tonyp1 Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 (edited) My 7750 based 6263 finally died. This is a 7750 based DW 6263 with gen crystal. I tried to remove the dial and basically destroyed it.. It was welded with glue to the movement. Ive contacted DW and it seems he is unable to supply a dial, movement, hands, feet, ect. Then I noticed on joshes site these http://www.1-pc8838.com/rldv10017-paul-newman-whiteredblack-asia-7750-chronograph-p-650.html I was wondering if it would be possible to transplant movement dial ect to my DW watch?

Did DW say why he couldn't (wouldn't?) provide you with those parts? But, yes, you should be able to transplant the guts of the cartel rep into a DW case with no issue. There've been a few guys who have done this before, though I think DW has the best 7750 dials available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The spacing it slightly wrong on these watches. I dont want to spend 1500 on a movement. I worry that if I cant find the 37mm watches Im out of luck. My watch is 36mm but I think the 37mm watches dial may fit? I dont think the dials on the 39mm watches will fit my watch.

tonyp1 Posted February 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 Help spinmaster can you supply a 7750 6263,6264 dial, hands, feet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lhooq Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 That's strange. I was emailing DW about buying a few dials (7750 and V72) before Chinese New Year. Maybe he was referring to the specific type of dial you were requesting? Again, I'm pretty sure that the innards of the 7750-based cartel rep should slot into the DW case. Try contacting rolexaddict. I seem to remember reading about him transplanting the guts of a cartel 'Big Red' into the standard DW 6263 case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gplracer Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 Wow if the dials are not available this would be a new development. I suspect he will have some in soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
