If you could buy one DW 6239

[ebzen02]

I need your serious opinion here. I am about to buy one of DW's RWG special 6239 but having trouble selecting one so I come to those with excellent Rolex tastes. So which of the four options?

1.

2.

3.

4.

4

# 3

[omgiv]

I am looking to get one myself and am going with #3.

[ebzen02]

Honestly I am torn between 3 and 4

[StormTooper4]

Get two a #3 & a #4 and send the oneyou dont like as much as the other to me please

[BGGodwin]

Four, no doubt!

This pic is pushing me over the edge because I am a strap guy...

I would like the #4 dial with the #1 bezel. The resulting watch would look close enough to a Sub, to the wife, so that she wouldn't realize I had another new watch!

Ebzy,its 4.

You are welcome,sir.

[ebzen02]

Lol! I am leaning towards 4 and my wife agrees with you Dave..lol!

[Dave123]

Well even Stevie can clearly see that. He says listen to your wife,like Dave,they always seem to be right...

#3 all day long <3

I'm surprised by the huge amount of support the standard dials are getting! And here I thought the three color Newman would be winning this poll easily.

I have that one and rarely wear it. It looks good in the box, but looks dainty on my wrist. I just can't get used to it. I think a black dial would work better for me.

Definitely 3, but only because I've already got a black 6265. Imo the standard dials work much better on these, they are quite dressy, while the Newmans tend to look a little bit too clownish for my taste.

[solkryssare]

4 mate. Pure class that is.

[b-uhr]

no.3 is smoking hot!!!!

[Guest Sql_pl]

3 for sure!

Now that sounds like a plan, i like your thinking

[freddy333]

To my eye, while not perfect, 2 contains the least obvious flaws. The subdial size/spacing is off on the other 3 & the 110 on 1's bezel is too wide.

[Guest Sql_pl]

Newman dials are always better in hiding incorrect 7750 spacing but I still believe I prefer the plain silver dial/black subdials models in both 6239 and 6263.

To the OP:

Make sure you clearly state THE MODEL, dial and bezel configuration + emphasize to David to QC your watch!!! I can't state this strongly enough! Add pictures if you can!

I ordered two of these (6239 and 6240) and after I opened the package, the crystal and bezel fell off on both watches! The 6240 won't wind.....the CB cover was pushing

The movement down on the case.

I emailed David (communication with him is excellent, BTW), about these and he sent me 2 new replacements......guess what, the new ones came with their own problems!

The 6240 came with the wrong bezel (SS), so it's another 6239. The 6239, the 10o'clock dot fell off and was all over the place.

Just sharing my experience........DW's quality is not there!

Completely agree with everything above. DW's great in communicating and terrific about sending replacement parts, but has pretty poor QC. Even if you state, re-state, and confirm your order, odds are that something will go missing or you get a wrong part. This was true when bought my first Daytona in '09 (three tries to get a good dial), and it's true as of right now. Seriously. I'm in the middle of sending an email complaining about him sending the wrong bezel after not sending it the first time.

Too many unforced errors! Yet I keep coming back for more punishment!
