Thoughts on this 6263

[JoJo35]

A very special 6263 I acquired a while ago that I'm considering selling now. Just wondering what members thoughts might be:

Too nice to part with......unless....bwahahahahahahahahahahaha, unless you know of a rare bird to replace it with.

Were it me, I would hang onto it & look/wait for a better dial, subdial hands (they look weird) & insert (the insert appears to be damaged around 3 o'clock). Possibly, also replace the crystal with a new beveled T21. The movement looks beautiful (hopefully, its internal condition matches its outward appearance). Why are you considering selling it?

[JoJo35]

Thanks for your input guys. There's lots of gen parts in this one, including a gen dome Tropic 21, and pushers/crown (not to mention other special parts ). I have a gen black dial for it, and gen hands too.

I'm considering another rare gen piece, so my reps are all going to be parted out

If you have a gen dial/handset, why are they not installed? And, once installed, why in the world would you ever consider selling it? I mean, the only thing better than a nearly gen PN is an all-gen PN ........& what you have (with the gen dial/handset) would be more than close enough to my way of thinking. How could you possibly trade up from that? What are you trading it for? A Patek 3974? That is about the only place to go when you reach this level.

What are you doing JoJo, hanging around with John Mayer these days

[JoJo35]

Basically, I shelved this project after I bought my gen 6263. Now I'm after something else

Justasgood... shhh... quiet!!!!

[gplracer]

JoJo what is the story behind this watch?

[JoJo35]

PS: Here's a thread I started a couple years ago about this watch. I ended up buying it soon after I posted that thread, and then just by chance, along came the opportunity to buy a gorgeous gen 6263 that I couldn't pass up. I was still in the "gathering" phase of this project when I bought the gen.

[Ahky]

I see you're a new member, welcome aboard! Do you have any idea how much something like this cost?

[JohnCraig]

I do ... and worth every penny. (and then some)

And come to think of it, more than a gen did when first introduced

And I will re - ask (a'la Freddy333) why are the dial and hands not installed?

You must have something reallllllllllly great lined up.
