J&W 6263: That Big Red Freshness


lhooq

Recommended Posts

Small update.  Last month, I sent my Daytona off to the ZMeister for a parts swap.  For anyone who has ever wondered about the difference between Ofrei pushers and genuine (slightly used) units, take a look:

That's the Ofrei pusher below.  Yes, it's been knocked around a few times!

 

There is a difference here, though it's not noticeable until you get in close.  On the gen the edges are sharper and the grooves are deeper.  Dimensionally, there are no deviations that I can discern.

 

So is it worth the hundreds of dollars to upgrade to gen pushers?  Eh... Sure.

Are you aware that Rolex fit (at least) 3 different versions of those pushers to the 62xx Daytona over the years? That is why the Ofreis look slightly different than the others.

 

Yes, I am.  The Ofreis are closest to what Mazzariol/Patrizzi refer to as Mark 3 pushers, and those are what I bought for my supposedly late-1970s Daytona.

Great looking build, and very cool update.

 

I'd really like to find a dial that I'm happy with. The others that I have are all just close enough to where I notice the small flaws. 199 out of 200 people wouldn't notice, but the one time, the ONE guy DOES notice...and it's all over.

 

I like the comment about "doubt" being a cancer...so true.

Not as good as your deal on pushers, but it was a better price than I've been seeing on VRM lately.  And thanks!
