lhooq Posted July 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted July 11, 2013 Report Share Posted July 11, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

CptTripps Posted July 11, 2013 Report Share Posted July 11, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not as good as your deal on pushers, but it was a better price than I've been seeing on VRM lately. And thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
