Dw 6263


watcher

Recommended Posts

Today I received my DW from a great member in the U.S. It is a standard watch so far apart from changing the crown as the original was slipping when being wound. This crown looks pretty good but is a rep crown but I will leave it for now I think.

I guess this is the mystery movement inside(pic attached) but I guess the DW experts will confirm that. It works fine but the main second hand moves around a little at 12.

Now to let the mods begin. Crystal first then we'll see as I'm going to be building a V72 model shortly.....damn these things get under your skin!!!

Here's a couple of quick pics.

Nice!!! These things are the "starter drug" for vintage Daytona addicts...kind of like marijuana. I predict that you'll be a full-fledged VJ72 crackhead in no time :thumbsupsmileyanim:

I have just stripped it down and fitted an gen tropic, wow what a difference to the dial!

Sorry Klingsor, I only read this post after rebuiolding the watch. Also refitted the centre seconds hand.

I will post another pic later on tonight.

Darn,

I hope to be in that DW club soon. My first DW VJ23 order (over 6 weeks ago) got confescated by his government and unlike other dealers on the board he does not resend a watch until it get's delivered... I had ordered it with an extra movement...He only accepts WU. $450 completely down the drain!!!

He kept communicating good though but a loss is a loss. And yes it is the real DW in Asia and not the US based scammer (HWILG).

Now I reordered another one (fingers crossed), and he promised me to have it disguised when sent. It's been over two weeks and I am getting really nervous... Maybe I win more when trying my luck in the Casino!

In the end I hope to be a clubmember (within reasonable cashflow) :bleh:

If it works ou I will try the VJ72 kit... Do you run risk with sending that as well?

Cheers Job
