danielv2000 Posted June 10, 2012 Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 I've finally gathered all the parts for my silver-dial 6263 vintage Daytona. Many thanks to a few members here who helped me source the various parts. Nothing too crazy so far, the usual gen crown and crystal. Everything else is from DW. I would like your opinion on the coronet swap I want to make on the dial. I've come close a couple of times on a gen service dial but each time it went for higher than my wallet would allow! I've got 2 gen coronets extracted from other dials. Please let me know which is best. Keep in mind that I am also building a 6239 or 6241 PN Daytona with a V72 I sourced. Which ever you feel fits on the appropriate dial. Here are the 2 coronets: I also have 2 sets of hands. I am not sure which would be more appropriate for this dial. I will try to get better pictures but it appears as though one set has slightly more luminous area than the other. Would appreciate your input on which is better for this dial. Here are the parts - not pictured is a gen 78350. The case looks pretty good. I'm not as detail-oriented as some members here so I can live the few flaws. The bezel. I have a few of these - one in really bad shape. This is the cleanest one I have. A damned good DW dial . Remember - which coronet pictured above should replace this one? Also, should I vintage titium relume the markers? The movement will be donated from this beautiful watch. We have seen this one before. 2 Pics below are not mine. Much gratitude to a very classy member here. Thanks for looking and the suggestions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janeto72 Posted June 10, 2012 Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 use the coronet on the right in your picture.... use hands with wider lume area Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danielv2000 Posted June 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 use the coronet on the right in your picture.... use hands with wider lume area Thanks, I thought so because of the slightly larger opening of the mouth. I will have to examine the hands carefully and try to post some pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
