Guest Sql_pl Posted March 18, 2011 Report Posted March 18, 2011 Nice effort and a lot of work for sure, but I am not sure if I like the end result!
Guest Sql_pl Posted March 18, 2011 Report Posted March 18, 2011 Then again at least he got the 1-1-0 spacing right with first try!
TeeJay Posted March 18, 2011 Report Posted March 18, 2011 Interesting, it's almost like a transitional model I can understand it not being to everyone's taste, but I definitely appreciate the work which has gone into it
Guest Sql_pl Posted March 18, 2011 Report Posted March 18, 2011 Nice finish on that bezel and good 1-1-0, maybe we should get in touch with him and try to talk him into making 6263 replacements?
TeeJay Posted March 18, 2011 Report Posted March 18, 2011 Nice finish on that bezel and good 1-1-0, maybe we should get in touch with him and try to talk him into making 6263 replacements? Can't hurt to spin them an email and see what they say
Ronin Posted March 18, 2011 Report Posted March 18, 2011 Reminds me more of this Omega than a Rolex. Pic stolen from internet, I believe from a scam site... ^ ^ ^
BGGodwin Posted March 19, 2011 Report Posted March 19, 2011 Reminds me more of this Omega than a Rolex. I agree!
lhooq Posted March 19, 2011 Report Posted March 19, 2011 Nice finish on that bezel and good 1-1-0, maybe we should get in touch with him and try to talk him into making 6263 replacements? According to mcotter on another forum, the bezel is by Phong and the dial is by Kirk Rich. I'm not sure where he was able to find that out, but if true, those parts aren't going to be cheap. I love the detail and quality, but the basic proportions just look wrong.
Dizzy Posted March 19, 2011 Report Posted March 19, 2011 I;ve seen them before... I like it!! Not sure where i got this pic but it was one of the gen forums... I am hoping the new super-case Daytonas (when they are announced) come with a black ceramic insert...
wiesn089 Posted March 19, 2011 Report Posted March 19, 2011 I don't like that at all, I think it looks cheap! But, hey, put me up for one 6263 bezel if he agrees to make on. Keep us posted! My 35th says hello!
theblueprince Posted March 20, 2011 Report Posted March 20, 2011 Not keen on this but i like the 116520 with the vintage stylee black insert added that a chap on TRF sells.
Ray T Posted March 21, 2011 Report Posted March 21, 2011 he posted some of those bezels for sale at some point. they were listed at $600 each. his post said that he took a gen bezel and had it milled out and made the way it was.
TeeJay Posted March 21, 2011 Report Posted March 21, 2011 Just threw this together from bits from my parts tray. Seems to be something missing though...
TeeJay Posted March 21, 2011 Report Posted March 21, 2011 Wow you react fast TeeJay! Just a coincidence that I had those parts lying around for other planned projects, so I thought I'd throw them together for a chuckle
Guest Sql_pl Posted March 21, 2011 Report Posted March 21, 2011 It actually reminded me my Franken 16520 that has been worn like that for a while!
TeeJay Posted March 21, 2011 Report Posted March 21, 2011 It actually reminded me my Franken 16520 that has been worn like that for a while! That'll look great once it's completed My plan for the dial, is to use it in a 6238 Pre-Daytona
