janeto72 Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 Hi everyone.....if money was not an issue and you wanted to purchase the "best of the best" aftermarket Vintage rolex daytona 6263 V72 stainless steel case, which would you go with? There are some criteria it needs to meet. 1.) Must accept gen bezel,pushers,crown/crown tube and crystal 2.) Must accept gen 571 endlinks 3.) Must accept gen caseback 4.) Must look very close to gen case thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 Understanding that no aftermarket part (including cases) is perfect, differences between the better aftermarket cases are minimal & pricing maximal, this seller's 6263 case probably has the fewest sins.

janeto72 Posted May 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 Is there nothing out there that is better than Phong's case? I would use a gen case but i haven't had any luck sourcing one......... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiesn089 Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 Phong's is very good, but only makes sense when you are using A LOT of gen parts for you build, otherwise DW's is fine. I don't think you will be able to get a gen case for a reasonable price or anything near that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janeto72 Posted May 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 well i have pretty much all the gen pieces to make one except a gen case. i have a dw case, a mystery japanese case........and i am thinking about buying the phong case too...

janeto72 Posted May 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 I have decided to go ahead and purchase the phong case.....I understand I can negotiate the price....What would be a fair price to offer phong for one of his 6263 cases? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lhooq Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 Maybe someone can correct me, but I was under the impression that the Phong 6263 cases have changed over time. For example, the one that ubiquitous used in his 6265 build is much nicer than the one shown on the J.A.W. website. I had never looked at Phong's gen/rep comparison photos before, and I would argue that the rep case pictured is visually inferior, overall, to DW's 6263. As for the Yuki and NDT 6263s, I don't think anyone has ever made a detailed examination of either case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I found the quality pretty convincing, compared to Taiwan case I have, DW case, and photos of original case. Do you want some photos to see it better ? R.

Valty Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 Okay mates :-) I will do some photo comparison very soon between DW case, Taiwan case, and Phong case But trust me - the quality of Phong's job is awesome (and I don't have any actions in his business, lol) Cheers !

wiesn089 Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 Here's what a Phong case franken looks like: I was really happy with Phong's quality. I only used the mid-case though, everything else was gen, bezel etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CptTripps Posted July 12, 2013 Report Share Posted July 12, 2013 The 6263 case I got from Phong was pretty outstanding. I feel like I should have had him do the 'vintage' treatment on it though. He did a nice job on my 1655, and I couldn't easily duplicate it when I tried on my 6263. Food for thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
