cjjoyce1 Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 I get overly anal when comparing things. I drive myself crazy. My son bought himself a 6264 from Andrew that I'm supposed to perfect. It's a panda dial with the red tick marks. The first thing to tackle is the dial and hands. Of course the subdial at 6 is off on Andrew's, but I've got the tutorial on remedying that. So between DW and Ingod, my questions really boils down to does the Ingod dial's subdials have texture to them? You can't tell from the pics. Ingods subdials have a wee bit too much white between them and the black chapter around the dial, but his printing of ROLEX cosmograph is, IMO, much better. I have a gen dial crown to replace either. Since they are basically the same price, there's no advantage there. Thanks guys, I'm off into new territory here and everyone's previous posts, tutorials, and comparing has been very helpful in making some other decisions on which way to go on this.

dropbear2008 Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 I think ingod's dials are for V72 only... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjjoyce1 Posted March 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 I think ingod's dials are for V72 only... Right, and his watch has the V75 with the fixed pinion @6. I thought the 3 and 9 subdial spacing was the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 Ingod dial The 2 biggest flaws with his (& most other aftermarket) 62xx Daytona dials are the slightly too small subdials (which leaves a bit too much space between the outer rim of the subdial & the inside edge of the chapter ring area) & the crown (I replace them with a gen, as is the case in the pic above). That said, like most aftermarket parts, there is some variability with these dials. I have been trying to buy 1 of his black Newmans, but each 1 looks slightly different & the variations are not pretty. The printing quality varies, there are misaligned/loose/missing index markers, different colored index markers (on the same color dials), misaligned vertical lines in the subdials, etc. But, at its best, ingod's Newman dial comes pretty close & from my benchmark of being viewed from an arm's distance away, they can look quite convincing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjjoyce1 Posted March 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 Thanks freddy - I think your's was actually the inspriation for his. What you've said is basically what I thought too. And I have a gen crown to replace this with. But one thing I can't discern from your pics either is whether or not the subdials have the concentric ring texture or not. It looks like no - am I right?
