cc33 Posted August 23, 2012 Report Posted August 23, 2012 Finally got my phong 6265 back with gen sigma dial installed. Looks great but I think ill swap in some gen hands one of these days.
HauteHippie Posted August 23, 2012 Report Posted August 23, 2012 Fantastic. Love the black sigma dial. I don't want to ask what that set you back. But it's an absolute rare beauty! Wear that one well . . . and I definitely recommend hands when the budget allows for it.
wiesn089 Posted August 23, 2012 Report Posted August 23, 2012 Congratulations! Nothing beats a Sigma Daytona!
dieselpower Posted August 23, 2012 Report Posted August 23, 2012 Lovely, but dare I say age the case so it matches the dial? Either way, wear it well.
cc33 Posted August 24, 2012 Author Report Posted August 24, 2012 I fully agree this is the dial by itself.. I say your right and the case needs some extra vintigizing
HauteHippie Posted August 24, 2012 Report Posted August 24, 2012 I would agree as well and follow Red's lead on the vintagizing front... His 168000 looks amazing.
lionsandtigers Posted August 24, 2012 Report Posted August 24, 2012 put my eyes and tongue back in my head. love it
danielv2000 Posted August 24, 2012 Report Posted August 24, 2012 Congratulations! Nothing beats a Sigma Daytona! +1
lhooq Posted August 24, 2012 Report Posted August 24, 2012 Excellent dial, cc! The subdials give it a lot of character. Before you do anything to the case, I would suggest darkening the lume on the hands. It doesn't have to exactly match the dots on the dial, but it would give your 6265 a more cohesive look.
cc33 Posted August 25, 2012 Author Report Posted August 25, 2012 Thanks everyone, I think phong messes with me sometimes lol I bought hands that were supposed to be right but they're grey instead of black. I'm going gen and never looking back.
lhooq Posted August 25, 2012 Report Posted August 25, 2012 Thanks everyone, I think phong messes with me sometimes lol I bought hands that were supposed to be right but they're grey instead of black. I'm going gen and never looking back. Back in April I ordered one chronograph sweep hand from Phong. I specifically ordered an all-black hand, to match my silver dial. A month later, I was pleased to discover that he'd sent two hands. Not long afterward, the 6263 mid-case I ordered generously included a handset. I thought that was nice of him, other than the fact that not one of the three sweep hands was all-black!
lhooq Posted August 25, 2012 Report Posted August 25, 2012 Lol, he's special! Actually, once I realized that Phong had gotten all those orders wrong, I felt a bit nostalgic for ol' DW.
janeto72 Posted August 25, 2012 Report Posted August 25, 2012 order the opposite part next time to get the right part...LOL!!!
