. I never thought I'd ever move the 6263 into second place, but the SS Bezel and black face really work well together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
