freddy333 Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 Sadly, that is what I thought. The watch you receive from DW is probably based on this test sample he did for me a few years ago. If/when I can locate a credible gold V72 dial, I will replace the A7750 with a V72. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cc33 Posted June 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 I absolutely love your pn I hope mine looks half as good, you inspired me to get the gen bracelet 100% now. By the way there was a 6263 with screw down pushers that had the pn dial here's a pic.. so I won't feel like it looks off if he sends it in the 6263 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cc33 Posted June 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 Sorry, messed up, I only meant to post that first pic.. anyway that model has the screw down pushers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cc33 Posted June 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 Right from antiquorum, so it must have been a real model Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 Screw pushers generally only appear on Oyster cases (the dial should say Oyster). Non-Oyster cases have pump pushers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rek001 Posted June 14, 2012 Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 How's it going with your second order? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cc33 Posted June 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 Good thanks, I sent the money and he has confirmed everything. I also just dropped a fortune on a real 18k solid gold rivet bracelet 7205 with 57 end links. I know its a big purchase to put on a 400$ watch but it has value, I can sell it anytime but it will add a gen quality I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cc33 Posted June 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 I asked David if it was plated with 18k or 14 and he said 18. So the color should match I hope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

panerai153 Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Nice watch!!! where else can I pick up a rep of this model? I'm not a fan of paying western union. DW is still in business, he has an Ebay storefront. Not sure about the gold 6263's but I saw some gold pushers for sale a few days ago on his site. He might be able to get the watch for you if you contact him. I almost pulled the trigger on a Gold 6263 back last year, but he was only taking WU and I chickened out. I also contacted Spinmaster who told me that he could get the watch from David, and do the mods on the movement. (Remove the rotor and autowind mechanism) However his price with the mods was going to be around 780.00 USD, and I didn't have the cash at the time. the other problem was the only dial available was the black dial, and i was really wanting the gold dial with black subdials. Here is DW's eBay name that he sells under, qkyvaljouxshop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watch.aholic Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 Just in from dw Bumping an old thread guys.....but I need to know what crown and tube to buy to replace on my DW Gold 6263....just like this. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 Depending on age, the 6263 was fitted with either Twinlock (early) or Triplock crowns (later). Golds will be pricey, so be prepared. Tube should match whichever crown you use (the part of the tubes that screw into the case are the same). Typically, the crown seller will have tubes, or you can get them from most of the watch parts houses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a way to tell which crown (twinlock or triplock) came on my DW 6263 gold, just by looking at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cc33 Posted March 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 It came with a triplock (3 dots) rep crown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watch.aholic Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 It came with a triplock (3 dots) rep crown So is it safe to assume that we can replace it with a gen triplock crown or ANY rep triplock crown? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 When dealing with non-gens, I would not assume anything. The only way to know what fits your particular case is to try it. Sometimes a gen or aftermarket tube will fit perfectly, more often you may need to re-tap threads to make them fit (the crown must fit the tube, not the case).
