vlydog Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 I remember reading so where that Rolex first used the screw-down pusher on the 6263 in 1976. Can anyone confirm? Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ephry73 Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 I thought it was earlier. Freddy, Ubi and M can definitely confirm this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lhooq Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 B, screwdowns first showed up on the 6240 in 1965. The early pushers look different to the later versions, and the 6240 midcase has more in common with the 6239/41. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiesn089 Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 Yup, LHOOQ is right, 6240 was the first one, but the case is different (a little bit smaller). There are also two case versions of earlier and later 6263/6265 with the earlier one having slightly shorter lugs. I think the first 6263/6265 came out in the very early 70s and they always had screwdown pushers on these models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valty Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 6240's had MK0 & MK I pushers. Barely not found on the net (or expect to pay +3k€ the pair & be verrry fast). No aftermarket alternative I guess... 6263 & 6265 had the MKII (ref P301) pushers from 70 to ~75. Then, they had the MKIII / service (ref P302) pushers, from ~75 to 87 Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lhooq Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 Someone sold this "6240" on the auction site last month: 160786973279 There's not one gen piece on it, but I'd like to know where the faux-Millerighe pusher came from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
